Down to 40 rocket attacks? That is curious but may simply mean they await instruction. Or their "leader" has been crushed or is running through a tunnel or they are running out of fire power and await reinforcements or...??? But a strike against Syria within the next 24 hours?

"That is curious but may simply mean they await instruction."

Maybe they are preparing for "the event" that Iran was supposedly hyping a few days ago?

Been in meeting all day so I don't know if this perspective has been shared but here is mine.

At least yesterday, Hezbollah was reporting leadership was not DEAD or was not KILLED. They did not say they were not HURT and/ or in process of DYING.

My guess is his was very hurt or has fled to Syria.

Someone on the news (former military/USA) totally supported a strike on Syria to "break the back" of Hezbollah which, he said, was imperative in winning this round of the WOT. I must say I was shocked but perhaps this would do it because he also said that Iran won't step in. Can't understand the logic there, however.

OK folks...
Let's identify this round...

I'm almost sure this is a PHOTOSHOP. Seems like an awfully large round for artillery,eh?

Can the current military types among us help? My Zoomie background isn't helping much here...

If I'm not mistaken, we're coming up on 24 hours now since the Hezbollah bunker/mosque was blown to kingdom come by the IAF. And not a word from Messrs. Nasrullah and close associates.

Hmmmm.

That doesn't look like an artillery shell to me. The propellant charges used in lobbing artillery shells miles away would be very hard on those flimsy fins at the back of whatever he's holding.

If it is a gas shell, I'd expect it to be full of tear gas.

She's a Columbian Latin music pop singer. Why her take on the whole thing is news worthy, I have no idea.
