if the IDF goes in, i hope they don't limit their operations to south of the Litani, they need to go to Hizbullah's "Eagles Nest" - the Bekka.

What they find in South Lebanon will likely lead them to the Bekka.

Hhmmm...interesting- not sure how valid it is though:)

EXILED Islamist preacher Omar Bakri Mohammed tried but failed to join the naval evacuation of British nationals from Lebanon's capital Beirut, it was reported today.

Bakri attempted to join evacuees boarding a Royal Navy vessel on Wednesday, but was rebuffed "at the harbour gates by sharp-eyed officials", The Sun said in a front page "exclusive".
A Ministry of Defence spokesman in London could not confirm the report, but said: "Our understanding is that's not true, and we've told The Sun that".

The Sun also reported that Syrian-born Bakri has written to the British embassy in Beirut, asking to be readmitted to Britain on "humanitarian grounds".

Bakri, who settled in Britain in 1985, was banned from reentering Britain in August last year, when then home secretary Charles Clarke ruled that his presence was "not conducive to the public good".

He headed the radical al-Muhajiroun group in London until 2004, and praised the hijackers who carried out the September 11 attacks in the United States in 2001 as the "magnificent 19".

Thousands of foreign nationals have fled Lebanon as Israel has imposed an air and naval blockade on the country and continued a bombing campaign that has left more than 300 people dead after the Islamic militia Hezbollah kidnapped two Israeli soldiers last week.

I think that the Haredi soldiers have their own battalion in the IDF.

I think the an invasion of southern lebanon may be tolerated by Syria and Iran, but if the IDF goes in hard to the Bekka there may be certain forces within Syria that force Assad's hand to a least make a token reponse. the Bekka has long been a terrorist playground and not just for Hizbullah, all sorts of goodies are thought to be stored away in the Bekka

Apologies for an uncalled for comment. The comment was public, the apology must be public as well.
