Question for the group...

Re the raid into Lebanon yesterday, when the Israeli special forces were ambushed, and tragically, two killed, by Hezbollah...Could this have been an attempt by the Israelis to snatch a few Iranian soldiers? It sounds more plausible than what's being said..that it was a raid to blow up some rockets..That doesn't really make any sense....the risk/reward for the mission doesn't compute...If they had the location of a rocket site, ortunnel complex that close to the Israeli border, a mortar barrage would have wiped it out in a few seconds. I suspect there is far more here than we've been told..

I dunno, but you're correct that the story didn't make any sense.

I suppose that's possible, but my first thought was that the IDF had information that the two kidnapped Israelis in Hezbollah hands were in those tunnels. If they're not bombing the tunnels to collapse them, then I'd bet that's why.

I don't think until this is a completed mission we are going to be told the full story on the reasons for particular ops...they get their intl..they act on it.
