Another 15 terrorists killed in and around Bint Jbail according to IDF sources.

Slowly but surely they being ground down. Those tunnels and fortifications that would have been a formidable obstacles for the Israelis if they had wanted to make rapid forays deep into Lebanon, instead turns out to be death-traps for the terrorists when the IDF takes time to methodically isolate and subjugate the fortified villages.

The only salvation for the terrorists is a cease-fire, but not even the Europeans seem to be too keen any longer.

"Lebanon is in such a terrible state, a cease-fire can only happen as part of an overall solution to its political instability," said a European diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity, given the sensitive nature of the Mideast crisis.

And who said that President Bush and his team didn't know diplomacy?

Anyway. don't misunderstand me; it will still be a very hard fight for the IDF to dislodge the Hezbollah but their front-line fighters are being surrounded and decimated (or better if you think of the original meaning of the word).

According to the IDF Hezbollah has around 1000 terrorists in the villages close to the Israel border. Already by Saturday the IDF claimed to have killed some 100 Hezbollas, and they estimate that there are around 500 terrorists in Bint Jbail.

As noted by Fitzcarraldo many of the "dead martyrs" are in their 30s or 40s, probably senior Hezbollah members. Their "front line" fighters are being mauled by the IDF, and there is nothing they can do about it. As long as they have the village surrounded and covered by the IAF there is no way out for these terrorists.

I would be wicked cool if the IDF started placing the heads of the hebolleez on pikes, nail them to trees or skin them alive and place their hides on stones to cure in the Sun.

Prime for (as other posters have pointed out)... the use of "Propane and Propane Accessories" (use your imagination)...

The unit has been able to recruit reserves, but MI has noticed that it has run into difficulty convincing members of the terror group who reside in northern Lebanon to travel south to participate in the fighting.

All the terrorists up north have heard how it's going in the south and now they suddenly have "car trouble." LOL.
