Thank you.
Al Taibe - just to the west of Israel's most northerly tip (the pan handle).
Close to Kiryat Shmona, the twon that has been exposed to so many Katyusha attacks.
That is the correct location, Taibe on the topo. New reports of fighting there, as well as Aadaisse back on the border, Rabb ath Thalathin, unmarked on the topo but 1.1 km due south of Taibe, just west of the hilltop, and Kfar Kila, next hilltop due east.
IDF was in there early Sunday morning (EDT) per reports from Ynet and Haaretz, but came back out Monday morning (local), with quotes from tankers about being in their tanks for 36 hours straight, indicating they probably went in sometime Saturday (EDT), and pulled out when the "stand down" precluded CAS.
Hezbollah reports confirm fighting around this area, and also claim fighting around Aaita exh Chaab (Aita al Shaab), 9.1 km WSW of Bent Jbail, near the border.
Reports from JPost have Nahal Division and Golani Division's Brigade (Bge) 13 operating near Taibe, while reports from yesterday also have Bge 401, an armored unit, operating in that area. Location unpublished but also involved in or soon to be involved in fighting are Galilee Division and Paratroops Division, per various reports.
Ynet claims 5 divisions are expected to take part, two of them armored, but does not seem able to distinguish between units of Corps size, Division size, and Brigade size, referring to one unit as an "armored Corps division".
Reserves from the 30k callup last week are reported to be enroute to the above locations where they will roundout units already discussed, again take this with a grain of salt, IDF operates in a very fluid and flexible manner compared to other modern armies, especially in TACON and OPCON arrangements of units.
If anyone has more info on the Korean DMZ skirmish, or on a reported Israeli 15k additional callup, above and beyond last week's 30k callup, I could use it, thx.
