" 80 miles from the Israeli border. That is a long way for the Calvary to come to the rescue. "

How long does it take for a squadron of Israeli fighter-bombers to get to N.E. Lebanon? Can't be too long...

Any military types / experts know?

Flight speed 1500 MPH. Israeli jets are based less then 5 minutes away. Little over 3 mins to fly 80 miles.
