From Aljazeera:
"Fears of war with Israel grow in Lebanon after rockets exchanged At least three Hezbollah members, an Israeli senior officer and two Palestinian fighters have been killed so far in the cross-border fighting..." "...But since the Palestinian group Hamas launched an unprecedented operation against Israel on Saturday, residents in Lebanon have looked on with trepidation. The tiny Levant country of just 6 million people – already reeling from a historic economic meltdown – is on the cusp of conflict following an uptick in cross-border violence with Israel. On Monday, Israeli shelling killed three members of the Lebanese Shia group Hezbollah, according to a statement from the Iran-backed organisation. An Israeli deputy commander and two Palestinian fighters in southern Lebanon were also killed. The next day, Hezbollah fired a guided missile at an Israeli military vehicle. Israel retaliated by hitting a Hezbollah observation post that belongs to the mainly Shia armed group..." |

The tunnels, urban terrain, and multi national support create a network that will go on forever. As long as Iran can recruit people to kill Jews, there will always be a threat. That is fact. I saw this firsthand in Iraq and Afghanistan. Anything short of destroying every tunnel, clearing every house and killing every terrorist in a city of million people, then there is no wiping them out. Iran and Palestine have created a situation that can only be solved by nuclear weapons and the killing of thousands and thousands of innocent people. Measuring Against The Linchpin Itwas a method of determining which enemy civilians would be beheaded, used by the Mongols and other tribes that lived in the Mongolian plateau. Genghis Khan used this brutal method against Jamukha's coalition of tribes in 1202. All male captives were forced to walk beside a wagon wheel. If their heads were higher than the linchpin (a pin inserted at the end of the axle) they were immediately executed. The wagon wheel was a large wheel used to transport yurts and other goods. This technique was probably used to preempt against revenge attacks that were common between tribes at this time. If one tribe were to attack another, there was always the possibility that there would be a revenge attack soon after. By eliminating the older males, there was less chance of a counterattack from tribes that were in perpetual conflict due to centuries of distrust and robbery. Genghis Khan was a genocidal rapist and warlord of extreme brutality. It is a travesty that his name is not brought up when Hitler's name is. I'm glad Israel isn't doing that. Time heals all wounds. Do you think Frankfurt airport will be renamed Adolf International or there will be a chain of restaurants named Hitlers hotdogs in 700 years? There was a Swastika-themed restaurant in India about 15-18 years ago called "Hitler's." It was really weird. |

Rocket fire from Lebanon into Israel worrisome, says White House’s Kirby The United States is watching developments on the Lebanon-Israel border closely and does not want to see the conflict widened or expanded, says White House national security spokesman John Kirby. “We have seen rocket fire coming from southern Lebanon … into northern Israel.

Manned paragliders have landed northern Israel: Regional council From Hoda Abdel Hamid in West Jerusalem The head of the regional council in northern Israel says 15 to 20 manned paragliders have landed inside the area from across the border and a manhunt is under way. The Israeli military has only said there were possible infiltrators. But the regional council didn’t mince words, he actually says there had been paragliders that flew over that border carrying people and now they were looking for those people and that’s why he was telling all the inhabitants of that area to stay inside and shelter. Each paraglider would carry one maybe two people. This is a major escalation if this all proves to be true. |
