Myself affection babelfish.
I wonder- does Israel posess the A-10 Thunderbolt?
Touched? With what? Yellow molten metal rockets?
Headling could read "Israel flattens Hezbolla's Tyre" ;-)
I understand it- "All of your tanks are belong to us"
Opps..me bad.."Headline"
Additional me. To upwards do we bump.
I don't think so. They were offered the A-10 years ago, but turned it down for operational reasons. I think they preferred to have jets that weren't so role-specific.
LLO
I may be incorrect, but from what i've read only their special forces have the Tavor.
If Syrians in Iraq are "insurgents", aren't Israelis in Lebanon "insurgents"? So, the headlines should be "Insurgents attack Hezbollah positions".
I want to see them run up through the Becca valley.
