Text of report by Lebanese Hezbollah TV Al-Manar on 24 July

In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

"Fight them and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you to victory over them, and heal the breasts of Believers." [Koranic verses]

Within the context of the heroic epic fought by the Islamic Resistance and in fulfilment of its promise to defend the homeland, dignity, and honour, since 0800 [0500] today, the mujahidin have been confronting an armoured force of the enemy army, backed by a company of paratroopers, which its trying to advance from the northern parts of Marun al-Ra's towards Bint Jubayl, and are engaging it in fierce battles. During these battles, they managed to hit and destroy four tanks, some of which were burned completely, and their crew were killed or wounded.

Victory is from God.

[At 0848 gmt, Al-Manar Television carries the following "Flash News" screen caption: "The Islamic Resistance confirms that a fifth occupation army tank was destroyed."]

Let us all pray that the WMDs Saddam shipped off to Syria do not come up in this campaign.

If Syria, or Hezbollah launch WMDs on Israel, well... lets hope we are prepared for the long winter that prevails afterward.

"We also sunk an IDF aircraft carrier!"

"Bagdad Bob got a new job."

Hey I loved Bagdad Bob. I still crack up when I see those video clips.

It must be a misreading of the announcement:

"they managed to hit and destroy four, thanks"

[Izzy Dunne]

If Syria, or Hezbollah launch WMDs on Israel

If HizBullies had the keys to the WMD launcher, woudn't they have launched already?

It's not like they are great strategic thinkers...

Let us all pray that the WMDs Saddam shipped off to Syria do not come up in this campaign

Iran and Syria are the ones who should do the praying.

The IDF will take losses, but at the end of this process, Hezbollah will be crushed.

After Gettysburg, Grant took losses 2 to 1 for the remainder of the Civil War, and won.

[RandallFlagg]

Actually it went like this:

"they managed to hit and destroy four,(roaring laughter, long pause) thanks"

[Thombo2]

This would be a very big strategic error for Assad.If wmd's are used,i suspect Israel and/or the US will take out the source ie Syria in short order.

Don't worry about the WMD. It was destroyed by the Russians over three years ago.

"We also sunk an IDF aircraft carrier!" There, that does it.

More wishful thinking by these murdering A**HOLES?I heard Jonathan Cook(Manchester Guardian)on Laura Ingraham this morning debating David Horowitz.I think you can well imagine how Mr.Cook took the side of Hezbollah!!I wanted to slap him silly!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Syrians are stupid. But they're not that stupid.

Two water tanks, two gas tanks, and a septic tank.
