Less than 1% of Beirut has been hit. Yet the MSM
will not present that because these have been ultra-precision
attacks against terrorists (and the civilian shields and UN toadies).

The IDF reports airstrikes against 60 terror-related targets in Lebanon Wednesday,
striking 45 buildings and headquarters used by the Hizb'allah terror organization.
Among the structures was a number of weapons storage facilities,
three of them south of Tzur. A number of rocket launch sites and access routes
leading to them were bombed as well to hinder the terrorists' ability to launch rockets
against Israel. Rocket launchers were also attacked,
including a truck-mounted mobile launcher southeast of Tzur.
During the afternoon the Israeili Air Force bombarded the HQ terror organization Amal near Anatzrya.

The black in the maps is what the Israelis have taken out.
The MSM focuses on the same buildings over and over.

In Byblos, Lebanon's ancient Phoenician port, oil from
the Iranian-suppied Hisb'allah-fired Silkworm missile that missed its Israeli target,
then hit an Egyptian tanker and set it ablaze.

In Khiam, south Lebanon, after Israeli retaliation for numerous
indiscriminate murderous missile strikes against Israeli civilians from
UN-protected terrorist "safe" houses.

In Lebanon, United Nations soldiers from India carry the body of a U.N. observer
killed after Kofi Annan refused to let them leave. Even as the missiles were fired from
their buildings, they called Israel, but could not leave according to explicit written
orders requiring only relief if Annan allowed it.
Israel asked for all non-Hizb'allah personnel to evacuate from South Lebanon.
War Criminal Terrorist-Emperor and grifter Annan refused and forced these people from several countries
to perish because of retaliations against anticivilian-missile firings that Annan condoned, paid for, etc.

In Beirut Lebanon, at the airport, Jordanian military planes
carrying a "field hospital" and "medical aid". Note the special forces.

In Lebanon, MSM graphic minimizing the murders by the
Hizb'allah, Lebanese and the UN terrorists.

In the south-eastern Lebanon's town of Soer,
rubble and smoke from the terrorist "safe" house.

In Tyre, south Lebanon, Israeli retaliation for the missile strikes.
with persistent terrorists and precision-formed debris.

In Tyre, Chinese UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon)
lured in by Annan in "Kofi's Campaign" which he created to maximize murder
of innocents against America's 'War on Terror'. With less than 1% of even the most bombed
cities hit in retaliation, people say, "why is it that the UN is always seen at the terrorist stronghold,
reviving terrorists, and moving terrorists, guarding terrorists, etc."

In Tyre, French United Nations International Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL)
gives water to a Lebanese Army sergeant. Is this to the refugees or the terrorists?
And how representative are these pictures manufactured by, and for, the drive-by MSM?

French soldiers of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL)
scan the area outside their compound in the direction of the Israeli border.

In Tyre, Lebanese Red Cross. Are they in the 1% rubble of
destroyed buildings, minutes after Israeli warplane missiles attack,
as below, or are they helping the innocent?

In Tyre, the United Nations (UN) flag flies on a car (not seen)
parked in front of a "residential"-terrorist building, demolished by Israeli air retaliation
for endless missile attacks murdering Christian, Arab, and Jewish Israelis coming
from that Hizb'allah-UN building.

In Tyre, south Lebanon, on road to Sidon, trucks associated
with the United Nations terrorist organization, the World Food Program,
again near a terrorist "safe" house taken out by understandable Israeli retaliation.

In Zefta village, south Lebanon, at the air retaliation
against the terrorist Haraket Shiite Amal.

Along the Lebanese Israeli border, camouflage and other preparations
before setting off on an operation in Bint Jbeil,
Hizb'allah terrorists' HQ and missile high ground.

In Lebanon, injured Israeli soldiers, hurt from defending
the West from terrorists.

In the northern Israeli town of Kiryat Bialik, yet another terrorist
imprecise, civilian-directed, missle attack
from terrorist Hizb'allah-UN outposts.

In the northern Israeli coastal town of Haifa,
a wounded Israeli soldier is taken to the hospital.

In Gaza City, terrorist Palestinians when other terrorists were
taken out after the Palestinian terrorists dare to violate
yet another 'cease fire' with more missile attacks. Just another hudna, it seems.

In Paris, Ms. Goldwasser, mother of captured Israeli soldier Ehud Goldwasser,
whose capture and associated murders began "Kofi Annan's War" or "Kofi's Conflict".

In Pittsburgh, PA, at Carnegie Mellon University,
the peaceful proIsrael people are physically assaulted by the
neoNazis, Islamic Nazis and proterrorists.
Like all hate Crime against anyone but Moslems, this too will
be ignored by the FBI and local authorities.

In Rio de Janeiro, Brazilians and "descendents of Lebanon"
participate in a pro-terrorist protest. Iran has directed their next stop to be ... America.
[Where is the American myopic Congress?]

In Rome, at the news conference, grifter U.N. Secretary-General and
Emperor-of-Terrorists Kofi Annan, whose inaction began "Kofi Annan's War"
tries to blame others in his endless antiSemitism and proterrorism.

In Rome, Lebanon's Prime Minister Fouad Siniora, and the others
with the Prime-Terrorist-Grifter Annan surrounded by the fawning
fabricating proterrorist media.
It's enough to give anyone a headache.

In Tehran, Iran, at the Behesht-e-Zahra cemetery,
yellow Hizb'allah flags, at least 60 volunteer terrorists
were ordered this morning to join other terrorists in Lebanon and America.
They are called the first convoy of 'Islamic warriors (terrorists)'
putting Iran again in the path of all terrorism in the World (as is its way).

In Mogadishu, at the airport, unidentified cargo plane landed,
raising fears of a new weapons shipment in violation of the UN arms embargo.
Who would have thought that? End sarcasm. The UN and Kofi terrorists
and Klowns and grifters and rapists and slavers are ALWAYS associated
with getting arms to terrorists. Calling Arms dealer, Nick Cage. ...

In Multan, the pro-terrorist Journalist Association courts the New York Times
editorship and the drive-by Mainstream media, as they get their CVs in order
and reveal again where the MSM stands.

The Tadpoles of IC 410
Shown is of faint emission nebula IC 410. The glowing gas cloud contains the "tadpoles".
Emission from sulfur atoms is shown in red, hydrogen atoms in green, and oxygen in blue.
Partly obscured by foreground dust, the nebula itself surrounds NGC 1893,
a young galactic cluster of stars that energizes the glowing gas.
The tadpoles are around 10 light-years long
some 12,000 light-years away, toward the constellation Auriga.

If you want the pictures, better save them, FReepers and dear readers.
This took the entire day to collect and post, so please spend a few hours today helping for success in the War for Enduring Freedom.
Thanks in advance for your pictures and observations.

I stumbled across this on the internet this am.

Hezbollah, fighting techniques and tactics

Posted by othello

For more than six years, this Shiite Islamic group has been preparing for such a confrontation with Israel.

It was greatly helped by Iran in terms of weapons, missiles of all ranges and ammunition whereas Syria, which controlled the country for five of the six years, helped logistically and by turning a blind eye as to weapons movements.

But how are they organized, what makes them so efficient…to start of, it is important to stress that they do not operate as a regular army does. Their fighting is mostly Guerilla style fighting… or rather a “modernized” Guerilla style.

Firstly there are four levels of personnel in the militia, two fighting and two reserves:

The Elite fighters, these are trained veterans with years of exposure and multiple training tours in both Iran and Syria. There are rumors that some of these participated in the latest Iraki fights under Moktada el Sader’s command. The “normal” sodiers: these are regular fighters with little or no fighting experience. They are usually in charge of logistic operations and other day to day activities and also participate in combats. Reserve level one, are those that have finished their military training with the militia after their National Military Service at most three years ago. These are considered as still “fresh” in the sense that the training required to get them back into fighting level is minimal. Strictly logistics and information gathering. Very rarely put in combat situations.

Reserve level two, are those who have finished their military service for more than three years. It is important to note that both reserve levels undergo regular “refresh” training sessions for periods of one to three months.

Set aside from the four levels above is the suicide squad. Very little is known about the members in this squad since it is kept very hush hush. Since they have little training to do (for obvious reasons) they spend their time in prayers and contemplation.

Currently active in the war are the first three levels of fighters.

How do they operate?

Hezbollah have perfected the tactic of hit and run which makes it very hard for the Israelis, using traditional warfare techniques, to target them. They work in groups of five to six “elements” and each group is totally independent from the next group. Each has a general set of directives and most make their “plan d’action” as they go. This way, they are able to operate in the event of total loss of communication with the commanding base and there is no risk of anyone eavesdropping on conversations. And should anyone fall prisoner in the hands of the Israelis, he can only give out the plans of his group.

Each group travels using Cross bikes…this gives them flexibility as well as manageability on the terrain. Armed with light assault rifles and submachine guns and state of the art Chinese anti tank grenade propellers supplied by Iran, they are able to inflict severe damage to the opponent whilst sustaining minimal damage.

An example of how they operate can be given by the way they fire missiles, three bikes are used to perform the action:

One person stays at a distance providing surveillance and looking out for apache helicopters or spy planes One group, on a bike, set up the launcher platform, without the missile. Total time: 5 seconds and they drive off. One group delivers the missile and leaves. Total time 3 seconds. One group sets the missile, fires it and leaves. Total time 10 to 20 seconds. The first group comes back to collect the launch pad, if the observer informs them that all is clear, and replaces it in a subterranean hideout, to be used in the next operation. All the groups leave in totally different directions.

The bikes are also used to lure the tanks into ambushes set up for them by fighters hiding in tunnels. The same tunnels are used to move between villages undetected and be able to surprise the enemy which relies on aerial images of the fight zone.

This fighting technique has caused great damage to the Israelis in their advance in South Lebanon.

It was observed that the only way the Israelis can counter it is by applying the charred land approach whereby any incursion should be preceded by heavy bombardment of the region by fighter planes, followed by a fine combing using heavy machine guns and helicopters before the infantry troops finally walk in.

Since the guerilla fighters hide between civilians, and operate from within inhabited or industrial areas, they greatly benefit from the coverage and lure IAF planes into bombarding civilians and factories which allows the Hezb to use the media coverage to its benefit.

Israel has had to resort to expelling all the inhabitants of the region out of the area and even beyond the traditional headquarters of Hezbollah namely southern suburbs of Beirut so as to minimize civilian causalities as well as any supportive action the Party of God can benefit from.
