Over the past day, IDF infantry, armored and engineering forces operated in southern Lebanon. The forces positioned themselves in the areas of Mis el Jabal, Mahibab Blida, Shihin, Rajmil and Majdal Zun, in the eastern part of southern Lebanon.

Isn't it odd that there have been no videos of long lines of refugees (Lebanese)? Are the hezzabaloos keeping them from leaving (which would seem normal) or are they really putting their money where their mouths are and sticking with the terrorists?

There was a BBC Documentary John Kegan's Soldiers back in the mid 80's. They were interviewing a veteran of the WWI. In that typical understated British manner he calmly describes demolishing an entire village with four rounds of 8" howitzer. And finishes by saying "There is really nothing like the opening of a full scale barrage".

I'm not sure where this observation belongs so I figured I place it here. Please accept this "vanity comment" with some grace, thank you.
I have seen many references to those Jews who do not support Israel and have sold their souls to liberalism as JINO's (Jews in name only). I find this to be not entirely correct and think I have found a better acronym for these Jews. JeBBO (Jews by birth only) {also could be written JBBO if brevity is required}.
Thank you for the patience with this Freeper's little vanity comment.

"Israel captured five and killed 10 terrorists".

Dio, you don't have the lingo down yet. Terrorists are civilians(mostly women and children). Terrorists seldom die.

"what can we do to defeat the 5th column threads"?

I say lets embed them with the hezzies, coverage probably wouldn't change very much, if at all, though.

Does this power plant have some military value because of its location in the Bekaa Valley?
