Excerpt -

TYRE, Lebanon (CNN) -- Israeli jets, helicopters and naval commandos Saturday attacked targets in the southern Lebanese city of Tyre in an operation aimed at quelling Hezbollah rocket launches.

The attack was aimed at the unit responsible for Hezbollah's rocket attack on Hadera, Israel, on Friday, The Associated Press reported.

The Hadera attack was the deepest a Hezbollah missile has penetrated Israel.

A senior Israeli naval officer told AP that commandos fought Hezbollah fighters in close quarters in a Tyre building and hit two or three targeted Hezbollah commanders.

Six or seven others were hit with return fire as the Israelis withdrew from the building, the officer told AP. He said the mission was "very successful."

Israeli SEALs. They're very good in executing these kinds of operations.

Waste the death-cult mofos! They want to meet allah, then help them!

The real prize will be to snatch and grab some of the Iranians who are guiding the launches of the more sophisticated missiles. Debrief the Iranians then put them on TV

At least biased CNN is on live. FOX has reruns on except for newsbreaks.

[Inge_CAV]

Scratch that, now both CNN and FOX have reruns.

[HAL9000]

BBC America has live news right now.

[Inge_CAV]

Is BBC America on cable tv?

[HAL9000]

BBC America is on DirecTV, Dish Network, and several cable systems. If nothing else is on live, it's worth a look. I'm also watching CNN International on the Internet, it has live news on now.

The regular CNN, MSNBC and Fox News channels are mostly useless after midnight.

YEAH! Lot happened after I went to sleep. Thanks, Hal9000, you're on the job!

The BBC had these details, and even the al-Jazeera account quoted the Israelis to the effect that the raid was done (rather than a counterstrike by air) to minimize civilian casualties.

"Israel said eight soldiers were wounded in the operation, two seriously. It said a number of Hezbollah militants were killed and several rocket-launchers destroyed."

Is it safe to say that Tyre is flat? (rimshot)

[SunkenCiv]

Oh, I think the air is apparent. [rimshot!]
