Lebanese troops patrol the outskirts of the Palestinian refugee camp of Nahr al-Bared in northern Lebanon. Deadly firefights in a Palestinian camp in south Lebanon and a bus bombing in the capital opened new fronts for the army on Monday as it battles to crush an Al-Qaeda-inspired militia in a 16-day standoff in the north of the country.(AFP/Ramzi Haidar)

Geez, Gaza, West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, it doesn't seem to matter where they are, the old adage about Palis just seems to ring true: "Does not play well with others."

it was probably just a joke.

This is a classical operation against a built-up area (MOUT).
The built-up zone is centered at 34deg 30min 48sec North and 35deg 57min 49sec East in Google Earth. The picture posted by NYer shows the straight two-lane hiway going south west-North east to the east of this built-up area. Watch the civilian traffic on the picture, isn’t this amazing so close to the combat area?
