Israel: Almost Finished With Hezbollah
Yes, that was the comments from the IDF today in the Jerusalem Post:
IAF planes on Tuesday night showered southern Lebanon with flyers making fun of Hizbullah head Hassan Nasrallah and calling on him to come out of hiding.
"Where are you hiding?" the flyers read in a mocking tone.
Earlier Tuesday, The Jerusalem Post learned that 40 to 50 percent of Hizbullah's military capability has been destroyed in the six days of the IDF counter-attack following last Wednesday's Hizbullah raid in northern Israel.
The IDF, it is understood, believes it needs at least another week or so to achieve its military goals in terms of removing Hizbullah's capacity to threaten Israel.
The IDF further believes, it is understood, that it will be given at least that long to continue its actions, in light of the G8 nations' essential support for Israel and those nations' branding Hizbullah and Hamas as being responsible for the current escalation.
Operations in Lebanon, the Post has learned, are costing Israel NIS 50-100 million a day.
The IAF reported that it hit 52 targets in Lebanon during Tuesday.
Only Tuesday afternoon, IAF aircraft attacked two weapons-filled trucks parked on the coastal road in the town of Byblos, north of Beirut. They also hit two similar trucks on the narrow mountain road between Beirut and Syria, which has become the main route to Damascus since the air attacks made the highway unusable.
The IAF has recently begun targeting vehicles in Lebanon it suspects of transporting missiles for Hizbullah.
Television showed pictures of one truck on fire and another damaged on the mountain road. One driver was reported wounded.
In other attacks Tuesday, IAF jets carried out two raids on southern Beirut - where Hizbullah is known to occupy many buildings - and the eastern city of Baalbek.
Talk about a "six-day" war. Hezbollah is almost finished in Lebanon, at least when it comes to rockets hitting Israel. One more week--a total of fourteen days--and Israel is all done. This has to bring a smile to many faces, and that includes our own. The president knows Israel is doing the world a favor, as do the others at the G-8 conference. Hezbollah is not excused from being targeted in this War on Terror; whether it is ours, or Israel as they defend themselves.
Hopefully this serves as a warning to others in the region--namely Iran and Syria--that they aren't to be trifled with. When you play games like this with Israel, you're playing with fire, and they have learned what it feels like to truly be burned.
