Azazello1313 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 israel is now officially very pissed, not only with the palestianians/hamas, but with lebanon/hezbollah/syria. i read a couple blog rumors that israel is set to declare WAR as soon as tonight. then just now i saw this article which seems to give that notion some credence... In a series of air strikes late Wednesday evening, IAF aircraft bombed Kfar Shuba and Sheba Farms in Lebanon. The communications infrastructure connecting Beirut to the south of the country was also damaged by IAF strikes. The strikes followed an attack by IAF warplanes and navy gunboats on a Palestinian terrorist base south of Beirut late Wednesday in the closest raid to the Lebanese capital since fighting erupted in southern Lebanon after the kidnapping of two IDF soldiers. Meanwhile, the names of four of the eight soldiers killed Wednesday in a Hizbullah attack on IDF forces patrolling the Lebanese border were released for publication Wednesday evening: Sgt. Nimrod Cohen, 19, from Mitzpe Shalem; Sgt.-Major Eyal Benin, 22, of Be'ersheba and Sgt.-Major Shani Turgeman, 24, of Beit Shean. All the soldiers' families have been notified. The fourth victim was later identified as Sergeant-Major Wasim Nazel, 27, from the Druze village of Kfar Yanouch. Earlier, Nazel's family was mistakenly informed that he had been kidnapped. All residents along Israel's northern border from Nahariya in the west to Kiryat Shmona in the east were ordered into bomb shelters on Wednesday night. "This is a new situation. The residents of Israel need to know that we are going into a period that would require resilience," Minister Issac Herzog said after the emergency cabinet meeting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert convened on Wednesday night in Tel Aviv in light of the events on the northern border. According to Herzog, Israel is holding Lebanon responsible for the attack, which was carried out from its territory. For a Jerusalem Online video of events click here OC Northern Command Maj.-Gen. Udi Adam said the IDF was preparing for a widespread operation not only against Hizbullah but also against the Lebanese government. The IDF, The Jerusalem Post learned, has drawn up plans to bomb main infrastructure, including power stations in Lebanon. "The IDF is responding with its full might by the air, the sea and the ground," Adam said. "We are also preparing for a massive operation to defend Israeli citizens and stop the terror."

Puddy Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I've got a 20 spot on Israel kickin' some ass. I've got a 20 that it doesn't end too quickly. The Israeli's are pretty much surrounded by enemies. This could get very ugly. Maybe Cliaz was right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Neutron Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Well, remember the last time they took on 3 enemies at once? They won rather handily...and quickly. I would not count on another Six Day War, but Israel is armed to the teeth out of necessity. I'm not sure any of the surrounding Arab states has what it would take to wage modern war with them, but they certainly have the will. Makes a fellow wonder what gas prices will do in the coming weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJoTheWebToedBoy Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Israel has one thing the others don't. A powerful, well trained Air Force. If it's one thing I have learned after all these years it's this: You can't win a modern day war without first controlling the sky. Even if you combined every single Arab country's Air Force it still would be defeated within the first day. Roll them tanks.... those armoured divisions. They will be toast.

When I think "Arabian Air Force" I have this vision of turbaned, scimitar-wielding bedouins zooming in on flying carpets and going "alalalalalalalalala!"
