      I checked the maps and these rockets area still hitting areas that are not as far as Haifa...so they haven't launched any longer ones yet. Praise the Lord!

        Hizbullah Used Civilians, Mosques in Attack on IDF
        07:01 Jul 27, '06 / 2 Av 5766
        by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

        Hizbullah stored ammunition and weapons in mosques, knowing that the IDF does not attack religious sites. Civilians were not allowed so that Hizbullah could use them as cover. IDF officers said they ordered pilots not to strafe Bint Jbiel in order to spare civilian casualties
        Given the fact that Israel is experiencing a high level of IDF deaths and injuries I highly suspect that this policy is about to altered for the remainder of this war....

          Given the immense damage to infrastructure (I doubt that hizbullah cares that much about the death toll), it seems like they would be using those longer range, larger missiles already if they had them. Any thoughts on why they would not have used them yet if they have them?

          Issachar
          The church is on Earth to save souls from a lost world, not to save the world from lost souls.

          Man learns about history, not from history. To learn from history requires wisdom. Cut off from God, he has none, so history repeats; no new thing under the sun.

          I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken - dylan

          Psalms 122:8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

            I think that it is possible that the missiles may have been destroyed by
            the air attacks, if not if they use them it will be when they are on the
            verge of destruction(if there not already), so they can go out in a
            blaze of glory and also maybe bring Syria into the fight.

              Everything I have read points to Hezbollah actually having a series of longer range missiles - in fact the IDF says that they have managed to destroy a number of them already.

              As to why no use so far, I would guess that their use requires the ok from Syria, if not also Iran - and they may be holding back for the opportune time for maximum PR impact?

              Right now Hezbollah is making good PR in the arab / musdlim street just based on the very tough fight they are giving to Israel in hand-to-hand combat in South Lebanon.

              Plus is was only yesterday that they managed to fire the greatest number of rockets todate into Israel - something like 140?

                Re: Israel VS Hizbullah Part VI

                I just received word from the Galil Report (I can't copy/paste out here) that Egypt is reporting delivery of 3000 more rockets from Iran to Hezbullah.

                The transfer included:
                Katyusha
                Several kinds of anti-aircraft missiles
                Anti-tank missiles
                Farj-3 and 5 rockets
                Zalzel missiles (the longest range, capable of reaching Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, etc (about 125 mile range)
                Several Silkwork C-802 anti-ship missiles - the kind that severely damaged one Israeli warship a couple weeks ago...and for which there is nearly no defense.

                They estimate this could give the Bullies another full month of attacks...provided, of course, Israel doesn't find them and blow them sky-high.

                  3 reserve divisions to be called up

                  Headline at JPO - no details...

                  http://www.jpost.com/

                  Note: An Israeli army division normally comprises about 5,000 soldiers and 100 tanks and other armoured vehicles -so they are talking about 15,000 more troops -

                  Frankly I don't see an ending any time very soon - especially if Israel continues on their announced path of conducting only so called "pin-prick" raids into Lebanon..?

                  If they are hoping to be rescused by some new robust international force they may be waiting a long time?

                    Analyst says terrorist group's TV network losing confident tone

                    http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/ar...TICLE_ID=51257


                    WASHINGTON – The tone of broadcasts from Hezbollah's Al-Manar television network has turned increasingly unsettled over the last few days, with members of the Lebanese terror group appearing to prepare the audience for military setbacks, according to a report released yesterday by an Arabic communications expert.

                    "The mood of the broadcasts has been growing marginally darker for three to four days … and there was a more dramatic change starting Tuesday night," said Michael Widlanski, an Arabic-language translator and analyst, and a professor at the Rothberg International School of Hebrew University.

                    ....The new broadcasts coincided with reports Hezbollah has lost control of its strategic southern base at Bint Jbail – an area described by the Israeli military as a "Hezbollah capital" – and has suffered dozens of fighters killed or captured, some of them high-ranking, although the terror group also killed eight Israeli troops in an ambush.

                    .....Uncharacteristically for Al-Manar, Akhtai prefaced his comments with a eulogy to "those heroes who have become martyrs in the defense of Lebanon."

                    Wildanski's report termed the new tone "a stark departure for Hezbollah, which has until now admitted to almost no battlefield deaths or injuries."


                    Hezbollah asking for help

                    Wildanski's notes Al-Manar has been petitioning Arab countries for help.

                    States the report: "Another sign of definite internal Hezbollah weakness and even panic was the growing tendency [the past few days] of Hezbollah commentators and talk show hosts to place blame on Arab governments for not coming to the aid of Hezbollah. 'Where are the Arabs?' one TV host asked an Egyptian military expert."

                    On Tuesday, after Hezbollah's standard political commentaries, the group's leader Hassan Nasrallah appeared on television, and there were several noticeable discrepancies from his usual appearances, notes Widlanski.

                    According to the media analyst, Nasrallah seemed tired and slightly preoccupied. His presentation was not confident and almost fumbling, said Widlanski, and he was reading from a prepared text instead of delivering his usual extemporaneous remarks.

                    "The content of his speech is also important," said Widlanski. "Nasrallah essentially wanted help from surrounding Arab countries. In other words, he prepared a written request for help ahead of time so that he could read it aloud on TV.

                    As posted earlier there are now reports of Nasrallah dressed as a western civilian being in Damascus to meet with both Syrian and Iranian "masters"....

                    Rush's comment was that to him this was yet a further indication that things were going badly, and the Damascus meeting was meant to rake Nasrallah over the coals....?

                        22:09 Lebanese health minister: Up to 600 civilians killed in IDF offensive (AP)

                        www.haaretz.com

                        Certainly I pray each day that children and all "innocents" on both sides will be spared....

                        ...however this latest claim of 600 killed is a jump of about 300 in less than 48 hours???

                        I'm hearing of some of the lame-stream media "spilling the beans" with their comments about meeting and speaking with Hezbollah in Beruit, and elsewhere that are all dressed in western civies - base-ball caps, no beards, etc and that they look just like every one else...

                        Also hearing that many of the women and children killed are the families of Hezbollah fighters that keep them in the battle zone....

                          Dressing in civilian garb, using mosques and people as shields--the word that comes to mind is "cowards".

                            update - 02:27 28/07/2006

                            The Israel Air Force on Thursday scored a successful direct hit against Hezbollah's missile command center deployed in Tyre, which has been primarily responsible for targeting Haifa and its surroundings. The regional command center was located on the 12th floor of a Tyre building that the IAF destroyed

                              IAF warplanes pounded 130 targets in Lebanon on Friday, including a Hizbullah base in the Bekaa Valley where long-range rockets were stored, 57 Hezbollah structures, six missile launching sites and six communication facilities.

                              At least three people were killed and nine were wounded in the strikes, officials said.

                                Hizbullah steps up attacks - new longer range missiles:

                                Police officials said that on Friday noon Hizbullah fired at Israel, for the first time since the fighting in the north began, five long-range missiles carrying a greater amount of explosives than the Pajar rockets of the type that has been fired so far.

                                The missiles landed in open areas near Afula and in the area between Afula and Beit Shean. No injuries were reported in the attack.

                                Ynet has learned that some of the rockets fired in the barrages on the Western Galilee on Thursday included 220 millimeter-diameter rockets. Up until now Hizbullah had launched these rockets only at Haifa.

                                IAF hits launcher used for firing rockets at Afula

                                The Israeli Air Force reported it had struck the launcher used for firing the long-range rockets at Afula.

                                According to the report, the rockets were apparently Pajar type rockets. No injuries were reported in the attack. (Hanan Greenberg)

                                To me the fact that Hezbollah is going to longer range weapons is a good sign that they are being driven back - likewise these longer range weapons take more equipment and effort to set-up, launch and fire - and are more easily tracked by Israeli radar - thus payback comes quickly.
