| Israeli forces mock raids over Lebanon |
| 2004-12-29 |
| Israel air forces staged mock raids over south Lebanon Wednesday, breaking the sound barrier and causing panic, according to security sources. Israeli warplanes flew at low altitude over villages in south Lebanon as well as inland regions where anti-aircraft guns are manned by Hezbollah resistance movement and the Lebanese army. However, it hasn't been confirmed yet whether the gunners opened up on the intruding planes. Israel has violated Lebanese air space several times since it pulled out its forces from south Lebanon in 2000. |

| #4 I'm not so sure they're outta physical range. Up til now they've been out of willful political range - chance of wider war with Syria, et al... those days are over. Who doesn't see Syria as an weakass, isolated, scared, resort for Baathists and recalcitrant terrorists? |

| #3 Hezbollah maintains a very, very large artillery park in Lebanon, which the IAF have been aware of, but which is apparently out of range of Israel's norther border. This 'knife' at Israel needs to be dealt with in any case. |

| #1 I bet those who were intended to get the message didn't. It would be wonderful if they did. Face it Hexbollah is just the surogate army of Iran in Lebonon. It's continued existance and the refusal of Lebanon or Syria to do anyting about it means at some point the IDF will. |
