Israeli army flattening Hezbollah posts on border
2006-08-01
JERUSALEM - Israeli army bulldozers have begun flattening positions previously held by Hezbollah militia so as to create a security zone inside southern Lebanon, a military official said on Monday.

Sixty armoured bulldozers were ploughing areas north of the border, demolishing positions, bunkers and obstacles placed by Hezbollah since Israel withdrew from southern Lebanon in 2000, the official said. “Sixty D9s are cleaning a fire-zone of about one kilometre in depth and flattening Hezbollah armed positions,” he quoted Defence Minister Amir Peretz as saying during Sunday’s cabinet meeting.

The Israeli army said Sunday it aimed to establish a “security zone” along the southern Lebanese border by Wednesday. “By Wednesday we are going to establish a two-kilometer (one mile) wide “security zone’ in which there will be no infrastructure or sign of Hezbollah’s presence,” army operations chief General Gadi Eisenkaut told reporters.

#15  Good point, Oldcat, not to mention that the Hizb'allah rockets tend to land in the fields, destroying Gaia-preserving Nature, while Israeli missiles land on rocket launch sites, destroying ozone hole creating air conditioners. Truly, an epic battle between Gaia-protecting Israel and evil, Morlock Hizb'allah. We can only hope the Israelis stop Hizb'allah before they cause irreversable global warming. Al Gore must make another movie!

#14  But Hezzie terrorists are known Carbon emmitters, so its environmentally friendly to reduce their emmissions to zero.

#13  I don't think this is the time to be praising the use of Caterpillar equipment, what with Tony Blair and Arnold Schwarzenegger calling attention to the problem of global warming.

#8  It may seem that my comment was interrupted. Not so. It is simply open ended, to stimulate imagination. ;-)

Open ended, unlike the burial tunnels, twobyfour?

#1  There may be still Hezboys in some underground tunnels. But since the likelihood is that their exits are under buildings
