#1 If these 'civilians' are muzzies, then they are 'insurgents' and should be eliminated anyway.
The sooner we decide to kill them all, the sooner we end this World War Five bullshit.

#2 Several things come to mind...

1) Tyre's on the coast, so it is far more easily resupplied and reinforced than most places in Lebanon.

2) Israel knows where each and every rocket / missile comes from. As a professional military with all the tools, this isn't even remotely in doubt.

3) The range. Everything you need to know is on a map.

4) The missiles are definitely Syrian / Iranian sourced.

5) Hezb has many collaborators and sympathizers, but there are surely innocents among the populations of most (all?) cities.

6) Leaflet the place with notice of its impending destruction. Then follow through and level it or take the casualties of a Fallujah-style assault or cordon / search. In any case, it has to be cleaned - and kept clean - it's just too damned close to the border and, as said above, is too easily resupplied / reinforced.

This is a war. Bad shit happens to those on the wrong side. The facts of war supersede wishes and PC BS. Make it happen.

wxjames - are you coming unglued? This is the second comment today that suggests you are.

#3 wxjames, I like you, but you need to rein in the 'kill 'em all' comments. I've warned you before, there won't be a next time.

#4 #1 wxjames - if someone tries to kill my Muslim friends, you may be very surprised at who winds up dead.

Courtesy of my and my two friends, Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson.

Also courtesy of their friend Elizabeth, and her friend Mr. Remington.

NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE NUTS.

#5 Mobile launchers can be hidden and deployed anywhere. Destroyer those in Tyre poses the same problem that NATO had when they went after Serb tanks in Kosovo: Serbs could hide them in garages.

Again, unless Iran is taken out Israel will face future missile threats, with the entire country being the target. We need to take Newt Gingrich seriously when he says he is in World War 3. Hiroshima...Nagasaki...
