#1 Great news, the cops have something better to do than give parking tickets. So much for the 48 hour cease fire.

#2 Hizbullah members have been firing barrages of anti-tank missiles and there are reports of injuries on both sides

from memory.

recall '73 Sinai; ~~open dessert~~ battle grounds were cris-crossed with USSR Sagger anti tank wires and littered with knocked out IDF tanks.. solution bring up IDF ARTY and kill Egyptian anti-tank missile teams.

from reports.. Hizzies are ~~dug in~~ which protects them to a greater degree..BUT lots of accurate Arty, Air and sniper fire will still get the job done

#4 Bringing back memories of studies on the 73 war. I read the wires were so thick ground vehicles had issues with the wires and rotary winged aircraft had problens also.

#6 What I bet is taking place is that the Iranians have organized the Hezbollah into units, with three or four Iranian zampolit-style managers. Then they goad the Hezbollah to attack the Israelis in the stupidest possible ways.

The Iranian leadership probably wants to maximize destruction of Lebanese towns, and it figures that it can use its expendable pawns in urban combat to inflict the most casualties on the Israelis, even if Hezbollah takes it in the shorts.

#7 Look for Hezbollah to take down the Lebanese government if they are not destroyed by Israel. Hezbollah takeover means Syrian and Iranian control and a firm base to attack Israel.
