#1 The chief of staff told cabinet ministers that according to the IDF directive, troops were permitted to fire in the air and then at the legs of those hurling rocks in their direction. In addition, in the event that the troops sensed that they were in real danger they were granted permission to shoot to kill.

All good news. The IDF must not have its hands tied on the battlefield.

#3 Are we certain that the "Hezbullah" stone throwers are not merely zionist entity agents in mufti causing provocations?

Borgboy sez you gotta learn how to think like your enemy...without going nuts in the process. :)

#5 They conveniently left out which weapons they could and could not use.

Hey Joe, swing the M2 around for the "warning shot"

#6 Shotgun rounds for the M203 gernade launcher would be handy in a situation like this. That, or the flechette rounds.

#7 If they actually do it you would think that it would put a serious damper on the Paleostinians' national sport and favorite pasttime.

Warning shot should be a rock thrown back over their heads (try at least). Then whip out the Merkava main gun and watch 'em scatter. Shouldn't take more than a few shots with that bad boy!

#8 They ought to shoot these 'stone throwers' with paint ball guns with 'skunk filled' paintballs.

Let them walk around stinking to high heaven....

#10 IDF Trooper: "I have 15 confirmed Hezbollah kills."

MSM reporter: "Does that figure include women and children?"

IDF Trooper: "Yes, if they throw stones at us, we shoot back."

MSM Reporter: "How can you shoot at women and children?"

IDF Trooper: "Easy. You just don't lead them so much."
