| Hezbollah target Israeli warship |
| 2006-07-14 |
| HEZBOLLAH chief Hassan Nasrallah said overnight that his Shiite movement's guerrillas had destroyed the Israeli warship which had struck his headquarters in the southern suburbs of Beirut. "Surprises will start from now. Now, off the coast of the sea, the warship which attacked... the southern suburbs... watch it burning and drowning," he said. Israeli police said two missiles fired from the southern suburbs of Beirut had targeted an Israeli warship off the coast of the Lebanese capital. |

| #11 The idea that the hezis navigated a UAV or missle out to an Israeli ship seems quesitonable to me. We will see. |

| #10 The only coast Jordan has is the Gulf of Aqaba - not much maneuvering room for a fleet. |

| #7 Anyone know what ships we have in the MED? My nephew is currently on a Med tour on the USS Ross (DDG 71). I don't know the timing, but Haifa was definitely a scheduled port-of-call. |

| #5 Not off the top of my head. I'd be willing to bet that there's a Carrier Battle Group lurking somewhere in the general area, though. Probably at flank speed now. |
