| Nasrallah Will Give Tel Aviv Residents One Hour to Flee | |
| 2006-07-19 | |
Arab press sources close to the Hizbullah say that residents of Tel Aviv will be given one hour to flee before the terrorist group launches a barrage of missiles at the city. The unnamed sources are quoted by the Palestinian Authority-based news agency Ma'an as saying:"The Lebanese resistance is preparing a retaliation parallel to Israel's military actions. Hassan Nasrallah will address the people of Tel Aviv and warn them to evacuate the city within one hour. As soon as the delay ends, hundreds of heavy missiles will start landing in the city, which has been divided into squares in order to let damage reach every inch of the city. An estimated 500 missiles are expected to land in Tel Aviv in a short period of time." The Arab sources further said that the Hizbullah has been very careful in cultivating its public image, in order to increase the surprise effect of the planned barrage on Tel Aviv.
The war, from the perspective of Nasrallah, has not yet begun, the sources said, adding that other "surprises" planned by the Hizbullah include more kidnappings of Israeli soldiers from along the Lebanese border. Also claiming to have "surprises" in store for Israel is the Gaza-based Islamic Jihad. On Tuesday night, the terrorist organization claimed to have fired a Katyusha rocket at Sderot. The Katyusha is a more deadly rocket than the Kassam, and is being deployed against Israel in the north of the country by the Hizbullah. | |

| #15 On topic, NPR is telling the world tonight (or at least that part that still listens to them) that it was a Hizb'Allah bomb that killed the little Palestinian children. *snicker* |

| #14 Given that they were Hamas rockets that killed Palestinian children, would their deaths count under the heading of suicide bomb[ee]s? |

| #12 I would sure like to see a squadron of BUFFS from Diego Garcia head for Syria and take the Syrians out of the fight. Then Hizb'Allah would be cut off from their backers and resupply. They would fold fast. [/wishful thinking and common sense] |

| #11 Jerusalem Post "Two brothers, three year-old Muhammad Taluzi and nine-year-old Rabiya Taluzi, were killed on Wednesday evening when several Katyusha rockets fell on the Arab Israeli town of Nazareth. " Muslims, then. |

| #10 dresden - dont know. Nazareth is (not surprisingly) heavily Christian, but it has a large (and vocal) muslim minority. Some big to do about land for a mosque, or church, or something, some years ago, that got the national Israeli authorities involved, and was quite embarassing all around. AFAIK most if not all of the muslims there would be Sunni. Though there are plenty of Druze in the region. |

| #9 Drudge has the AP link Previous attacks during the recent rocket barrage have hit the nearby Jewish town of Upper Nazareth, but the wave fired Wednesday was the first to hit a holy city. I think it's past time that all communities in Israel be labelled holy, too. |

| #8 Screw them. Load up the F-15s with 12,000 lbs of bombs and carpet bomb. |

| #6 If this is true, this war will be over quick, as well as many of our problems right after Isreal's retaliation. |

| #5 IDF, please just nuke the bastards and lets get it started and over with. |

| #4 There's got to be at least 5000 Marines in the area. Bet they would be willing to help. |

| #3 Israel needs to ask it's allies for help and declare war on Syria and Iran so long as they support Hezbollah with weapons, money, or safe passage. We need to get in this fight if we are serious about our war against radical Islam. It is already clear that other Arab countries will not join Hezbollah in this renagade war. Israel, India, Thailand, UK, USA, Australia, Nigeria, and many other, mostly Islamic countries should make it clear who the enemy is and why. Those clinging to Islam who believe they can escape this warfare will have to make adjustments to avoid be dragged into certain destruction. Why doesn't this alliance form immediately ? |

| #1 flash per Jerusalem Post, Hezb rockets have hit Nazereth, where 3 arabs, including 2 children were killed. Presumably they were aiming for the nearby Jewish town of Upper Nazareth. |
