| Heavy Fighting in Southern Lebanon |
| 2006-08-01 |
| (IsraelNN.com) Harsh fighting is taking place between IDF soldiers and Hizbullah fighters in the southern Lebanon town of Ayat al-Ashad. Hizbullah members have been firing barrages of anti-tank missiles and there are reports of injuries on both sides. IDF ground activities have been increased following a security-cabinet decision Monday night. Preliminary: Katyusha Missiles Fall Near Metullah (IsraelNN.com) Katusha missiles fell in Metullah and the surrounding areas Tuesday at noon. Mortar shells were fired during the night and again Tuesday morning at the western Galilee. No injuries were reported. Updated Instructions For Northern Residents (IsraelNN.com) Residents of the north, living north of the Acco-Tzfat road are being instructed to remain in their bomb shelters and safe-rooms by the IDF Home Front Command. Those with shelters in their places of work are being told they are allowed to return to work. In Haifa, the Carmelit subway will run free of charge for the foreseeable future, according to Israel Radio. In all of the cities hit by missiles in the recent weeks, parking tickets are no longer distributed. |

| #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. |

| #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. |

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