Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Nasrallah threatens Tel Aviv from hidey hole
2006-08-03
Hezbollah's leader offered Thursday to stop rocket attacks on northern Israel in return for an end to airstrikes throughout Lebanon.
Another hudna? Logistics about to give out? Running out of rocket launchers or room to maneuver?
However, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah also vowed to fire rockets into Tel Aviv if Israel strikes Beirut proper. Israeli warplanes have repeatedly bombarded Hezbollah strongholds in southern suburbs of Beirut. "If you bomb our capital Beirut, we will bomb the capital of your usurping entity... We will bomb Tel Aviv," he said in a taped televised speech.
Aha! The old "trying to get something for nothing" ploy. Try it and your launchers will disappear. Takes too long to bug out after you fire. Your threats are meaningless! Hahahahaha!
In issuing the threat while looking nervously over his shoulder, Nasrallah offered his first opening toward diminishing the three-week-old conflict, which has taken more than 500 Lebanese lives and killed more than 50 Israelis. "Anytime you decide to stop your campaign against our cities, villages, civilians and infrastructure, we will not fire rockets on any Israeli settlement or city," he said.
What are you going to do instead, fight on the ground?
In his statement, Nasrallah also said his fighters have inflicted "maximum casualties" on Israeli ground troops and that his guerrillas are "fighting until the last breath and last bullet."
"Hassan, we will defend you with our blood!"
Does Israel have this guy on the payroll or something? Thanks for the info and show of desperation.

Israel AF just bombed Beiruit.

"Go ahead punk, make my day..."

If Tel Aviv is bothered by missiles, then Damascus is history, and the magic mulla glow-in-the-dark joy juice is too...No more nuke facilities... I hope anyway...

#1  Guerillas protecting territory is in invitation for a real military force to slaughter them wholesale. It's just not what they're set up for.
