Sarge Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Here we go. Couple of things I found interesting. Why threaten this now after Beruit has been getting schwacked for a couple of weeks now Notice how the terrorist refers to Beruit as "our capitol"? http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3285976,00.html Nasrallah: We'll bomb Tel Aviv if Beirut attacked In TV address, Hizbullah leader says terror group will respond to next Israeli strike in Beirut with rockets on Tel Aviv; Israel responds: Lebanese infrastructure will be destroyed if Tel Aviv is hit Roee Nahmias Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah threatened to bomb Tel Aviv during a TV address Thursday night, should Israel attack in Beirut. "If you indeed do this, I say this clearly. I won't use terms I used up to now, past Haifa, but I will say clearly and in a way that is not open to interpretation: If you bomb our capital we'll bomb your capital. We'll bomb Tel Aviv and we can do this." A senior Israeli defense source told Israel's Channel 1 that Israel will destroy Lebanon's infrastructure if Hizbullah fires rockets at Tel Aviv. During the speech, which was aired on al-Manar TV, Nasrallah discussed the 'importance' of ground battles by Hizbullah members against IDF units: "We are fighting against very heavy pressure and are fighting battles of heroism across the whole front." He added that his organization had many anti-tank weapons. Nasrallah branded Prime Minister Ehud Olmert a "fool" for "declaring a victory too early." "He wants to look like (Ariel) Sharon, (Yitzhak) Rabin, and (Menachem) Begin. Ask him where the accomplishments are that he promised you," Nasrallah said. He added that he was following Israeli analysts. Nasrallah mocked the commando raid in Baalbek: "There were two landings near Baalbek and not in the heart of Baalbek. They stormed a hospital and threw a grenade. Pay attention to the great gain, to search for injured fighters who they didn’t capture during the battle. They weren't there, they kidnapped five civilians and they are hostages. This is intelligence, this is the Mossad?" Nasrallah added, "We all remember the heroic battles. There are tens of thousands of Israeli soldiers in the field and many tanks with them. They are facing soldiers standing with bravery and stopping the advance. The battle is still going on in front positions and it surprised the Zionists. The Israelis come to enter a village, so that Hizbullah fighters will run away, but up to now – the fighters remained to battle in the villages until the last bullet. Israel was surprised by the human factor. They are fighting against men willing to sacrifice." This was Nasrallah's eighth television appearance since the kidnapping of soldiers on the northern border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I know they've up'd their missles the past few days. But, I hope they'll run out soon. Just goes to show this is the front line against Terror. Hopefully the right steps are taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanCollins Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 They probably will. I was randomly listening to a radio program today about war crimes and hitting civilian targets intentionaly or unintentionaly. Of course it always strikes me as funny how the west (and it's allies) are expected to play by the rules while the others do as they please. the ironic part of it is that those breaking the rules (hitting civilian targets, using human sheilds) are the ones doing the complaining.

Destino Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 One thing that concerns me is that I'm not convinced the terrorist want Israel to stop. If hezbollah is indeed a Iran and Syria controlled group then wouldn't it be in their interest to have this war escalate to include many more civilian deaths? After all that type of response will raise support in the arab nation for hezbollah. Also the Lebanese government isn't as extremist and likely isn't favored by Iran and Syria to begin with.

WeownU Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 What, they've been holding back all this time? I agree. I'm not so sure Hezbollah has the power to reach tel aviv. I would've thought they would have done it by now if they could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine how it is you came up with that. If captured those terrorists that you think are allowed to do as they please will face war crimes or terrorist charges. How is that allowing them to do what they please - I certainly don't see any Israeli soldiers being detained and put on trial? It seems that you are confusing opinions with reality. The reality is pretty clear, the terrorists are not allowed to do what they are doing and face death or trial if found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zguy28 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I know what the ultimate reprisal would be from Israel. Blow up the Dome of the Rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 What, they've been holding back all this time? They are starting to sound like that nut from iraq that was claiming to have destroyed 50... no no 500 tanks today! lol They are criminals with somewhat expensive guns, little more. When they face a real military they stand no chance at all and everyone knows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I think Iran/Syria are using Hezbollah to drum up support in the region. They want Israel to pound back, maybe even wipe them out as a Martyr. Then "rally" the region the best they can, to take control of the areas that aren't stable.

AlexRS Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 By the way, there appears to be a lot of people burning Israeli flags nowadays... this got me thinking - there must be an Israeli company making a nice profit manufacturing and selling all these flags... The irony!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good point. Let's hope it doesn't turn out that way. I agree. I'm not so sure Hezbollah has the power to reach tel aviv. I would've thought they would have done it by now if they could. That's pretty much my thought as well. If they do have missiles, they probably came from a kid's meal in downtown Beirut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they mentioned something about this in Jerusalem Post (www.jpost.com)... Short range missles are supposedly from Syria, while missles that can reach Tel Aviv are from Iran. Alledgedly Iran has not given Hizbollah a green light to launch those yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanCollins Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Why? Just to prove Hezbollah right? The leboneeze that live in Beirut support Hezbollah and thier actions, hiding them and acting as shields for them. So colectively they're at war with Isreal and targeting civilians, threatening to target more civilians with random rockets at bigger cities. If you can't separate them, let God sort them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air Force Cane Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Maybe because he is talking about the "center" of Beirut versus the southern suburbs? Not that it matters much- there are now about 11,000 IDF troops all over southern Lebanon- they need to send an armored task force into the Bekaa..

Oh well, they had a year to weed out Hesbollah and didn't do it. Kill em all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
