1. Waist High Grass in Combat area?
Aaron ,   OZ   (08.10.06)
This is the greatest indication yet that the IDF has lost a lot of experience over the years. I see many pictures of people looking for ATGM teams & terrorists in waist-high grass. Why? Terrorists are very hard to spot in waist high grass, whereas they are comparitively simple to spot in burned out areas. Therefore burn the f*king grass, this has the added benefit of making any set ambushes move (especially those with explosives, who have an intense dislike of open flames), whilst it suffocates those in tunnels in that area. I believe Orde Wingate (et al) advocated similar measures in the same area 60+ years ago, what has changed?
2. Days will tell
Chris ,   LA   (08.10.06)
It seems that once again the Christians have problems with a political invader but no problems with a literal military invasion force. Probably Huzb Allah will appear in this sector soon enough...
3. Not so fast, IDF
Ahmad Abouali ,   Nablus   (08.10.06)
two weeks ago you claimed Bint Jbail, to learn later that it was not true. Now the same B.S is taking place! lets see how many dead soldiers would take before you learn of the second Zionist lie
4. Dont be so happy !
Ali ,   Leb   (08.10.06)
Hizballah will never try to stop you from advancing inside of the lebanese land ... But waiting for you! Thanks for coming !
5. Terrorists stealing each other's thunder
Robert Tilden ,   Sheridan, WY   (08.10.06)
Five weeks ago all eyes were on Gaza, but for the last month Hamas has been out staged by Hizbollah. Ask the Palestinians if this war in the north is helping them. There is only so much news that can be had and Hamas has been getting only a little here and there attention. Without attention they are forgotten. Now all we hear about is this terrorost bombing out of London. With all respect to Bairut, Britain and Boston take precedent. The attention is now off of Bairut. we will see how much pressure will be put on Israel now that Muslim terrorists once again have their targets on Europe.
6. IDF's True Objective In Marjyun Is All That Lebanese Hashish
Liz Barlett ,   St Louis, USA   (08.10.06)
They just wanna get high man, dat's all.
7. We come before You, Hashem.
Norway ,   With love of Norway   (08.10.06)
Protector and Redeemer of Israel. Bless the State of Israel. Shield her beneath the wings of Your love. Spread over her Your canopy of peace. Send Your Light and Your Truth to her leaders. Direct them with Your good counsel on behalf of Your People Israel. Unite their hearts to love and to revere Your Name. Bring them back to Your Torah. Strenghten the defenders of Your Holy Land. Protect them who stand guard over their Land and crown them with victory. May You cause their enemies who rise up against them, be struck down before them. May You protect and strenghten the captured Israeli soliders held in Gaza and Lebanon. May You speedily send the descendant of David Your righteous, anointed, to free them, who waits for Your help. May the whole House of Israel in all the lands of their dispersion, speedily walk upright to Zion to the City of Jerusalem, Your dwellingplace. Establish peace in the Land and everlasting joy for its inhabitants. Let all the world speedily know through your servants, that You - alone is the L*rd, the Most High over all the earth. Blessed are You, HaShem our G*d who hear our prayers Amen
8. IDF we support and love you!!!!!!!
dsa ,   ny, ny   (08.10.06)
9. IDF, the good will prevail
faith ,   ny, USA   (08.10.06)
we always do!! terrorists on here, your words and threats are meaningless, look at history and learn your lessons, you cannot ever get us down. NEVER!!!!!!
10. Stop ruining our world
Opie ,   The Free World   (08.10.06)
all the terrorists do are cause problems for everyone, why do we sit around and let them? do they have nothing better to do with the gift of life that was given to them than to ruin other's lives, ruin the planet earth, and disrupt the flow of life on earth? What a disgusting way to represent their people and the religion they claim guides their acts..
11. to # 8
rocco ,   uae   (08.10.06)
and we cry you............see you tonight,no acctually tomorrow coz your media will hide the number of IDF died of 2day!!
12. Zai eldrat albalat
Abu Arab ,   Nablus Falasteen   (08.10.06)
I am amazed at the frequency of these claims, if there is any truth from day 1 of this war to these claims, then israel is controlling most of the bordering villages in the area; we read similar wishful articles about ramoun alras, bint jbeil, adaseia,taybeh, etaroon and the list go on and on and on, where do you get this information from my 3 year old son does not believe your Fairytale stories any more its like what we say in Arabic (zai eldrat albalat) meaning like someone fart on tile a big boom thats it
13. # 1 is right on, napalm the ground
lone ranger ,   kansas   (08.10.06)
napalm the fields of battle before you enter a no brainer maybe it will explode some of the bunkers too
14. # 3 & # 4
(08.10.06)
SHUT YOUR filthy mouth !!!!
15. #3&4 Lesbollah's
Aaron ,   OZ   (08.10.06)
Dont get exited Kufr's, PBUH (the pederast) will make sure your virgins are waiting, and the IDF will save sufficient bullets with which to send you to him. I recall someone saying that the US forces were nowhere near Bagdhad, even though an M1 was firing in his direction from a bridge in the middle of town. Perhaps you would do well to listen to other media than your own? But, I am sure casualties will be announced in due time, after all their families will have to be notified first. Unlike Hizbollox, who don't announce any of their casualties, most of whom are listed as civilians.
16. Kansas
Human   (08.10.06)
#13 You r still talk about Napalm. That was in Vietnam. Do you want in Kansas
17. ya ahmad and ali
Nabil ,   Lebanon   (08.10.06)

18. TO 10, Opie
Chris ,   LA   (08.10.06)
The United States and other former powers have ruined more lives than Al Qaeda or any other group will ever manage to ruin...
19. headlines says "massive battles", meaning more dead??
Proud Grandpa ,   www.KingArik.net   (08.10.06)
why hold back information?
20. Very good point Aron... Olmert is what has changed.
Jeremiah ,   Israel, Jewish Land   (08.10.06)
He is being so overly restrained to the point where it is costing Israeli lives both on the battle field and at home. He's actions are perceived as weakness to our enemies and only continues to fule their fire. We should be napalming them and sending a very clear message that if you mess with Israel we'll eliminate you. He really needs to be replaced.
21. to #19, what "massive battles" mean
Visitor ,   from Palestine   (08.10.06)
Yes, you are right. Massive battles means: IDF reservists who didn't see their tanks and guns for years get badly beaten up by die hard hezbolla soldiers who know very well what they do and why. More reservists = more targets, of course. This leads us to a nice name for the whole operation, call ist: "Operation Reinforced Failure" Regards Visitor
22. Cycle of death to continue!!
Ron Levy ,   Tel Aviv   (08.10.06)
Telling people to shut their mouths, can't you handle the truth boy, what will open tomorrows article will be Authorised for Publication.......15 more israeli soldiers dead. Our sons and fathers are dying out there, and you juvinille boys are glorifying war, none of you know what war is, neither do our young israeli army. We need peace, and negotiations, death and destruction only creates a cycle of death and destruction. Ron
23. To Nabil # 10
peter ,   paris   (08.10.06)
You are a disgrace to your people, persons like you should charged of high treason and executed. Your people are being killed by a foreign army, which has been killing you & your christians bothers ( remember the chouf etc shmuck) for ages, and all what you can do is to encourage them to go on with the aggression, to laugh at people who are defending & supporting you country while being destroyed. Whre is you patriotism & logic & humanity. SHAME ON YOU, tfeh
24. Nabil Kol Khara!
Ali ,   Lebanon   (08.10.06)
25. To Nabil from Ali - You are fake !
Ali ,   Leb   (08.10.06)
Amazing that someone like you is saying that IDF is humilating hizballah when IDF themselves are talking otherwise. however, truth will be revealed verysoon. Just stay tune.
26. today: 13 Mercava destroyed and 14 are withdrawing !
Ali ,   Leb   (08.10.06)
I am sure will be annouced soon on Ynet.
27. to 19 - what are you so proud of
aaron ,   ra'anana   (08.10.06)
why not come out and admit you are azmi bishara
28. To #18
Grabs ,   Stomyn   (08.10.06)
Dude, you are so right! Down with the US! Go to the great country North Korea where Dear Leader comrade Kim Jong-il, the lodestar of the century, who never hurt even a little birdy, leads his flock towards better future! And feed on grass, dude! 'cause there's nothing else to eat there. If you're eating lobsters in the US though, stop defecating where you eat.
29. To # 22, Ron
Peter ,   Paris   (08.10.06)
Negotiations is the only way to achieve peace in this region. IDF soldiers & innocent Lebanese are dying for nothing, except for the political recuperation by some unhumane, war mongering political figures Thank God there are people like you in Isreal, that are not blinded by the government propaganda and their utter lies.
30. Well said Peter !
Ali ,   Leb   (08.10.06)
