1. IDF Hold the line boys and girls & G-d Bless You!
Kol HaKavod L'Tzahal ,   Israel   (07.23.12)
2. My government sounding off yet again
Sarh B (No not her)   (07.23.12)
Just what exactly are we going to do about the fighting within the 20,000 metre buffer zone? This government is ridiculous
3. Headline should read "Mortar shell falls..."
Scott ,   USA   (07.23.12)
Or "Shell explodes..." Mortars are tubes that fired on an upward trajectory. They fire shells, or "bombs" (if one uses the British terminology). Mortars do not explode, not unless someone does something stupid.
4. Should be no problem.

Golan belongs to syria, not the eastern-european jews.
5. Will he or won't he?
SD Charger ,   San Diego   (07.24.12)
The Arab League have offered Assad safe haven and asked him to step down. If he refuses and attempts to strike his people or Israel with a WMD, we may witness another use of a nuclear weapon in Syria. Isaiah 17 says Damascus will "fall in one night," certainly could be the result of a nuclear bomb to fulfill that prophecy.
6. Correction 4/Jim
David N. ,   Haifa   (07.24.12)
The Golan was in the Jewish area of the Mandate, and illegally removed by a secret Frecnh-British deal. It is filled with ancient Jewish remains, and in no way inherently "Syrian." Syria attacked Israel repeatedly, and by western standards, certain geographical defence advantages do pass to the attacked nation. Europe has always adhered to this. Now, my family was in Eastern Europe for a few centuries, Jim, but guess what? I also have been tested as having a significant genetic overlap with some of the Arab population here! You just don't like Jews, and probably believe all those "Kuzari" theories that Internet junkies thrive on.
7. WILL THE U.N. ABANDON THE DMZ IF ATTACKED? THEN WHAT?
ALBERTO   (07.24.12)
DO WE GET MT. HERMON BACK IN TOTO?
8. To: No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.24.12)
Well, thank you for the half-assed erector set and English usage lesson. Care to tackle the substantive nature of the report, or are you too busy playing with your G.I. Joe dolls? Moron!
9. Iran media,Kayhan, are calling for Assad to attack Israel.!!
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (07.24.12)
To take the heat off,unite the Arabs and divert attention from Assad. Kayhan is the regime mouthpiece.
