1. The Sequence
(07.16.09)
1. ready 2. aim at Israel 3. fire 4. repeat steps 1-3.
2. forget hezbollah, the real croiminal is the UN
Izzie ,   usa   (07.16.09)
Hezbollah bombs stored at the boarder, gee what a surprise ... right .. the real issue here are the jokes from the UN that by their mere presance give shelter to hezbollah, then when they are caught sleeping they let Hezbollah and its Lebaneese Army cronies, control the area. What a Total Joke. Of course, lebanon will run back to the UN and claim they were fireworks, and they go, Oh we see, of course they were. But let the truth be told, next time Hezbollah acts up, its Beriut that will be the target.
3. not usual routine of using caves & bankers outside villages
observer   (07.16.09)
That's just a cover-up of several Israel's incursions. On at least three occasions in the past two months, Israeli commandos have entered Lebanese territory to help Lebanese accused of spying for Israel escape across the border. In another incident, an accused spy was able to use the mostly dormant international border crossing in Naqoura to escape into Israel. Unifil requires that any Lebanese citizens attempting to enter Israel illegally through that border be returned to Lebanon’s security services. As none of the people who have crossed over the border – in several cases with their families – have been repatriated by Israel, it is seen as a tacit admission by Israel that the suspects were, in fact, employed by Israeli intelligence services.
4. So, it was Hezbollah weapons depot, Israel has stricken it
observer   (07.16.09)
thus Israel is risking lives of innocent villagers.
5. There is no report. Hesbala would not let UNFiL in
Rebecca ,   Modiin   (07.16.09)
As per previous articles, Hesbala would not let the Lebanese army or UNFIL onto the site. So any report the UN has is a whitewash.
6. #4 idiot
(07.16.09)
read the article again. ISRAEL DID NOT STRIKE THIS WEAPONS' DEPOT. IT EXPLODED WITHOUT ANY ISRAELI INVOLVEMENT. IT EXPLODED ON ITS OWN.....MAYBE A WORK ACCIDENT? LIKE ALL THE EXPLOSIONS IN GAZA OF MANY WEAPONS' STOREHOUSES???? KILLING PEOPLE AROUND THEM AND THEN BLAMING ISRAEL FOR THE EXPLOSION??? israel was not involved.
7. Israel is no position to demand anything
Hezbollah ,   Lebanon   (07.16.09)
The weapons were ours, so what are you going to do about it? All you can do is whine and complain to the U.N
8. #7
(07.17.09)
did you happen to see gaza lately??? this is what will happen to you as well. we learned from 2006. we are ready!
9. #3 - tacit admission or humanitarian action
William ,   Israel   (07.17.09)
It isn't a secret that a mere rumor can cost someone in an Arab country their life, and the lives of their family. We see it routinely in honor killings, rumors of being a collaborator, political turf wars, all met with lynchings without a decent trial. These men don't have to be spies to be allowed to enter Israel. Once accused by Hizbullah, whether true or false, they now hold the title of asylum seeker just like the Sudanese refugees escaping death by crossing into Israel from the Sinai.
10. #4 - SO you condone the use of human shields?
William ,   Israel   (07.17.09)
Rather than hold Hizbullah accountable, you insist that targeting it would kill civilians - aiding Arab terrorists in using human shields deliberately. That's a massive war crime which apparently you approve of.
11. U.N. Is Bias
USABorn   (07.17.09)
Hezbollah is another cowardly group. They are afraid to declare war on Israel and fight. They bomb and run and hide behind citizens all in the name of some god. Israel is ready to fight and the real God promises their victory.
12. the fool called 7
Izzie ,   USA   (07.17.09)
Israel whine, surely you gest. Its your broken down, terrorist infiltrated government that runs to the UN whining about Israeli flyovers that you can't do a thing to stop. Get real pal, the only reason Beriut doesn't look like Gaza is because we Jews spared your Christain and Druze citizens from total destruction. We could have wiped out your entire infrastraucture. then you would be writing these stupid notes in the dark hooked up to a battery. if Hezbollah lets you have one. And If you pull another stunt like firng a rocket or crossing the boarder, you will find out what the IDF can do. As for your rockets, we will see how many you fire when Beruit is in flames and you have a revolution on your hands. Give up the hashish.

the cache was hidden in the village before the Second Lebanon War in 2006. Saying that the weaponry was recently placed inside the storehouse is nothing short of admitting incompetence of the IDF; how could IDF aircraft capture footage of several senior Hizbullah operatives entering an underground tunnel near the house, but didn't capture footage of storing weapons inside the house which would have been taken longer time and brighter appearance that persons entering tunnels?
14. We have weapons all over the place...
Hezbollah ,   Lebanon   (07.17.09)
5 times more missiles than before the 2006. What is your wimp Netanyahu going to do about it? We also have something the Americans can never sell to you, its called GUTS!

(07.17.09)
sure you have guts!!!!! so, if you have so many guts, why don't you have uniforms so that we can see you as combatants. this is the rule of war. israelis and any army that is legitimate has uniforms. they don't hide behind civilians and use them as shields because they are afraid to die or get hurt. come out in the open and fight fair....with uniforms, like any army would. this is when you will loose. this is when you will loose because you won't have mama and papa and 10 children in the house to hide behind. this is fair fighting. but you are all cowards. arabs are cowards.

Seems you didnt read the report that IDF used palestine civilians as shields? Sure Huzballah has guts, dont forget that huzballah doesnt have warplanes, heavy missiles and latest technology.
17. #15 You are ignorant
(07.17.09)
Hezbollah does have uniforms and Hezbollah was wearing their uniforms throughout the 2006. The reason I accuse you rightly of being ignorant is even though Hezbollah use uniforms, they remain invisible to you because they use the tactic of attacking your army concentrations with lightning speed and then they disappear into a maze of well constructed tunnels that connect all the villages of Southern Lebanon. Before the IDF has realised what had hit them, they will be gone.

Marco ,   Spain   (07.17.09)
Your shallow thinking is going to be the number one reason for your downfall. Your propaganda is supposed to fool the enemy, but it seems to be fooling you! Hezbollah's style of combat in 2006 is being taught at major military academies in the west and you blab your mouth with rubbish. With the modest means in its possesion, Hezbollah DID beat the sh$t out your IDF.

(07.17.09)
Its funny you should say that Hezbollah fighters are afraid to die. May I remind you about the heroic action of Ahmad Kassir, who drove his car into the Israeli military headquartes in Tyre, Lebanon. The whole 8 story building collapsed killing 76 Israeli intelligence officers in one blow. Those are not people who fear death. Stop deceiving yourself.
20. #19 Hezbollah dumbs down Lebanon
