1. Lebanese concerns
Get Real ,   UK   (05.04.13)
Does the Lebanese FM not think that weapons transfers to Hezbollah increases tension in the region and is in violation of Res 1701. Cynics might say Israel is assisting Lebanon and the UN in implementing Res 1701.
2. IAF Please hit these criminals anywhere you find them.

3. Israel has stated, time and again, that it will not...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (05.04.13)
...tolerate the transfer of chemical and other strategic weapons from the Syrian regime to lawless terror organizations, e.g. Hizballah, and it simply stands by its statements. To avoid escalation, of course, the Syrian regime ought not to transfer such weapons to Iran's front troops on Israel's border, i.e. Hizballah. Let us all call upon the Syrian regime to abide by this simple and lawful demand, shall we...??!!
4. Wide Awake and Prepared
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (05.04.13)
Yascha Koach IDF and Israel! You are the only ones wide awake and aware - prepared to deal with the TRUTH - while Kerry, Ban Moon, and Obama dance the dance of cowardice. Kol HaKavod! Am Yisrael Chai.
5. Clear need here
Makina ,   New York, USA   (05.04.13)
For Lebanon to get the same anti-aircraft missiles that the Israelis are afraid to encounter in Syria. These are defensive weapons, so there should be no issue with Lebanon acquiring them. What other country would accept foreign planes from a hostile country that has invaded it repeatedly flying overhead constantly? Would Israel accept that? Time to bring some parity to the region, and it can be done simply by making sure the air defenses of these countries is brought up to the task. The Russians are likely working on it, as we speak.
6. Mansou “He called on the international community...
solomon ,   bklyn   (05.04.13)
...to intervene in the implementation of Security Council Resolution 1701.” Isn’t this the same resolution that forbids the sending of weapons to Hez?
7. Just do It
Noah Lev ,   LosAngeles   (05.04.13)
Oh come on ,Hez has 60,000 rockets aimed at Israel..in spite of the so called ceasefire rules.Long range ability give it another notch in their arsenal, more deadly than the others.Israeli also wasting time,playing with theseguys.100jets flying over Lebanon with bunker busters wouldbdo the trick. Israels timidity and P/R worries is thwarting its victories over and over again. Just do it Israel and listen to Iran scream (takeoutheir nuke sites while you are at it)
8. Fooling the Fools....
Josh ,   Israel Tel Aviv   (05.04.13)
Would there be crying and gnashing of teeth if Russia or other worried nations bombed American arms stores containing game changing weapons destined for Syrian Rebels..Destined and Game Changing being the key words to fool the fools..
9. As always
Tom ,   Finland   (05.04.13)
Israel does the dirty work and UN moans.

as of right now, the only occupying force is Hezbollah in Lebanon. I'm sure I don't have to remind you that Lebanon is a Christian country invaded and taken over by muslims. the only reason true Lebanese can't speak out is because they are either exiled, dead or too scared to speak against their Hezbollah occupiers. and I love how you must attack Israel at all costs, even while in Syria thousands of women and children are being massacred daily. people like you are the reason terrorist thugs stay in power and kill women and children. if you were able to see the truth for even one second, you would realize that these Israeli airstrikes are preventing a war from erupting sooner. if Israel doesnt prevent them, then the next war will be longer and bloodier and more of your treasured Muslim occupiers would be killed, or is that what you really want? I'm sure you cheer everytime Israel kills a Muslim in self defense, because then you could get your knocks off on bashing Israel. I don't you think you get it. Israel will never be destroyed, and Israel has every right to make a move on any threatening action from a country that killing its own women and children, aided by Hezbollah.
11. Which planet does Lebanon's FM live on? not earth
(05.04.13)
Lebanon's Foreign Minister, Adnan Mansou, responded to reports that IAF jets attacked targets in Syria from Lebanese airspace. "These attacks will only increase the tension and the volatility of the situation," Mansou said, warning that the Israeli action hinders regional peace and security,
12. NOW IS THE TIME!!
Salim ,   Canada   (05.04.13)
There has never been a better time to strike hard and finish off Hezbullah in Lebanon. With their attention distracted by the fighting in Syria, they will have great difficulty defending their positions in Lebanon. IDF, please go after them once and for all and remove this scourge from the earth !!!
13. yaalon does not shed tears
milson   (05.04.13)
when barak attacked, he immediately offered unilateral withdrawal from judea to curry favour. He was known for hitting empty buildings and the odd hamas oeprative. Yaalon is 10 x better and is resoluteand sheds no tears. He will unleash the idf like a coiled spring and this has no happened since he was chief of staff. Mofaz, halutz , peretz, olmert and barak were bloody pathetically weak, weak jews for disgracing the troops especially the haaretz hero scumbag and know nothing olmert and barak who fought with everyone. He was not the general that people thought he was, not at all. Ask ashkenazi
14. ISLAM, (ORGANIZED) CRIME, WE AND THE REST OF MANKIND AND SO
SJOERD VAN DER VELDE ,   OUR PLANET OF EARTH,   (05.04.13)
... DOWN WITH ISLAM AND EVERY OTHER FORM OF (ORGANIZED) CRIME. PEACE, SECURITY, SAFETY, PROSPERITY AND HEALTH TO MEDINAT/ERETZ ISRAEL, ALL OF US AND TO THE REST OF MANKIND, EVERYWHERE, FOR EVER AND ALWAYS WITH, BY, IN, TO THE/A TOTALITY OF THE/AN EXISTENCE.

17. "Hezbollah-bound missiles" in a warehouse? A lie.

18. GOOD!
Cameron ,   USA   (05.04.13)
This was always Israel's work to do. We've given you the best arms and equipment, so get after your task!
19. Iran must stop
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (05.04.13)
iran must stop arming assad and it must stop sending its thugs, basij, to murder innocents. the thugs basij must be withdrawn from the border areas of israel. the psychopathic leaders of iran should not think that Israel can be persuaded by the americans to refrain from exercising the sovereign jewish state's rights to self defence.. israel will strike her enemies whenever and wherever necessary.
20. They deserve it.
Donna ,   Houston   (05.05.13)
Don't stop now, take those bombs out!!

The only sure lies are your posts; each and every one of them.
22. #10, You just don't get it
Makina ,   New York, USA   (05.07.13)
This is a new era, a new paradigm. The Jews have armed themselves to the teeth, sucking enormous amounts of $$ from the U.S. Taxpayer for decades, yet it is all for naught. This is the era of missiles & drones. If just 500 missiles are launched at Tel Aviv, your "Iron Dope" will pick up perhaps 75 %, at current rates. That leaves 125 missiles to find their targets. What will happen once 1/2 of the populations is wiped out? Will you then rely on the Haredi from Jerusalem to protect what's left? Good luck with that. It's just a matter of time. Tick tock.....
