First Ichy, they are rockets, not missiles, and most are short range. You seem fixated on them, but how many guided missiles, tanks, war ships, planes, etc etc, does Israel have? BTW, the numbers and sophistication of these rockets have been increasing almost daily, guess where the info is coming from? From the Asian times link you did not look at. Military analysts are uncertain as to the extent of Hezbollah's mid- and long-range missile stocks, but most concur with Israeli intelligence that they include the Iranian-made Fajr-3, with a 45-kilometer range, and maybe the 200km Zelzal, which in theory could reach as far as Tel Aviv. New evidence of Hezbollah's upgraded operational capacity came in the form of a crippling strike on an Israeli warship on July 14, attributed to a radar-guided C-802 missile of Iranian origin. This has prompted some Israeli officials and military officers to trumpet fresh justification for a preemptive move against Iran, whose president has famously called for Israel's erasure from the map of the Middle East. If you lived next to a country that continually killed your families, would you not want even a tiny bit of protection, even outdated weapons such as they have? Yes and I think the Israelis who have Muslims trying to kill them every day, are doing a good job. You cannot be talking about hezbollah because Israel has not been Killing the Lebanese. Until of course hezbollah committed an act of war. They are discussing the evacuation process in Israel, 32,000 children have been evacuated from Northern israel. All of the children arab and jewish are being moved at the same time. Because the Hezbollah doesn't care who they kill. The women I think are next. The Canadian Jewish congress is going to pay for the evacuation, I assume you will be offering a donation to help defray this huge cost to Israel. So Israel is moving people out of the way of hezbollah's innocuous rockets. I wonder why they would bother if they were so harmless? Why would Hezbollah bother with rockets and missiles that didn't work. Israel dropped 23 tons of bombs on one site just the other day, according to CNN. That alone probably outweighed all the weapons that Israel faces Yes, and not one of those bombs would have been dropped if it wasn't for the killers from Hezbollah. If Israel hadn't been attacked Israel wouldn't have to buy another 23 tons of bombs. Do you know how expensive that has to be. and they work, not cheap crap like Hezbollah sends.... What was that old slogan..... When you care enough to send the very best.... Have a fine night Ichy
