Don't be so hasty to call people liars when you don't follow the news: Hizbullah hits Israel's INS Hanit with anti-ship missile By Alon Ben-David JDW Correspondent on the Israeli-Lebanese border Israel's INS Hanit, a Eilat (Sa'ar 5)-class missile corvette, was struck on 14 July by an Iranian-made C-802 Noor (Tondar) radar-guided anti-ship missile, fired by Hizbullah from Beirut. "We were not aware that Hizbullah possessed this kind of missile," said Rear Admiral Noam Faig, Israel Navy (IN) head of operations, told Jane's. "We are familiar with that missile from other areas but assumed that the threat was not present in Lebanon." The Noor, based on the Chinese C-802, was reported to have a 200 km range during manoeuvres conducted by the Iranian Navy in April 2005. An initial debrief of the incident suggested that the Hanit was sailing without fully activating its Barak-point defence system. For other, undisclosed reasons, the Hanit's electronic countermeasures and electronic support measures, as well as the Vulcan Phalanx close-in weapon system failed to block or intercept the missile. "It's a very painful blow to the IN," admitted an IN source, "but it could have been worse if they had hit another section of the ship." janes.com Besides, to get the two kidnapped soldiers back, did Israel have to go and bomb civilians in Lebanon. Is it not all about two soldiers!!!! No, it's not just about two soldiers anymore. It's about Nasrallah's confidence that Israel was, as he called it, "a nation of spiderwebs" that he could attack with impunity; it's about the 13,000 rockets and the Iranian backed army that he assembled that answers to Tehran and not Beirut; it's about whether using civilians as human shields for your ammo dumps & rocket launchers should work to shield you from reprisals when you attack another country.

"THis is a lie again. If the Hezbollah had these silkworms then why did they not use it against the Israeli naval blockade?" Damn.... I was hoping they would. Oh well, guess they ain't got them anymore than Saddam had WMDs GO HEZBOLLAH anadyl.asso.fr In regard to the Western media, Lebanese are united in death and life.! Skrivet av Abir 22 juli 2006, klockan 09:56 The war in Lebanon have made the Lebanese more united than anything ever. they do understand that Israel and the West will try to create another civil war like they did in the first time and succeeded but not this time!!! The Lebanese have learned a very big lesson from Israel to always stay united Christians, Muslims, Druze and Jews Lebanese and fight everyone that fights us! The Southern Lebanese (mostly Shias) are fleeing to the Christian and Sunni areas and they are welcomed so warmly everywhere. Lebanese are opening their homes in better safed places to thousands of refugees that fleed their homes. hospitals, schools are just opened for the people. people from different sects, religions are volunteering to help. My father told me he never seen so many people donating blood, money, food, clothes and many are staying with scared torrified refugees helping them to cope with the trauma. Doctors, nurses they are all sleeping in hospitals and not having one hour rest. The red cross and other aid organizations in Lebanon are organizing demonstrations, projects for children such as drawing painting their feelings on papers. The Christian hugs the Muslim and the Druze gives away his blood and the Lebanese Jew protest against other CRUEL JEWS in Israel! i have noticed that many Western media (including Aftonbladet are just bringing out silly analysys without understanding the Lebanese. take it from a Lebanese person who knows Lebanon more than any milked-down by zionists medias that think they know about Lebanon! Ask the Lebanese!
