Interesting indeed carranza2. Nice follow up today as well. --------------------------------------------------- powerandcontrol.blogspot.com Update: 02 Aug '06 0422z It looks like my imagination is not so fevered after all. Lebanese army and security officials said a major Israel Defense Forces operation was underway against suspected Hezbollah positions near Baalbek in eastern Lebanon's Bekaa Valley late Tuesday. IDF troops thrust deep into the area, landing troops by helicopter in the Hezbollah heartland. Lebanese security sources said IDF soldiers had landed by helicopter near Baalbek as aircraft launched several strikes in the region. One Lebanese officer saying the Israel Air Force presence in the air above the ancient city was "unprecedented." ... "The extreme, unprecedented number of aircraft indicates the possibility that the Israelis are planning to land troops, but we cannot yet confirm that," said one security official on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information. Quoted at Captains's Quarters From Haaretz Update: 02 Aug '06 0539z Israel has landed troops 10km north of Baalbek says CNN. From Varifrank who has other interesting things to say. The Jerusalem Post has a report on the raid and pictures of commandos with machine guns. Haaretz reports on the raid in detail. Well, well, well, one of Iran's top guys, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, promised that Iran would stand with Lebanon in the fight against Israel. I hope so.
