![]() According to the IDF, 10 Hizbullah cells were hit by the IDF throughout the day, as well as three Hizbullah command centers. The army estimated that between 30 and 40 Hizbullah terrorists were killed. However, a high-ranking IDF officer said the difficulties troops encountered in Thursday's fighting could prompt a larger-scale ground offensive into southern Lebanon. Hizbullah also launched between eight and 10 rockets at Israel from southern Lebanon after a period of seven hours in which no rockets had been fired. An IDF soldier was seriously wounded earlier Thursday morning during clashes with a Hizbullah terrorist cell near Avivim. Also on Thursday, two more IDF soldiers were wounded, one lightly and one moderately, when their tank was hit by an anti-tank missile during an operation in southern Lebanon. The troops were evacuated under fire. |

#2 "It will be interesting to hear from the many Rantburgers with military experience, especially in Iraq, regarding how Israel might be proceeding given the level and nature of resistance they are facing." One step at time specially near the border were there are more traps. And heavy firepower. Tell them to put A-4 Skyhawks in CAS working again! |

#1 This has the most detail on Hez casualties I've seen. It's probably also the same engagement our new friend Levant is talking about. It will be interesting to hear from the many Rantburgers with military experience, especially in Iraq, regarding how Israel might be proceeding given the level and nature of resistance they are facing. |
