Hizb'allah Weapons Depot Explodes
2010-07-30
Nobody mentions IDF drones.
Lebanese and Israeli sources confirmed Tuesday afternoon that a series of explosions that rocked the border area earlier in the day took place at a Hizbullah terrorist weapons depot.
"Mahmoud, look at this color wheel. Do you see an '8' or a '3'?"
"I see a bunch of colored dots, Ackmed, and they all look the same."
"Fine, just connect the red wire to the pole, not the green wire."
"Hokay."
The storehouse, located near the Lebanese village of Khirbet Salim, some 20 kilometers from Israel's northern border, was filled with Katyusha rockets, automatic rifles and ammunition.

The Lebanese Army and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) immediately closed off the area and began an investigation into the incident. Journalists were barred from the scene.

Sources said the depot contained arms that dated back to the 2006 Second Lebanon War.

Dammit! Good catch, WTF. I apologize to all for missing that, even if it's a bit late.

#5  20 k is only about 14 miles. Does Israel have any of those new 250 lb guided glide bombs? I think they could release those from within their own borders. And they have a hardened nose.

#4  TW, the IDF Herons don't deliver weapons like the USAF Predators and Reapers, but they are excellent at pointing out targets to their more heavily armed associates.
