#5 "Nasrallah is believed to have been in it."
Let's hope so. And let Assad and Ahmanutjob be next, and soon too.

#6 Banner on Haaretz:

20:10 Hezbollah: Hassan Nasrallah unharmed after IAF missile attack on home (AP)

Didn't mention attack on HQ. Fingers crossed.

#9 I am not sure I can handle this sensory overload!

First, Zarkman! Then Shamil Bashayev! And now, possibly Nasrallah????

I need a potent drink.

#10 AP: Hezbollah said the home and office of its leader, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, were destroyed by an Israeli airstrike but that he and his family were safe.

Should have figured he'd be in a deep hole somewhere safe.

#12 Why would anybody of any importance be in a designated HQ building ? Wishful thinking. These people are not that stupid.

#13 I haven't heard the puppy and infant casualty count yet...I'm sure CNN will have that for us soon.

#14 Perhaps the Hezbollah communications traffic immediately after this bombing might help them find out where Hassan really is?

#15 That's OK. It would be expected that Nasrallah would not be at home or at his HQ. The main thing is to keep systematically destroying his Command and Control capability, hence the destruction of the HQs, Cell towers, power, etc. Developments are moving quickly and a degraded C&C capability will put Hizb'Allah that much further behind the power curve. I wonder if Israel is cutting sat and fiber optic comm capabilities in Lebanon, too. They should.

#16 Heres an interesting dimension to the Hassan story, I just read on an AP story that the Hassan message was a prerecorded- generic type message, so they havent actually proved him alive yet.

#17 Seems to me the Lions of Islam are proving to be somewhat less than effective against the Lions of Juda (somewhere around here I've got a cool cartoon of the situation, but I don;t know how to load it up in a comment).
