#2 Short on pain medication, the best the docs could do was tap him on the forehead twice a day with a claw hammer.

A prescription that should be administered to all terrorists, everywhere ... by a gorilla.

#3 During the third week of the recent Israel-Hezbollah war a fascinating report was broadcast on Uvda (Fact), a highly respected investigative news show hosted by veteran journalist Ilana Dayan.

Itai Anghel accompanied regiment 931 of the Nahal Brigade (infantry) to a battle that took place on the night of August 6-7 in Houleh, a Hezbollah-controlled village in Lebanon that is about 2 kilometres north of the border with Israel. Anghel documents the fierce battle that took place using a camera equipped with a night vision lens.

English subtitles. You can watch it below (length, 25 minutes).

Regiment 931

my take: The overall mission is truly something of a mystery...another unit was alluded to in the vid but it's hard understand why you would take a village or part of one [multi storied building, steep price] and then abondon it and withdraw only to quite possibly retake it the next night?

Itai Anghel, Something to watch
