| Hizbollah fires new long-range rocket into Israel |
| 2006-07-28 |
| Khaibar, BTW, was where Mohammed killed a lot of Jews. Hizbollah fired scores of rockets into Israel on Friday, including at least one that the Lebanese guerrilla group said was a new long-range missile, wounding at least 13 people, police and the army said. The longer-range rocket landed in an open area near the town of Afula, about 50 km (30 miles) from the Lebanese border. It matched the furthest distance that Hizbollah rockets had landed inside Israel since the conflict began on July 12. Hizbollah said it had fired a volley of "Khaibar 1" rockets at Afula, apparently a new type of armament. An army spokeswoman said seven rockets landed in the Afula area, two of which had landed inside the town. The other five landed in open areas near Afula, which is about 35 km (22 miles) southeast of Israel's third largest city, Haifa. Commenting on one of the rockets that landed in an open area, a police spokesman said: "Based on the damage at the site, police can confirm one rocket had around 100 kg of explosives." |

| #7 In France, the 3 most popular newspapers have said nothing, since the Hezbollah's attack of July the 12th, about the genocidal aim of this terrorist organization. It's the same concerning the Hamas. Only a satirical weekly (Charlie Hebdo) did publish, after the palestinian "elections", important excerpts of the Hamas charter, particularly article number 7 calling for the death of the Jews. French media and most of "old Europe" media need to negate the genocidal aim of those terrorist groups, in order to continue their accusations and slanders against Israel. Similarly, those moraly crooked journalists are playing down the genocidal aim of al-Qaeda and islamists, in order to continue their accusations and slanders against the US and the War on Terror. |

| #6 Understood, Le Roi. My point is that by calling them Khaibar missiles, Hizb is calling them "Jew-Killer" missiles. And the press is blindly repeating the slur. |

| #5 According to the Jerusalem Post, those rockets were Iranian-made Fajr-5 missiles. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1153292020774&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull The name "Khaibar 1" is a ridiculous attempt by Hezbonuts to conceal the fact that their weapons are provided by Iran. |

| #4 Pretty sick, huh, Xbalanke? Can you imagine the Russians naming a rocket the Pogrom 2, or the Germans calling a tank the Auschwitz IV? Only a few eccentrics at sites like this get it. 99.9% of the rest don't even have a clue. Negotiations, my ass. |

| #1 Um, not to make light of it, but if this is Hezb's idea of "surprises" their BS is matched only by their depravity. |
