| Hezbollah's new missiles have range 'Israel can't fathom' |
| 2008-08-29 |
| Hezbollah is armed with Iranian-supplied advanced missiles capable of reaching targets deep into Israel, according to a report in Friday editions of the London-based pan-Arab daily Al-Quds al-Arabi. The report quotes senior Arab sources who claim that the Shi'ite group in Lebanon plans to use the missiles in the event Israel decides to attack Iranian nuclear facilities, or if the United States launches an offensive that has the potential to ignite a regional war. The sources added that the new missiles have a range that Israel "cannot even fathom," and that the new arms are the "surprise" that Hezbollah secretary general Hassan Nasrallah spoke of in his recent statements to the public. The report says the missiles are armed with a precision-guided mechanism that increases their accuracy. A spate of media reports in recent months have indicated that Hezbollah has stockpiled new arms, including anti-aircraft systems, that it has deployed in the mountainous regions of Lebanon. Israel has repeatedly warned that positioning these missile batteries in Lebanon would be viewed as "a step that tilts the balance." Officials in Jerusalem say this would justify a preemptive strike on these weapons systems. Iranian defense experts are also reportedly in Lebanon in an effort to assist Hezbollah in developing anti-aircraft capabilities. |

| #6 Gonna be awfully hard to fire those missiles when you're dying of radiation sickness. Plus radiation efects (Blast) destroys electronics, and I'll bet these jumped up Camel herders don't have any shielding, after all the idea comes from those "EEEEVil JOOs" and "Amerikka" so it can't even be discussed. Good, die stupid or die from rad poisioning, just DIE.(And good riddance) |

| #4 These idiots are setting themselves up to be simultaneous targets. The hits on Iran will be world news. The simultaneous hits on Hezbollah will be little more than a footnote. Good riddance. |

| #3 Are these some of those iranian submerged missiles or do they think Israilis don't advance past 3rd grade math? |
