#2 Meanwhile yesterday was a sad day: 15 soldiers were killed in four incidents in southern Lebanon. In one incident an anti-tank missile was fired at a tank. Members of the tank crew were killed.
In another incident, a missile was fired at a structure containing soldiers from an elite reserve unit. Military arms were also blown up. Part of the building crashed causing the deaths of nine soldiers. (Hanan Greenberg)

G-d bless them. I hope Israel has the stomach to see this through.

#5 Agreed. If Israel stops fighting before Hizbollah is shredded, these soldiers will have died in vain. Avenge them and finish the job, please!

#8 IDF Moving North
IDF has now reached 10 k, 6 miles into Lebanon. The IDF has gone farther north in less than one day of fighting the war correctly than in almost a month of prior fighting.

#13 The IDF objective to date has not been to advance into Lebanon. It's been to locate and neutralize as many Hezbo bunkers as possible before any large scale invasion. Those bunkers were filled with thousands of Iranian-trained (and led) anti-tank teams. Most, but not all, of them have now been "Okinawanized". Many more dead Hezbos than being reported.

#18 Just watched the Canadian/Afghan video, and it seems remarkably stable and clear compared to most combat footage I've seen.

I'm not accusing that it's staged--there's certainly been a lot of technological advances in portability, stability, and other camera areas--but in most footage I've seen the camera operator is a lot more concerned with his own safety than getting all the action into the frame, and I'm a bit suspicious.

#19 I thought the same thing Dar until I saw the guy smoking at the end look into his eyes he saw battle and it frighten him some.

#21 Well, like I said, I'm just suspicious but don't have the proof or experience to say otherwise. Could very well be real, the photographer has got nerves of steel, and the camera has incredible image-stabilization. Regardless, it's very captivating footage.

I try to maintain a healthy skepticism in these heady days of "fauxtography".
