#2 It's the communications system they're bringing down. Probably got power or something from whatever was hit on the base. If Israel wanted to wax the Leb Army, they'd be history tuit suite and there'd be far more than a building or two taken out.

#3 #1, CA, I found this at link. Israeli military officials said the target of the airstrike was a radar station used by Hezbollah for attacks like the one on the Israeli missile boat on July 14.

#4 Not one communications relay system can be allowed to be left standing. You gotta believe that the military and domestic Lebanese communications system is being used by Hezbollah. Israel should trust nothing. Destroy every communications post. In fact, I bet the Hezbollah is using the U.N. post as a communications. BTW, if the Hezbollah want fire rockets next to an U.N. post or use U.N communications system, give a 10 minute warning and destroy the U.N. post. Too many Israeli soldiers are dying because Israel is trying to be too careful. Its time for Israel to stop placating to the U.N. and really get down to business.
