Hezbollah drone brought down over Galilee held 30 kg of explosives

"Blockade is a very aggresive measure" - Seamus You're right Seamus, but that is exactly the kind of word weaseling that the UN resolution allows. Wait until the IAF carries out some bombing because allegedly the Hezbollah would be resupplied. That's defensive too.

Dear Hassan, it is obvious that you have been waiting for decadces to call anything a "victory for Arabs". Unless looking at this situation from arabic stand point, the Hezbollah and the Arabs have lost many of their own, and have lost a huge portion of their country, and u call it "victory" ? As late Menachem Begin told Arafat once "if u call this victory, I wish Arabs such a victory every day of your lives".

LOL, your analysis is correct. Only in the Middle East can total destruction and occupation of your land be considered a victory....hehehe

So what if they are? Hezbollah still has not agreed with the Lebanonese Government to disarm, which in my opinion is the whole reason the Israelis have called off the onslaught of the terrorists in the first place. When Hezbollah disarms, then the UN cease fire will be officially started, not before.

I think that your English is not as good as you think it is .. Blockade - Obstrution or prevention of access Hostilities - Act of aggression One is passive and the other active .. I suggest you refer to football and understand what is the difference is .. Ooohh sorry ... you lot put a JIHAD out for a comic poster .. EVERYTHING IS AGGRESSIVE AND CAUSE FOR WAR IN YOUR BOOKS .. Admit it .. you like death, destruction and hatred .. you can not survive without out .. It is so sad .. I pity you all .. I really really do .. Go take a look in the mirror and see what these extremists have made you ..

It is hardly logic to say that Israel kills civillians and it is disgusting, yet to counter claim that the disgustingness of it makes people want to be disgusting .. Only Arab logic can do that! BTW .. It is only Arab logic that can claim that Jews want to conquer the world, yet they are of a religion that actively prevents people from joining .. I take pleasure in the fact that the only way that Arabs can hate me is by making up lies about me .. I must be THAT nice, that you have no choice .. I will sleep well in that knowledge x

What are you, some kind of geek/nerd. Who the hell cares about the quantity of explosives, Any amount of explosive is lethal you bone head. Lets deal with the real Issues at Stop worrying about the "quantity" of explosives and get the shooting to stop. Then the details of a meaningful peace can be discussed with Israels' enemies...

I am certainly not an explosive expert, but doesn't 30 kilograms of explosives sound like a pretty low concentration? A gram, I thought, was equal in mass weight to a cubic centimeter of water. A thousand grams is not exactly a mindboggling amount. Take that time 30 is not exactly a threat to western civilization. What can a 30 kilogram blow up? The answer to that question would give us a better picture.

You are totally correct .. This is not a victory for us .. We do not claim it to be either .. In fairness, we are exactly where we should have been 6 years ago .. and in a nember of years I imagine we will be excatly where we were 4 weeks ago .. A cowardly and immoral choice .. both are a matter of your opinion .. but an opinion that I hope will get you off your high horse and do something to prevent .. because if it comes to the same point again .. IT WILL AGAIN BE YOUR FAULT FOR STANDING BY AND ALLOWING TERRORISTS TO BUILD UP ARMS ON OUR BORDER .. We will continue to defend ourslelves in the same way we have for 6 thousand years .. It works for us .. As you so rightly say, it is far from ideal, but understand it well .. becasue only you can prevent it .. I can only react to it.

You are still trying to negotiate your way back to the way it was before you "won the '67 war" .. your victory gave you bloodshed, loss of teritorial control and rubble .. but you won .. you killed a few Jews. When will you learn that your victories come at a price that none of you are prepared to pay.

So much for the cease fire!!

Wawa, on why would the Hezbollah launch exspensive drones when they could use cheap missles... Maybe because the arsenal of missles is a little depleted perhaps? Or, maybe they are a little crazy...I dunno, its a wierd world, take your pick....

How does the IDF know the drone is not carrying nuclear material? What will they do if one does? -rr

katoushas lack any kind of aim,,,these drones have a built in camera thus its as close as picking the left or the right hand side of your dining room table

Its Islam that wants to conquer and enslave the world. Question...why does Hezbollah hide behind women and children while they fight? Hiding weapons in civilan homes to be targeted by IDF planes? Iran has used Hezbollah as their puppet...no doubt Syria and Iran will be next.

You are right loosers can not decide.That why travel retrictions are imposed by Israel.Let your heros travel south, and get themselfs blown to hell. Then you will see who is defeated.hassan from nobrain.

Ali should look out of his window in Beirut and conratulate himself on his fine victory. If he still has a window. The Heroes of the Islamic Resistance have descended to such a level that their idea of victory is the ability to kill some Israelis; any Israelis. By this token, Hamas have scored many victories, but, guess what, Israel is still there, 58 years old and intact, with the highest lving standards, educational achievements, healthcare etc., in the middle east, which even its Arab citizens enjoy. Mr Nasrallah is a fine leader, one in a long line of Arab heroes who have destroyed Israel...like Nasser, Saddam Hussein, Arafat. Except that, none of them did and Israel is still there. One day, if they give up their pipe dream, they may be able to live in peace. Meantime, enjoy your victory.

Why Hizbullah would like to lose an expensive drone when he can lunch a cheap katyousha which can carry 25 kg of explosives.

I want to congratulate David for this patriotism and i want him to encourage His state to conquer all the earth and enslave everyone. You are missing the point here, just look who is the victim here and dont try to fool all the world by this reasoning. Israel is legitimizing the use of power, including shelling blindly civilians... This policy is the perfect recipy for thousands of Bin Ladins.

GB+USA+Israel agains a little organization(Hezbollah), could not achief its goals. Hezbollah did...they free Shaba, get there prisoners back, build there country from the easy-oil-money of Saudia Arabia than there is no reason for Hezbollah-weapen anymore. Beside the main goal of Hezbollah was to show to the arab nation the way that the Israeli army fights to be aware of for the next war, with Syria and Iran

If you stand behind your children and try to kill my children, than it is you, hizbollah, who is responsible for the death of these children. It was more important for hizbollah to inflict any damage they could on israeli's than care for the well-being of thier own people. Despite the numerous rockets launched into israel, lebanon in turn was set back 30 years and their own people sufferred miserably. When will you people realize...WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE! live in cooperation with us, benefit through trade and together we can even help eachother out politically and economically. The arab world is just to bitter about continually loosing to just let it go AND LOOK TOWARDS WHATS REALLY IMPORTANT...THE FUTURE!You want to try again? go for it, i say bring it. BUT YOU WILL LOOSE...AGAIN

This whole "Israel has been defeated" talk is reminding me very much of the Arab euphoria of 1956 when Nasser made Arabs believe he won the war against Israel, France and Britain. Well, my friends, the more you fool yourself, the harder it will be to fall from the height of your dreams back down to Earth. The Arabs will probably decide again soon that _this_, finally, is the time to "resolve the problem of Israel." Because they simply don't learn... I say, bring it on!

our goal was to kill as many israeli soldiers unfortunately we have been pushed to shell israely towns but now your prime minister was smart enough to stop the mounting casualties my brother was trained by the best in anti tank weaponery some parts of your merkeva 4 is already in e-bay

This is the score of David - Hassan match : 260 - 0 !! Don't worry Hassan , you will have soon another match to play , when your miserable heros full of desires to destroy Israel will try again to remove us from the map !!! BUT YOU WILL LOOSE AGAIN !! And that time will be the last !

Which is why Israel should have no qualms in keeping the territories won in 1967 and pushing out all the Palestinians. Which is why Palestinians in "refugee camps" should be taken in and cared for by their Arab brothers who refuse to let them live decently, even after these same Arab brothers forced a losing war on them. Which is why the Arab world should stop complaining about Israel's legitimate actions against terror. Because the losers should not decide, right? Don't you agree?

Israel cant claim victory either.. it has achieved none of its declared objectives: disarming hizbollah, unconditional release of abducted soldiers, and the protection of the security of the Israeli towns In addition the image of Israel and specially the IDF has been ruined, they proved that killing children and destructing infrastructure is the only solution they can adopt (a coward and immoral choice). On the ground, the IDF have lost its most important asset: The invincibility.. If you consider that a victory for israel than you have my congrats..

An "Arab Victory" is when thousands of your soldiers are dead, wounded and captured, your territory is occupied, your host country's infrastructure is destroyed, your host country is on the verge of a new civil war and your pathetic leader crawls out of his rat hole to declare that the "zionist enemy is defeated."

no way this cease fire holds

People trying to reach towns behind litani river are going back after seeing IDF soldiers and tanks occupying some of this area.IDF told reporters that no 1 is allowed to cross to the next side of the river without an authorisation from the IDF. Also 1 Hizbolla fighers was shot 1 hour ago when he appeared over the ground.The area starting litani river is still dangerous and it is under control of israeli troops.

are you stupid,in this war the only one thats defeated are the people of lebanon,who cannot stop the hizbolla stupidity

( IDF: Travel restrictions south of Litani River remain in place ) Loosers canot decides , it seems that untill now the chief of sataff of the IDF is not sure of his defeat in lebanon and still issues orders to lebaneese heros travelling in south like they are under his control , trust me not 1 would listen to your orders because simply you lost , israelies U R DEFEATED

Does the IDF really believe that it can destroy Hezbollah under the cover of a ceasefire, claiming that such actions are defensive? And does it really think that Hezbollah will just let the IDF destroy them? Olmert should read the Analysis by Zvi Bar'el, which is immensely insightful and the best advice he can get. Nor can Israel go on blockading ports and air. This is a violation of Lebanon's sovereignty and offensive. Increasing the abuse to pretend that Israel is in control, does not make a non-sensical war victorious. Nor can Israel go on landgrab. Instead, it has to leave, as fast as it can, or it risks to isolate itself permanently in the world. One cannot accuse people who stand up against war crime of terrorism or anti-semitism. The shameful facts that Israel's war was long planned and offensive are leaking out.

Blockade is a very aggresive measure which does not allow fishermen to get food, that is not cesation of hostilities. Are the IDF going to shoot small boats if they try to go out and fish. OK, that is pretty ofensive
