Briefly

A kassam rocket launched by palestinian terrorists landed near a kindergarten. Two children were hurt by the shrapnel. You will not read about Israeli children being hurt by rockets aimed deliberately at the civilian population. If you do, it will be followed immediately by a tale of palestinian children who were hurt by rockets intended for terrorists or arms factories.

Operations aren’t finished in Bint Jbeil.

IDF forces are continuing to operate Friday in the village of Bint Jbeil. According to reports soldiers shot and hit a number of terrorists, killing at least three. There are no injuries among soldiers.

The forces are continuing to search for weapons infrastructures and activity in the area.

The IAF has been busy overnight.

The Air Force has meanwhile struck over 130 targets on Thursday night and in the early hours of Friday morning across Lebanon. The targets hit included a Hizbullah base and rocket launchers.

And the IDF is giving the terrorists a head-start again. Not that this will stop the cries of “War crime!” from the idiots on the left, and the Israel-haters.

A message was sent to a number of residents of villages in southern Lebanon requesting them to leave their villages and head north by ten in the morning on Friday.

The IDF said that “every vehicle traveling in the area after this hour and everyone who doesn’t evacuate their home is endangering their life.”

Hezbullah has upped the ante and is firing longer-range, more devastating rockets. Lucky for Israel, they didn’t hit anyone. Yet.

Hizbullah steps up attacks: Police officials said that on Friday noon Hizbullah fired at Israel, for the first time since the fighting in the north began, five long-range missiles carrying a greater amount of explosives than the Pajar rockets of the type that has been fired so far. The missiles landed in open areas near Afula and in the area between Afula and Beit Shean. No injuries were reported in the attack.

A short while later sirens were heard in the Haifa and Krayot area and residents were ordered into shelters and protected areas. Some rockets landed in open areas near Haifa. In a separate barrage a rocket landed in Nahariya, hitting a vehicle that immediately caught fire. Another rocket struck a public building in town and damaged it. No injuries were reported in the attacks.

Say, Ehud, is it time to send in the large ground force yet? Seventy-one percent of Israelis want to see that happen.

According to a survey of the Israeli public, 82 percent believe the army’s offensive in Lebanon is justified, and 71 percent think Israel should use even greater force.

By the way, here’s why the IAF didn’t bomb the crap out of Bint Jbeil:

An IDF source explained that, considering that there are still a few hundred Lebanese citizens in Bint Jbeil, forces cannot attack the town aerially, and, thus, it is necessary to bring in ground troops. He emphasized that fighting in the area will continue.

So, in effect, when Israeli commanders say they are not sacrificing Israel troops to save enemy civilians, they are lying. As is the world, when it says that Israel deliberately targets civilians.

Time for a STFU moment for someone. Pick one.
