The IDF is saying that it wasn't a makeshift aircraft that struck its warship. It was an Iranian-made C802 missile. It was a second missile fired at the warship which missed that hit the Egyptian civilian vessel 60 miles away. The IDF isn't saying whether or not Iranian agents were involved in the firing of the missile, but somehow that doesn't seem to matter as much as it might.
But the more serious development is that Israel has given Syria an ultimatum: if Hezbollah isn't neutralized and the missing soldiers returned in 72-hours, Israel will "launch an offensive with disasterous consequences".
That's Tuesday morning, by my count.

Without a doubt we need to pray for the peace of Jerusalem while still knowing that at some point the path to becoming a peace maker is forcibly removing those hindering the peace process.
Posted by: gid at July 15, 2006 09:46 PMWow. Two things I just found out.
he European Union, headed by the French, does not consider Hezbollah a terrorist organization. Did you know that?
But what's even more surprising a scary, did you know that when North Korea launched Taepodong-2, 10 members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were there?

Posted by: Musser at July 15, 2006 10:25 PMDude. This is the best quote I've read in WEEKS:
"When the Zionists behave like there are no rules and no red lines and no limits to the confrontation, it is our right to behave in the same way,"
-Sheik Hassan Nasrallah
Absolutely ridiculous. Not even the French would fall for that statement.

Posted by: ryan at July 17, 2006 06:54 AMHaha. I know. After I posted, I realized the irony of my last post in comparison to my post before that. Haha. It made me laugh.
And then I laughed at the French.
