Israel - An 'Act of War' Declared
Day Thirteen
Today's top quote: "We are going to make Israel not safe for Israelis. There will be no place they are safe."

********************************
IDF (Israel Defense Forces) The Official Website, have a good summary of IDF activities in Lebanon Sunday...
.
Here’s what IDF wrote:
On Sunday, July 23 more than 90 Katyusha missiles were launched at Israel, killing two civilians and wounding dozens more.
.
The IDF continues to operate in order to defend the citizens of Israel from the barrage of missiles fired by Hezbollah, which operates from within Lebanese villages, using the local population as human shields.
.
During the day IDF carried out more than 120 aerial attacks in Lebanon, on targets including the following:
.
> More than 80 missiles-launching areas.
.
> The Al Manar television station in Beirut that serves the Hezbollah terror organization.
.
> Approximately 20 vehicles suspected of serving the Hezbollah terror organization in the launching of missiles at Israel, and were seen fleeing from or staying at missile-launching areas.
.
> Missiles launchers used to fire missiles at Israel.
.
> Structures serving Hezbollah terrorists for hideout and storage of Hezbollah weaponry.
.
The IDF will continue to use all means at its disposal in order to secure the citizens of Israel against the terror attacks originating from Lebanese territory, and to return the two abducted IDF soldiers, Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser to their homes safely.

I’m watching the Fox News Channel and I can tell you it is on right now just inside the boarder of Lebanon. Fox News Correspondent Mike Tobin is reporting HEAVY fighting for a good while now just over the hill from his location and I can hear rapid heavy gun fire going off constantly in the background and lots of smoke everywhere.
.
Oh Lord... An Apache Attack Helicopter has just crashed back behind Mike on the Israeli side of the Boarder. I see a ball of fire way of in the distance and lots of smoke. UPDATE: Two were killed in the above Chopper Crash. IAF is now saying it was a new Chopper just put into action and crashed due to mechanical problems of some kind. Short read on crash by IDF HERE

While watching Fox these last few minutes... I see there was one round of Sirens go off in Haifa but no rockets hit in the City. Then maybe two minutes after that... three rockets hit within the city of Kiryat Shmona and six... hit just outside of town in the hills. Small fires started in and outside of town. No reports of casualties as of yet.
