Maps of Where the IDF is Fighting

5:17 pm Israel time: Rockets land in Haifa, injuries reported.

4:09 pm Israel time: Rockets land in Tiberias, Acco, Carmiel and Kiryat Shmona.

2:37 pm Israel time: Kassam rocket lands in Sderot, no injuries reported.

2:32 pm Israel time: IDF captures ridge overlooking Bent Jebail.(Link to map below.)

11:54 am Israel time: Warning sirens that went off in Zichron Yaakov and Binyamina were done by the Home Front Command and were not practice. (These places mark a more southern area than affected before).

11:38 am Israel time: A woman is being interviewed right now on the radio. She was on her balcony drinking coffee, the siren went off and at first she didn't want to go inside. Her husband made her go into their mamad (reinforced room) and a few seconds afterwards the house was hit directly. She said that there is damage, but that she and her husband didn't suffer even a scratch. When asked about the damage, she told the reporter that when the authorities say it is ok to go back, she will clean up and continue living there. We are a country of shtarker yidden (Yiddish for "tough Jews").

11:03 am Israel time: At least two dead as a result of rockets landing in Haifa, many injured.

10:56 am Israel time: Katyushas falling now in Carmiel and Haifa. At least one injured.

10:04 am Israel time: IAF strikes El Manar tv station again. Possible rocket attack in Nahariya. Earlier, rockets landed in western Galilee without injuries reported.

For those of you who are interested, this is the best map I could find showing the places where the IDF is fighting now. The whole map of Lebanon is here (click on places to enlarge). The specific region of where the ground troops are is the lower left-hand rectangle - click to enlarge. After enlarging look at the middle rectangle. Maroun ar Ras is in the upper right hand corner. Bent Jebail, which I saw referred to in one article as the "capitol of Hizballah" is a bit further north.

Note that the Israeli side is marked "Palestine" - for those of you who still think that the terrorists just want what we conquered in 1967, think again.

It is funny how unpopulated is the "Palestine" side of border.
