#3 Anyone hoping the other Palestinians in refugee camps rise up in solidarity with Fatah al-Islam?

Perhaps Israel should follow the Lebanese model for dealing with terrorists? Why uses jets when artillery works just as well?

#6 Sandbags were packed on some of the vehicles.

Talk about low-budget armor!

The government has vowed to crush the militants, who have said they will fight till the end.

More good news.

Thousands of Palestinians have fled the camp, but thousands more are still inside, along with the Fatah al-Islam fighters.

Do these stupid fucks ever learn? Hanging with the terrorists gets you just that, a hanging. Muslims will learn soon enough that the star next to their moon symbol is nothing they should be hitching their dreams to.

#7 I hope the Lebanese are being supplied with more than ammo.

#8 The weapon systems in the article are about right for going into the Paleo camps : about the only thing I would recommend as an add-on would be thermobaric warheads for their RPGs. That way, the Lebs can safely drop buildings on top of the Fatah al-Islam.

By the way, sandbags on APCs make a good armor boost since they are cheap, easy to make, and help to prevent bullet splash. They are not the best against RPGs, for that you would want slat armor.
