Hizballah attacking Israeli border patrol (2006) - first published video
Thus starting the debacle known as 2 Lebanon war.
wow, first time I see this footage, and it even looks legit (as far as hizb propaganda can be)Originally Posted by yahusharmuta
It is still quite interresting, short of the drama, to see the type of movements employed by the terror militia.
They definitely seem to know what they are doing, and do it quite rapidly and efficiently in this footage.
They are quite packed..
But
How come they disable a Armored Humvee which looks perfectly intact and no counter firing from it ?
Looks more like staged..

WHat Gilgoul said. I'm impressed with the amount of disciplined fire; they would have kept heads down. Kind of a low-level shock & awe if you were used to a routine border patrol.
I edited my post later..
I presume that the Humvee was attacked and immobilised by a seperate group and the guys in the clip of film are the snatch squad looking for prisoners. Assuming you have other operatives responsible for cover and extraction, this is a highly professional operation.

Seems like a professional army. Mercs i wonder?
They look like well trained soldiers and not like members of a militia or something like that. Its the first video I saw about this war so far.
No.. Hezbollah train their "full time" cadre to a very high standard in light infantry tactics.
F*cking pieces of ****
I hear screaming at around 1:21 to 1:25. Or is that one of them communicating?
It was broadcasted on the Israeli channel 2 news, the arab correspondent guy said it was legit.
Was quite difficult watching this footage while knowing full well what happened to the two abducted soldiers.
At the same time it strengthens the conclusion that Israel was correct to go to war following this event and that Mughniyeh (who masterminded the whole thing) got just what he deserved eventually.
It appears that those with the camera were the snatch element, and they waited for the ambush fire support element to disable the vehicles and suppress the crews before advancing to carry out their task.
They were too bunched up at times and moved without mutual support in the final advance to the HUMVEE, but for a Middle Eastern military force they were quite professional.
Certainly not to be underestimated or disrespected.
I did not want to watch it, but I did.
