Israeli Air Force Shoots Down Hezbollah Drone (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, October 6, 2012, 6:21 PM
The Israeli Air Force shot down a Hezbollah drone today after it crossed into southern Israel today.
Reuters reported:
The Israeli air force shot down a drone after it crossed into southern Israel on Saturday, the military said, but it remained unclear where the aircraft had come from.
The drone was first spotted above the Mediterranean in the area of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip to the west of Israel, said military spokeswoman Avital Leibovich.
It was kept under surveillance and followed by Israeli air force jets before it was shot down above a forest in an unpopulated area near the border with the occupied West Bank.
Leibovich said it was shot down at about 10 a.m. (0700 GMT), after it travelled east some 35 miles across Israel’s southern Negev desert.
Defence Minister Ehud Barak praised the interception as “sharp and effective”.
“We view with great severity the attempt to compromise Israeli air space and will consider our response in due course,” Barak said in a statement.
Soldiers, assisted by helicopters, were searching the area for the remains of the drone, which security sources said most likely did not originate from the Gaza Strip.

Are you clairvoyant? Even the Israelis admit they do not know from whence cometh the drone.
So how do you know it was Hezbollah?
Truth? You simply do not.

Jerusalem Post reported that the drone enter Israel airspace via the Gaza Stripe…….The question that should be asking where did Hezbollah get the drone? Don’t forget O gave Iran our down drone, instead of blowing the thing up……

Obama Being Sent to Debate Camp Next Week
They can spend all the time at all the camps they want and it won’t wipe the FAIL off the last four years, but they’ll try anyway:
To remedy this, there will be more extensive preparation for Obama before the next showdown — now much higher stakes for Obama — at Hofstra University. Obama will set up debate camp at the end of next week in Williamsburg, Va.
Obama may not be adding more rehearsal time — but as senior adviser David Axelrod says, he’s going to be more strategic about how he uses it.
And on Obama’s debate sparring partner — Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), who wants to be secretary of state in a second Obama term — with his future in the balance, will he be able to be more aggressive and push back against Obama now that Romney has shown his stuff?
Sources tell me it’s an Indian-themed getaway: Camp Awanaprompter.
Obama blew it at the last debate because he’s defending things that can’t be defended. He lost not because he wasn’t prepared for the debate, but because he wasn’t prepared to be president — and it showed.
The nation eagerly awaits the president using the phrase “this one time, at debate camp…”

I commend you for your inability to even keep on script . . .
You just wander off wherever you want and to whatever you want to say, regardless of the thread.
Address the issue in the headline, or go find another thread. Geezopete, the internet has gone idiotic, and thinks itself sane.

Did you somehow miss the opening acronym, “OT”, it means Off Topic. It would seem that the OT interjection was deliberate…
By the way, are you some kind of official thread monitor, or just a self appointed topic sherriff?

Most every comment on this thread is OT (although I have no clue why you or anyone else cannot stay on-topic – is there something or some rule that say you need to meander?) …
That having been said, my original point hold – Hoft is either clairvoyant or talking through his hair-do – the Israelis, who know everything about what anyone is doing (so they say) don’t know where the drone is from . . .
But Hoft does. Real flipping objective reporting.
BTW – OT as you say – Tito is gonna go to the Mistake.
Heh!

Let me be clear, this is exactly the draconian war like aggression from Israel that I am against! Stop Israel and save a drone. That is my motto!
The faster my brothers under Iran’s control instigate a war with Israel – the faster I will let Iran destroy Israel! It’s that simple!
We’ll be on our way to a 100% muck-up Middle East! Sure, gas prices will double – but I don’t care! I have the Taxpayers foot my gas bill! Ha ha!
Besides, the Jews always vote for me. Why should they change? I have their vote in the bag. I say take their money and screw them. Good day.
