Debka’s take

Liberian Support Operation

Air Force photo of C5 Galaxy transport, which the MSM has reported are flying into IDF bases replenishment arms for artillery and air strikes, as well as parts to maintain Israel’s Fighting Falcons and Apaches, and unloading quickly before the next arrival.

Debka has its own version of why, but we’ll have to wait and see if it’s corroborated elsewhere:

The American airlift to Israel follows the air corridor Iran opened to replenish Hizballah’s stocks on Wednesday, July 19, landing supplies at Syria’s Abu Ad Duhur military airfield north of Homs.”

Ynetnews has a good report on the Israeli ground offensive, which quotes the brass naming the  thirteen villages to be taken, so as Wretchard notes, you can plot the advance on a map.

And the IDF reported Sunday: “Since the beginning of the current operation the Air Force has attacked upwards of 2,000 targets on more than 4,000 sorties.  IDF artillery batteries have fired upwards of 25,000 shells at Katyusha missile launch sites in southern Lebanon.”

    Nice shot!
    Today, i was at home (i live near an airport) and heard a loud noise (louder than average). I’ve run to the window and i’ve seen the silouette of a huge C5 at about 75-100 feet over my head. My god!!! I’ve seen thousands of aircrafts but never seen one so big (and noisy). I have remembered UN is going to set up a facility in the airport of valencia (my town).
    Thanks for the photo.

    Thanks. I don’t remember where I got it, but there’s many more at the link. Just plug C-5 Galaxy into the search box at the top right.
