    The first tank was hit by a missile,

    The second tank, a Merkava IV, ran over a powerful remote-controlled mine and rolled over from the blast.

    An armor-plated D-9 bulldozer that attempted to rescue the casualties was forced to retreat after being hit by a missile.

    An Apache Longbow attack helicopter flying support mission for ground forces at Bint Jbeil crashed

    The third company walked into a well-prepared ambush

    the fighting changed drastically from an offensive military operation to a rescue mission.

    After evacuating their dead and wounded, the Israelis withdrew from its positions in Aynata, claiming to have "completed operations".

      I like the implication that the helicopter wasn't even shot down, the pilot just fucked up

      • SacredExcrement [any, comrade/them]29•2 months ago

        Hezbollah stuck out a bunch of scarecrows wearing 'Press' outfits and the pilot got too distracted trying to figure out which one to shoot first

        Just painted a billboard to look like the skyline and it flew right into it.

      some things truly do never change
