i just read a report (it was unsourced though) that they are claiming it was a "hizbollah stronghold" in Eastern Lebanon. I dunno where that could be. Apparently, this war won't be ending anytime soon. It may only spread, in fact...

 

[MillingNome]

I hope you're not right but bet you are

Real bombing? Like it broke the cease fire? I can't find anything on TV with all this JonBenet stuff.

 

[mamamelia]

WTF? are you serious? i knew the cease-fire wouldn't hold for too long.

i'll call my sis tonight to get the scoop. ugh. this SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS.

 

[mamamelia]

is this what you are talking about?

what's with the denial? who else is going to be launching air strikes other than israeli forces?

 

[mahdokht]

Here's more. This war is definitely *not* over.

I really believe the US is pushing this hoping to get Iran involved.

BEIRUT, Lebanon - Israeli commandos raided a Hezbollah stronghold deep inside Lebanon Saturday, sparking a fierce clash with militants that left one Israeli soldier dead. Lebanon called the raid a "flagrant violation" of the U.N.-brokered cease-fire, while Israel said it was aimed at disrupting arms smuggling from Iran and Syria.

Wow, and I was beginning to think I was out of my mind.

Safe thoughts to the families involved in this mess

I thought the cease-fire on the Israeli side was on condition that Hezbollah didn't re-supply weapons.. They said from the beginning they'lll respect the cease-fire if they don't see Hezbollah smuggle in weapons from Syria. I wonder if it has something to do with that.

Yes, it was to cut the suppy line of new weapon shipments. One Israeli dead, two injured, 3 Hezbollah dead, three injured.

 

[MommyChani]

B"H

exactly, Israel made it clear from the beginning that it would do what is necessary if Hezbollah continues to resupply. This is something which Unifl forces are supposed to be preventing from happening. I find the focus on Israel's supposed 'violations' interesting, why are you not focusing on the violationsof the un resolution of Lebanon/Hizbollah? Hizbollah has stated that they will not disarm, Lebanon has stated it will not disarm Hizbollah. The countries who are deploying soldiers to UNIFL are saying Israel should not be involved at all (in defending its own borders???).

Now how does that help the state of affairs?

hizbullah did not reply to this attack...weapons of hizbullah will just disappear. lebanon can't disarm hizbullah it will simply and directly lead to the civil war in lebanon. or maybe that is excatly what israel and states want

lebanese and UN forces on the border what else do they want?!?!?!

: hizbullah's weapons are not in force anymore (unless they are needed of course). this all sucks. i hope isreal is not completly out of her mind and will not strike again.
