Israel Hit by Rockets From Lebanon, Conflict Widens!
« on: January 08, 2009, 08:50:16 AM »
Lebanese militants fired at least three rockets into Israel early Thursday, threatening to open a new front for the Jewish state as it pushed forward with a bloody offensive in the Gaza Strip that has killed nearly 700 people.

Two people were lightly injured, and the rockets that exploded in Israel's north raised the specter of renewed hostilities with Hezbollah, just 2 1/2 years after Israel battled the guerrilla group to a 34-day stalemate. Hezbollah started the 2006 war as Israel was battling Palestinian militants in Gaza.

No group claimed responsibility and Lebanon's government, wary of conflict, quickly condemned the rocket fire. Israel fired mortar shells into southern Lebanon in response.

For a second straight day, Israel said it suspended is Gaza military operation for three hours to allow in humanitarian supplies.

A U.N. official in the Gaza Strip says Israeli forces fired on a truck on a U.N. aid mission and killed the driver. U.N. spokesman Adnan Abu Hasna says the incident took place during the lull declared by Israel.

He says the U.N. coordinated the delivery with Israel, and the vehicle and was marked with a U.N. flag and insignia when it was shot in northern Gaza.

The Israeli army said it was investigating.

I don't think that the Israeli leaders of today would know how to handle a legitimate counter attack if another front opened up... they can only do what was scripted, to look like they're making an effort but were never prepared for an all out fight!
