When I went to bed last night, Israel had already decided on a severe response to yesterday's events on the northern border. Our Air Force has since launched a number of attacks, including a strike on Beirut International Airport, and our navy has entered Lebanese territorial waters and blocked access to the country's ports. Both these measures are designed to stop the flow of terrorists, supplies, and weapons to Hizbullah. In order to try and prevent civilian casualties, the IDF has warned civilians in southern Beirut to leave their homes, as we step up our operations.

For their part, Hizbullah have launched barrages of Katusha rockets overnight and this morning, including several at the northern city of Nahariya. One such rocket killed an Israeli woman, and wounded 29 other people, including children. Now residents are leaving Nahariya en masse. Hizbullah also launched 10 overnight at an IDF base on Mount Meron.

I Am not Jewish, however I would happily fight with Isreal any time against those terrorist idiots. I dont think a cease fire is a good idea for Isreal it seems to me that you guys should start pounding the lebannese goverment and facilities until they see it clear to seperate them selves from the terrorist's.

I think it is an impossible situation over there, but Israel has to protect themselves, and hopefully the United States will always back your country up.

I feel for all who suffer from this war.

Peace

Greetings I am a from the United States Of America, I am not Israeli or of middle eastern decent I am white, lol but I would like to say that I think the Israeli Armed forces are doin a fantastic job. I wish the U.S would take a stand on terror like you guys. Hizbolla took soldiers that belong to you and they should pay. Maybe we the (U.S) can learn something from this and quit being so politicaly correct and stamp out terrorism. Keep up the good work.
