[Scurrilous]

<snip>

"Dozens of people were injured, two of them moderately, in the latest spate of Hezbollah rocket attacks on Israel on Friday.

At least three people were lightly injured when Hezbollah fired a salvo of Katyusha rockets at targets in northern Israel on Friday evening. One person was hurt in Yesod Hama'alah, and others were injured in Kfar Szold and Kibbutz Hulata.

Earlier Friday, two people were moderately hurt and eight sustained light injuries after a Katyusha rocket hit a residential building in Safed on Friday afternoon. The building sustained heavy damage.

Channel 1 TV footage showed heavy damage to the building and its surroundings. Smashed windows and wrecked cars were seen on the street that was strewn with cement fallout.

Early Friday evening, one man sustained light injuries when a Katyusha rocket landed in the Galilee village of Yesod Hama'alah. Earlier in the day, casualties were reported in the upper Galilee village of Peki'in after four rockets landed there, as well as in the community of Hatzor Haglilit where two people were lightly wounded. Three Katyusha rockets hit Kiryat Shmona on Friday afternoon. No casualties were reported in the strike."

<snip>

"Hizbullah continues to strike north: Katyusha barrages landed Friday afternoon in Safed, Nahariya, Hatzor, Kiryat Shmona, Karmiel, Matat, Sasa, Pki'in and Beit Jan. One of the rockets directly hit a house in Safed, injuring 12 people. One person sustained a very severe head injury.

Rockets fired from southern Lebanon have also landed on Shomra, Metula, Zarit, and Even Menachem. Magen David Adom paramedics said over 50 civilians have been treated so far, including two in Yesod Hamaale where two katyusha rockets exploded.

Head of the emergency room in Ziv Hospital, Dr. Hussein Amar, said that one of the injured sustained serious wounds, two are in moderate condition and the rest were lightly injured by shrapnel and shock wave. Magen David Adom teams are set to evacuate more people to the hospital.

At least 14 rockets landed in the town in three or four barrages and the town's residents still suffer from disruptions to the power supply caused by earlier rocket attacks."

1. I understand why they'd do this

Israel has hundreds maybe thousands of Lebanese in its jails secretly without charge or trial -- illegally kidnapped, literally.

So if Israel is allowed to rape Lebanon for its kidnapped SOLDIERS and Lebanese are not allowed to do anything for their kidnapped civilians and soldiers -- you see the double standard there?

But I don't think that Hezbollah should do this. They'll cause escalation, and they can't fight the IDF right now. They should withdraw and fight the IDF if it sends land forces into Lebanon.

2. Sort of.

I also see your double standard. Quite interesting.

[malaise]

3. You of course are objective

but you post about attacks from one side

13. You're misinformed.

I post information from both sides.

I condemn Israel's shockingly disproportionate responses, and many other of their actions.

I condemn H'zbollah. It's called consistency.

[Terran1212]

6. I told you i disagree with both IDF and Hezbollah

But to say Hezbollah launched and unprovoked attack is ludicrious. Thousands of Lebanese citizens have been kidnapped illegally by Israel. Can the Lebanese do nothing in response or is the right to self defense only an Israeli one?

10. links

can you link me to the proof of these "thousands of lebanese citizens" that have been kidnapped by israel?

[Terran1212]

11. It's common knowledge look it up my friend

It's in all the arab commentary about the incident, because to them it's known well.

[cali]

15. As you're

someone who believe's every word issued by H'zbollah is the absolute truth, I don't think I can take your word for it. As the person making the claim, it's your obligation to provide reputable links about the status of Lebanese prisoners held by Israel.

[in_cog_ni_to]

14. Where's the link to the kidnapped Lebanese, please.

You made the statement, you provide the proof. Where's a link? Who are these people?

[democrat_patriot]

4. Is Hizbullah now claiming they launched rockets?

I thought they denied doing so yesterday....

[Scurrilous]

7. Regardless of any statements to the contrary...

...Hezbollah is launching missles into Israel.

[Igel]

12. The denial wasn't that they launched rockets,

but that they those specific launched rockets that killed civilians. How they'd know that is a mystery.

Launch 90 rockets, some finally hit a target, and suddenly they aren't yours. Although, to be honest, it's not like they were preceded by heralds announcing the source of the imminent "boom!"

5. I don't think it can go on like this very long.

I got a bad feeling that something even more outstandingly stupid and offensive is going to be done by one side or the other soon. My bet would be on Olmert; if we have a week or so of bombing the shit out of Beirut while Hiz'bullah keeps lobbing these dink missiles into N. Israel, people are going to start asking for explanations as to why this was a good idea.

8. From Haaretz:

Mother and son killed as Katyusha hits their home

2 people moderately hurt as Katyusha hits building in Safed; rockets hit Yesod Hama'alah, Kiryat Shmona, Hatzor Haglilit, Peki'in. 20:09

16. Don't stop until every single member of Hezbollah is dead

Can't have peace until the rabid warriors are dead, so kill them.
