Israel to resume full air onslaught |
2006-08-02 |
Israel says it will resume full air raids in Lebanon early on Wednesday, at the end of a partial, 48-hour suspension. Brigadier-General Shuki Shahur, a senior Israeli commander, said Israel would resume full air strikes after the partial suspension which Israel said was to give civilians time to leave. The army said on Tuesday that it had warned residents north of Lebanon's Litani river to leave the area, suggesting air raids could target areas further north than most previous strikes. "There are a small number of places north of the Litani river where we know Hezbollah operates, where leaflets were distributed," an army spokeswoman said. |

#3 Things seem to be coming unravelled for the Hizballah and its Syrian and Iranian backers. Even the UN seems to realize that no one is taking notice of their pointless blather. |

#2 Yes, but then that would be telling. The Israelis played the Arabs like a cheap violin with this one : reduce the manned aircraft but full ahead with the UAVs. A nice little propaganda move. |

#1 Shoudn't the headline read something like: "Israel to resume full air onslaught with manned aircraft."? |
