The Israeli government had advanced warning from the Lebanon Daily Star: Saturday, December 27, 2008 BEIRUT: UN and Lebanese military patrols along the Israeli border have been stepped up following the discovery of eight rockets connected to timers that were just hours from firing into Israel on Thursday.

Everyone stay cool and keep near fortified rooms or shelters. lets see whether this is rogue or hezbollah. Tit for tat strikes should be replaced by megamethods in the north if it turns out to be hezbollah and it is they who are firing more thana few rockets to try to get israel to ceasefire. you recall that is what they did last time. IDF generals considered in advance. remember if Hezbollah starts shooting hundreds of rockets,, use megamethods..

Take this over permanently, dig a canal and that's it. Acclerate anti-missile system day and night.

in preventing shooting at Israeli civilians. Conclusion: Israel should not agree to international supervision in Gaza without participation of Israeli forces.

So much for Livni, 1701and the UN. If anyone thinks that the Gaza operation short of the total removal of Hamas will stop the attacks they too are taking the wrong kind of drugs

It seems that Hizzbalah is trying to take advantage of the Gaza situation! What is the world doing about it?...As usual, nothing except perhaps to blame us for defending ourselves in the South. This time around if Hizzballah starts (they have started) we need to muster all our forces and hit them so hard with massive air and artillery attacks that they will go the same way that we are sending Hamas. The only good terrorist is a DEAD one. Go straight i and kill them.

This clearly illustrates why we must continue the Gaza operation until Hamas is crushed. Because of the Lebanon fiasco, we did not eliminate a threat, we allowed it to become even larger. If this is Hezbollah opening up another front, we should be ready to annihilate them with no hesitation.

I guess they enjoyed our company so much the last time, they want us to come back another time.

Is this the same "UN", who now volunteers to prevent Hamasniks from firing rockets at Israel from Gaza?

this is why Nasralla gave warning yesterday to Israel. I do not think we need to start an all out war now and I do not think the fire from Lebanon will persist. They just had to show that they are supporting the Hamas.

A ceasefire ended the Lebanon fiasco & what did we get? They shoot missiles at us whenever they feel like it. Ceasefire, international monitors, it's all BS. The way to achieve peace (for us) is to kill our enemies. Dead terrorists are peaceful.

is Israel going to file a complaint to the UN Security Council? that will only revive a resolution against Gaza

So that rockets can be fired from there as well

Once again, UN forces are proven to be a failure and perhaps, implicitly involved, as they were in almost every conflict between Israel and her enemies, to assist the Arabs in their genocidal war against Israel. Why should Israel do anything the UN says. Israel can't sit in the Security Council, UNWRA is an Arab run terror organization, and UNIFIL only complains when Israel responds to terror attacks, but not when Hamas or Hizbollah act. Now, why should Israel abide by ANY UN resolutions?

If so, take nothing less than Ishmael Haniyeh in south and Hassan Nasrallah in north

They didn't fire the missles, but israel fired the missles on itself so it would have a reason to attack S. Lebanon, the sad thing is ...that the international community will believe them too!

Very funny, are you sure you are ready to bomb Tehran & Damascus ? Believe me you don't wanna know what will happen to you if you did so.

Isreal,neva be afraid.Your God wil always deliver you

It is very easy for you to be so brave in the nice warm climate of Montreal.

Unifil and Lebanese army are warned. Lebanon is responsible of it borders activity if they start a war with Israel Lebano will be suffer big damage.No help this time from UN because ISAF has already failled. resolution 1701 was just to put water on fire and specifically aimed against Israel. No more terror this is the real slogan

Please post the name of the nursing home. We have a family member in Nahariya and cannot contact her.

Israel came close to nearly leveling Gaza. Israel should drop leaflets over Lebanon showing current scenes of Gaza with a short and sweet caption: Do You Want To Be Next?

I really don't know what will happen to Israel but I'm sure Damascos and Tehran will go back to Stone Age.

You hit the nail on the head .... it's easy to talk the talk on a computer... especially those tough guys from Montreal ...all talk and no action for years....ooops sorry! FOREVER!

Like they say One man's terrorist is another Man's freedom fighter....What goes around comes around.
