give thema reason to cry to their bosses and open all fronts. america will go in w/you. G-d bless all who stand for freedom!
3. commando raid
jeremy ,   kibbutz hulata   (08.19.06)
Yossi Beilin, please shut up. You have no right to talk about why soldiers were sent on this raid. It is your politics that helped cause the situation that brought war to the North. Your so called peace polices cause our deterance to be diminished. Go live with the Arabs in Jenin or Beriut. You cause more harm than good in all that you do.
4. COMMANDO OPERATION
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (08.19.06)
Read the article in full but yet do not understand beyond the fact that is was necessary..............fine it was necessary but what did the IDF achieve........did they destroy the arms supposedly smuggled into Lebanon?What did they achieve?
5. Arms?
Jerry Ecklor ,   United States   (08.19.06)

8. Wasting live to prop up sinking political career
Asylum Aleikum   (08.19.06)
To be effective against arms smuggling, commando raids would have to carried on a regular basis, in which case they would lose an element of surprise and likely fail. Get rid of Olmert before he decimates the IDF's moral and deterrent capabilities to prop up his political futures.
9. olmee has brought shame to israel
shamy ,   pakistan   (08.19.06)
how do u kno?where is the proof of smugling?couldn,t u point it out to the world b4 going in there? this is absolutely a pathological behaviour .if it had been hizbullah i m sure that by now the UN must have passed a resolution allowing israel to deal with it the way it wanted.i shed tears of blood when i see pathetic collective conscious of israeli people.how can someone with such shamful arrogance be the chosen one? really i never agreed with ahmedinijad regarding israel but how should i stop my mind n conscious from thinking that he n Chavez r right ,when i see such acts of shameful arrogance.
10. The tired ,weak ,defeatist apologizes
Marcel ,   Florida   (08.19.06)
The Kadima party has to explain why ? Why does the Kadima leader not explain to Israel why he accepted a worhtless ceasfire from his Condi Bush handlers ? Why he left the IDF soldiers in the hands of Haamas and Hezbollah nad does nothing by small operations which accomplish nothing ? You are another shameful leader of Israel Olmert , go home to your wife and children and clean up the mess there .The fact that Puppet Misister Olmert backed down from every one of his stated goal's in his kid gloves conflict with Hezbollah and that two IDF sooldiers were abandoned is a resounding failure. The fact that Hezbolah is around walking tall and preparing for another even more deadly round is a resounding failure for Israel. The fact that Olmert went along with such a worthless cesasefire reveals how inept he and his Kadima party are. The foolish Israeli voters elected the weakest and most corrupt decievers to rule over them. Kadima is the way to disaster for the nation of Israel .
11. Ceasefire Hizbullah, We will shoot you!
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (08.19.06)
That is funniest pretext to breach ceasefire and tantamount to telling Hizbullah "Stop fire , we will shoot you death". I think it was not enough and that breach of ceasefire will cause Israeli people again back to shelters and so for Lebanon. If you do not like do not believe but 1. You lost the war and some unenforcablle articles of agreement were only only to calm public oppinion, that is, for domestic consumption. 2. Hizbullan will not be disarmed and cannot, as Lebanon army is one of most dishonorable army serving tea to their "Enemy army IDF" there seems only one resistance who defend honour of their people, it is hizbullah. That justified existance of Hizbullah, if Lebanon army were defending its country Hizbullan will be unnecessary organization and inevitabely will be disarmed. Basics: You cannot chose your enemy yourself , you cannot expect replacement of your enemy with your puppet Lebanan army. 3. International force will never come, at least there will not be any effective force. Each army is responsible to defend its country itself not Israelis. Their comming will mean to support your further aggression leaving them face to face with Hizbullah . You will bomb and they will confront Hizbullah!. What a funny logic and expectation. You can only find one army convenient for that purpose in the earth:US army. Do not expect anyting from others. 4. You cannot stop arms traffic. It may be carried in parts on horse backs through montains as well and Hizbullah will have more and better guns as any supplier saw they are worth to support. So either make up your mind and sit with that terrible defeat you faced in Lebanon and keep ceasefire with all unenforceable articles or start everyting from scratch going back to shelters, paying higher taxes, giving more deaths, material and business losses, getting ready even for a worse defeat.
12. commando operation wouldn't stop them
KMR ,   Middle East   (08.19.06)
Should Hezbollah resorts to smuggling Syrian and Iranian arms', then bomb them...throw the proof of arial photograph to Annan's face in UN.
13. Olmert + Isreal.. you are opening the Gates of Hell again
Nab ,   Lebanon   (08.19.06)
Didn't you learn?? NEVER MESS UP with lebanon again!! Unless you want hizbullah's rockets to rain again all over israel !! Its a simple matter of CAUSE & EFFECT!!
14. bizarre yet true, agree with proud grandpa #7
aaron ,   ra'anana   (08.19.06)
15. Fuad Sinoira shut up you have no say in the matter
Mike ,   Israel   (08.19.06)
16. Kooni Lemels at the helm!
al ramey ,   los angeles   (08.19.06)
Ynet did not explain what the soldiers were supposed to do or what they really did. There s a gap between what is made known and the hyped claims made by the IDF P.R machine, never known for staying with the facts. The bottom line is that the military is in the hands of the wrong people who are improvising mindless moves, sacrificing precious lives of Israel's finest all to shore up the discredited triumvirate of Kooni Lemels at the helm!
17. they loved the beating, they want more!
Ahmad Abouali ,   nablus   (08.19.06)
the trio idiots: Olmert, Halutz & Peretz, could not get enough beating on their terror army, so, and in a VIOLATION OF THE UN RES. 1701, sent their terrorists to Lebanon, just to get more IDF blood spelled by Hizbullah. we will not call upon the it'l community to stop the Zionists from being outlaws,. rather we encourage the Zionists to send more of their troops to Lebanon, the less Zionists soldiers in the IDF , is less pain and agony for the Palestinian children in Palestine. way to GO Olmert, Halutz and Peretz
18. Jeremy's correct
Haim ,   Ra'anana   (08.19.06)
Beilin, Peres's poodle against the law, contrived the Oslo disaster. We have been paying in blood ever since. I am sure that no patriotic Israeli ever wants to hear the name Beilin again. He should belt up and shut up.
19. OLMERT STOP LYING YO OWN PEOPLE
Michelle ,   France   (08.19.06)
about which weapon smugling are you the hell talking about in 20 km away from Syrian borders in Lebanese territories ? ,do you consider that your people as such DUMBs after all what they suffer from you & all your cabinet ?the shame you brought to israel is in first time & nothing similiar even didn't happen before .STOP IT IDIOT
20. #15
Patriot ,   Lebanon   (08.19.06)
I agree with you,israel must deal only with Hizbollah cause Hizbollah knows how to satisfy israel,Siniora not.loool
21. don't draw conclusion from a mere ynet article.
eugene ,   israel   (08.19.06)
all you are given is that there was an operation , that was successful, where 1 idf soldier and 3 hezbollah members got killed. dont expect idf to tell you the whole story of the operation, what did they achieve, what intelligence they've gathered. there are many things going on behind the curtains, and that for the best. there's been too much superfluous talk in the press during this war already. it's your choice either to trust or not ynet and idf spokepersons. and to #13 and #17 save us from your al-manar like bullshit..
22. OLMERT IS A LEBANESE NATIONAL HERO
real lebanese ,   Lebanon   (08.19.06)
such are peretz & halutz ,they are helping us to get rid of israel soldiers.i think that they are the best Hizbollah inteligence agents in israel
23. Olmert
bachrach Andres ,   Kfarsaba il.   (08.19.06)
What kind of a country what they call himself libanon is who can't control his own border?and who can't see a long line of freight cars full with warmaterial crossing his border in full daylight.What this so called lebanon army/so they call himself/ is wasting his time for?The real and regretful truth is that this band of operett soldier cover the unlawful and illegitimate activity of the iranian hisballa terrorist. andi hakfarsabai.
24. Israel can't believe it !!!
Ali ,   Lebanon   (08.19.06)
Since the state of oppression and discremanation was established in 1948, Israel is not able to accept its fatal and severe defeat by HIZBULLAH. The last operation is a hopeless attempt to acheif some reconsideration for their deafeted troops. This is understandable for any looser!!!
25. Probe
George ,   Atlanta, GA   (08.19.06)
Time for urgent vote of no-confidence and new elections. And, please, no more socialists running the army. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=51596
26. No other way
a voice ,   the Czech Republic   (08.19.06)
First of all Israel must blame Lebanon for not keeping the conditions of the UN resolution 1701. It must be done on official level of open policy. Nothing behind the stage. It is war for getting voice all the world round on behalf of the next steps. In the meantime Israel must send small squads toward depth of Lebanes territory. No contact wit the enemy preferable. Just laying traps. And silence, silence, silence. And steadily blame the other side for any visible and verifiable breaching of the condition of ceasefire and resolution No.1701. Even the minute one. On official level with the presence of media. Again and again. Media war of attrition. Ther is no time. There is no other way.
27. Jewish in heart?
nancy richards ,   carrollton, TX USA   (08.19.06)
There are some Jews who are not Jewish in heart, and unfortunately in places of influence. All the more reason to pray strong faith-filled prayers, that the God of Israel (and of Gentile believers also) will intervene! My prayers continue.
28. OLMERT FORGOT SMTH. TO SAY
advisor ,   Germany   (08.19.06)
to israeli people to hope them with this operation shabat
29. Israeli retaliation
Giandorico ,   Macerata, Italy   (08.19.06)
In these weeks of war I started reading articles in the Israel's newspapers. I realized that forums like these are crowded by Arabs or, anyway, muslim, comments. All these can be reassumed in one: hatred toward Israel, and the Western World in as much this latter supports Israel and, why not, in itself for its values. That's rellay true what Professor Lewis said about the fact that the muslim civilization lost all the "right" meetings with the history: the modern world, the liberal revolutions and the following building of the modern civilization. In one world, has lost the modern in itself. That's why we can have such comments which, at a first view, could seem the products of some poor mushy-brain people, socially emarginated. On the contrary, in my opinion, they are the fair mirror of the poor conditions of the generality of people in those countries. For example, all these comments about Hezbollah "victories". Nothing new: think to all the nuts that top ranking Iraqi officials (for example the Ministry of Information, the "Comical Alì"), were saying about Iraq's bright victory with the American tanks going straight ahead toward downtown Baghdad. When will they change? When will they become adults?
30. Hezbollah, enjoy the PR while you can, Netanyahu is coming!
Jeremy ,   Cleveland, USA   (08.19.06)
Hezbollah can play its PR games. It should enjoy them while they can. While Israel killed many of your terrorist fighters, destroyed your arms, and flattened your homes, the day of its half-moves is almost over. Your days are numbered - Bibi Netanyahu will soon be here to finish the job.
