ORIGINAL: irishbynature Let's stop for a second and consider the reasons behind Israel's recent deployment, bombings, etc.... The confrontation began July 12 with a Hezbollah's raid inside Israel in which two Isreali soldiers were captured.....EDIT: the day before the kidnapping of the soldiers, Israel kidnapped two Palestinians (And here we are now, July 22) Since then: LEBANON: At least 372 have been killed and 1,482 wounded, according to Lebanese security officials. Among them are 20 Lebanese army soldiers and at least eight Hezbollah guerrillas. Among the civilian deaths are 8 Canadians, 2 Kuwaiti nationals, 1 Iraqi, 1 Sri Lankan, 1 Jordanian. Among the latest deaths Saturday: • Two Hezbollah guerrillas in clashes at border. • One in strike on Lebanese Broadcasting Corp.'s transmission center in Fatqa, northeast of Beirut. • Two in strike in southern village of Kafra. IN ISRAEL: 34 Israelis have been killed, including 19 members of the miltary, according to authorities. More than nine soldiers have been wounded, and 231 civilians, according to rescue officials. Did Israel go too far? Deploying and bombing over 2 soliders captured is worth the price of what's happening now? Consider.... Respectfully, Irishbynature I think you should get all that facts in there before you make the post quote:
The fighting was sparked by Hezbollah's July 12 capture of two Israeli soldiers and the killing of eight others in a cross-border raid. A massive Israeli offensive followed and Hezbollah responded by firing hundreds of rockets at Israel. Also this is what the leader of hezbollah wants so he can be the next hero to terriost. quote:
Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah acknowledges that Israeli troops can sweep across south Lebanon. But if he and his militants can survive and keep fighting, he will cement his image as the unlikely new hero of Arab nationalism. So in my eyes if he didn't provoke them into attacking this time they would of the next time. Edit to add this is where I got the quotes from so you can believe them or not depending on how you feel about this new source The Associated Press.
