Israeli airplanes dropped a half-ton bomb on the Hezbollah posts at a distance roughly 500 metres into the Lebanese border, reporters said.

Attacks were carried out with the purpose of preparing a limited operation targeting the tunnels and arsenals of Hezbollah and hiding grounds.

A UN observer in the region noted that there were between 300-500 Israeli soldiers in the western part of the border, supporetd by approximately 30 tanks.

Israel, which does not like the idea of a buffer zone at the border, claimed that its preparations did not signal a total occupation, but are designed to help “the deployment of Lebanese troops at he border” in an attempt to weaken the fighting power of Hezbollah.

Did you hear the news tonight?

The Israelis have launched over 1500 airstrikes in the last 13 days.
They even strafed cars trying to get out of Lebanon in the north.
They strafed ambulances.
They have killed over 400 Lebanese.
Over a third are children.
Today it was reported that Israel is using phosphorous shells in Lebanon.
On civilian targets.
13 banks have been destroyed because Israel says that those banks may have given money to Hezbollah.
Gas stations have been destroyed because Israel says that those gas stations may have sold gas to Hezbollah.
Over half of the 1500 targets of the airstrikes are civilian targets because they may have been helping Hezbollah.

Bill Clinton went to Connecticut to stump for Joe Lieberman.

I heard on news last night that the Israeli spokespersons were denying that they used phosperous bombs. Yet Lebanon hospitals were reporting civilian phosporous burn victims coming in. Once again, the lies of NeoCons rages on, and the Israeli NeoCons are no different USA's NeoCons. We're looking at a form of genocide that breaks international laws and more war crimes.Then the righties wonder why we bitch and complain about their Bush nut and all it's NeoCons. Speaking of which, just more same same ole Clinton action snuggling up with Bush's pals like Lieberman.
