IAF warplanes and navy gunboats struck a Palestinian terrorist base south of Beirut late Wednesday, Lebanese security officials said, in the closest raid to the Lebanese capital since fighting erupted in southern Lebanon after the kidnapping of two IDF soldiers.
All residents along Israel's northern border from Nahariya in the west to Kiryat Shmona in the east were ordered into bomb shelters on Wednesday night.
"This is a new situation. The residents of Israel need to know that we are going into a period that would require resilience," Minister Issac Herzog said after the emergency cabinet meeting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert convened on Wednesday night in Tel Aviv in light of the events on the northern border.
According to Herzog, Israel is holding Lebanon responsible for the attack, which was carried out from its territory.
OC Northern Command Maj.-Gen. Udi Adam said the IDF was preparing for a widespread operation not only against Hizbullah but also against the Lebanese government. The IDF, The Jerusalem Post learned, has drawn up plans to bomb main infrastructure, including power stations in Lebanon.
"The IDF is responding with its full might by the air, the sea and the ground," Adam said. "We are also preparing for a massive operation to defend Israeli citizens and stop the terror."
Warplanes, meanwhile, flew over the Na'ameh base in the hills overlooking the Mediterranean, about 16 kilometers south of Beirut. Gunboats sailed facing the position, and explosions rang out across the area.
The base is run by the Syrian-backed Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command and was a frequent target of Israeli attacks in the past.

Meanwhile, the names of three of the eight soldiers killed Wednesday in a Hizbullah attack on IDF forces patrolling the Lebanese border were released for publication Wednesday evening: Sgt. Nimrod Cohen, 19, from Mitzpe Shalem; Sgt.-Major Eyal Benin, 22, of Be'ersheba and Sgt.-Major Shani Turgeman, 24, of Beit Shean. All the soldiers' families have been notified.
Under heavy fire, IDF forces continued Wednesday evening their attempts to reclaim the bodies of the four soldiers who died when the tank in which they were riding drove over an explosive device and was ripped apart by the blast.
Three other soldiers were killed were riding in a Hummer jeep when it was attacked, while two other soldiers in the same jeep were kidnapped.
According to reports, the two captives - reported to be a 22-year-old career military officer from the Druse village of Kfar Yanuach in the Galilee and a 26-year-old reservist from Kiryat Motzkin - were wounded, and army sources were concerned for their lives. Their names have not been released for publication.
I don't think you should be changing the headline of an article.
So, evidently, is the title.
I'm glad I'm staying home tonight. I have a feeling we've just turned the corner.
"...The residents of Israel need to know that we are going into a period that would require resilience," Minister Issac Herzog said.
Now THAT sounds pretty serious. As Israel deals with this world wide plague, "W" had better have their back.
"W" is no friend of Israel.
The fact that they're going to war against Lebanon is more significant than the already-known fact that they're carrying out airstrikes today.
Long overdue. Go to it Israel.
how in the world does a 22 year old make Sgt Major?
in US service that would take a couple of decades..
Hmmmm......
What happened to all those "brave Muslims" seeking virgins?
Do they not have Figher Jets to oppose the Jews?
Do they not have the courage to fight armed Jews?
Do they not have control over their own air space?
The time is near to answer the past decades of terror and horror dispensed by the Islamonazis...Now is the time to reveal to them, the REAL nature and cost of their "Holy Jihad".
My prayer is that MUCH of the cost - is paid by our good "friends" the Saudi Arabians.....
Mother Whore and bank of Wahhabi Islam...
Semper Fi
I want to see a non-zero body count from this "training camp" before I dare to think that anything has changed.
What the heck is an academic officer?

Godspeed IDF!
Labannon is paying the price for allowing Iran's proxy army to continue to occupy the Israeli border.
Can I have her in my foxhole?
Is that kosher?
Who is?
Curious comment. Why do you say that?
Either way, the US *is* and if we fail to understand that what happens to Israel will eventually happen to us, then quite frankly, we deserve what we get. I will not bow to mecca 5 times a day.
If 9-11 wasn't enough, what is it going to take to wake this country?
