Attacks by Hezbollah caused panic. More than 300 short-range Katyusha rockets have fallen on 20 Israeli towns since the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel erupted. Around 70 rockets were fired from Lebanon on Friday alone. For the people of Nahariya, life is now on the frontline. This elderly man was woken by attacks - he told police he was OK. Other towns targeted in northern Israel include Kiryat Shemona, Safed, Meron, Karmiel and even Haifa where two rockets landed on Thursday night.

Another target was a military base which has a stock of Patriot missile batteries. One of Hezbollah's Katyusha rockets hit this house in Meron killing a woman and a child. Tens of thousands of Israelis have been sleeping in shelters out of fear of rocket attacks.

As the sun set on Nahariya on Friday evening, families and neighbours gathered in shelters to light candles, marking the start of the first Jewish Sabbath under a barrage of rockets.

Yet some identity group/religion individuals continue to advise Israel to exercise restraint. Israel doesn't need such advise from those whose groups aren't known for practicing what they preach.

Jews take comfort in what they've turned to since time immemorial - God and their families.

(Go Israel, Go! Slap Down Em Hezbullies!)

Israeli dreamers and the US State Department geniuses have brought this about. Maybe these idiots will now wake the f**k up.

Total war. That's what it will take. Start stacking up bodies and don't quit until the towelheads have had enough.

Didn't I read that they had 1200 missles so if they've fired 300 is that 1/4 of their supply?

I was wondering that too. Maybe they'll run out of ammo just in time for the 72-hour deadline.

Last count I heard was over 17,000 rockets.

Liberals on Iraq: If Saddam had WMDs we would have found them easily. Bush lied. People died.

Liberals on Lebanon: You can't hold Lebanon accountable for those attacks. Why, Hezbollah hid those rockets so well they couldn't possibly be found no matter how hard you look. And when Hezbollah targets a whole city with those rockets, those evil Jews show no restraint by targeting a single house where Hezbollah leaders are hiding among little children and old women. Those Jews are as evil as Bush, well almost. Jews lie. People die.

Not to worry -- if Hezbollah runs out of missiles, Iran will supply more.

Hezbollah is just a way Lebanon refuses to take responsibility for going to war with Israel. There is no way an organisation could fire that many missiles without the full co-operation of the Lebanese government. It iosnt Hezbollah Israel is fighting it is lebanon, stop the BS and go to the top Take out the Lebanese Government.
