I've heard armor is being massed in the N/NE of Israel, and that was after the deaths in Haifa today. The IDF is getting ready for what they believe is necessary, but will the Israeli government let them go in and clean house?
Meanwhile the NY Times is posting blatant Syrian propaganda.

The headline gives you an idea of the a flavor of the piece
Spirits Are High in Syria’s Capital as Leaders Openly Show Support for Hezbollah
That's the question of the day. The only reason Olmert has done what he's done thus far (in my opinion) is that he knows he will be tossed out on his ass if he doesn't do something. He is trying to do the minimum "something" in order to stay in power.
There is no verified source on this, seen this on another sortof news board, Repeat, No Verified Valid Source:
TV news: Israel using GAS (wmd) on Lebanon!
Sorry no links, you can believe it or not.
Italian mainstream TV news (RAI) was reporting live from Beirut just half an hour ago that Israel is using GAS in bombing Lebanon. They say it's not confirmed, but if they dare to report it... well, I guess they're pretty sure (journalists in Italy are enslaved as everywhere else).
