i think we need to pay attention to verbiage here, she will be looking for a solution, not cease fire. The solution we and israel are looking for is a full removal of Hizbullah from the border (at least back to the litani river) the only force in the region capable and willing to do so is the IDF. I think once the IDF pushes them far enough back, then there is no need to include Hizbullah in the talks (with the exception of the captured soldiers)
Interesting blurb from DEBKA about the fighting....
Some report to DEBKAfile that in close combat, ****they have heard officers shouting in Farsi.****** (emphasis mine)
Just as in Jenin 2002, Israeli forces encountered Hizballah and al Qaeda fighters in support of Palestinians, now they are facing members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards who are aiding Hizballah in Lebanon.
The men come home with hair-raising accounts of storming the hundreds of bunkers and caves in which Hizballah fighters are lurking.
On Wednesday, July 19, Israeli soldiers fought their way into a tunnel in the Maroun es Ras area, blew it up killing the 10-15 fighters inside, and emerged to engage another group of Hizballah hiding in the dense foliage a few yards away. A hand-to-hand battle ensued in which the first two soldiers, 1st Sgt Yonatan Hadasi, 21, and 1st Sgt. Yotam Gilboa lost their lives. Israel’s death toll would have been higher had not rescue and ambulance teams braved heavy fire to extricate the wounded.
