Nothing on the Syrian air defence fire yet on any of the Israeli news sites.

Here are some other news:

20:47 Five Palestinians hurt as Fatah and Hamas clash in Gaza hospital (Reuters)

20:47 EU will not brand Hezbollah a terrorist organization (AP)

Interesting: Clashing in the hospital - what a nuisance to have to deal with such patients.

Paging Human Rights Watch!!

And then EU - Hezbollah is not a terrorist organization. When you think they cannot sink any deeper....

something to note:

Suitcase bomb found in German train

1 August 2006

DORTMUND, GERMANY - A bomb has been found aboard a German train, with prosecutors saying Tuesday, the morning after it was discovered, that it had been powerful enough to maim or even kill.

Bomb-disposal specialists disabled the device Monday evening in the main railway station in the western German city of Dortmund.

"The contents were capable of severely injuring or even killing people," said prosecutor Ina Holznagel.

The device included a canister of propane gas, a timer and wires.

There's been so much disinformation put out from that side of the border, that I would like confirmation from another source...

It's not like Kofi asked for an emergency $100 mill like he did for Lebanon... someone's gotta do it. I'd rather give it to Israel than Muslim Indonesia or Tsunami victims who would just as soon slit our throats while the leaders use it for terror.

This is an excellent piece of reporting about how the press is duped-perhaps willingly-the the fake news being turned out in the ME.
