Hizbollah: We have hit Israeli gunboat off Tyre. 12 Zionists on board.
I doubt the vessel would be within visible range from the coast
We'll see....
FOX just reporting sirens and rocket fire in K Shimona
Yep, couldn't connect.
AP now reporting that Hizb TV saying they took out an Israeli gunboat with 12 sailors..so now it's "official"...
We'll see if this changes anything..
I havent heard any activity at the UN today..
Wow. The mind wobbles (as Kelly Bundy would say).
Speak of the devil...Bolton now saying they hope for a vote on resolution later today..."very close" to agreement..
Shaking head...
when did he say this, because he said the same yesterday.
"...Bolger asked him questions, but he said El Ela would not tell him where he had been recently. Police learned that he had apparently taken a bus from New York to Chicago, police spokeswoman Monique Bond said..."
Remember, that's just an agreement that the security council won't veto, not an agreement that all sides say yes to...Very little news coming out of the Israeli news sites about it so far today except the military, Likud and various groups on the right don't like it...and I don't think the Israeli people will like it, either...Olmert needs to kick Livni off the cabinet, IMHO. Of course, I think Olmert needs to be possessed by the ghost of Moshe Dayan, and Peretz by Begin, but that's another story....
I was watching it earlier this morning as well. I closed it to check some of the videos on their web site and now can't get back in. Bummer. :-(
Hezbollah TV reported Friday that guerrillas destroyed an Israeli gunboat off the coast of Tyre, killing or wounding the crew of 12.

Interesting that Lebanon now seems willing to agree to a cease fire.
I got a feeling that yesterdays events may have signaled them that the western world is in no mood to play anymore.
i can almost guarantee Israel will not accept any cease fire in the short term if these reports of the Israeli gunboat sinking are true. They would hang Olmert in TelAviv square if he were to accept a cease fire under such circumstances
I have had trouble with the Fox streaming today also...
I got it to come on...then it just quit...my computer said it was having trouble with the server and to try again later.
Do you think this is because so many people are logging on??
I am computer ignorant...but, like you, I was loving it the other day, not one problem....but now, nothing...darn.
A U.N.-authored resolution for a cease-fire in Lebanon has been approved by Israel and the United States.
Dan Gillerman, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, said the proposal would pave the way for the release of capitive Israeli Defense Forces soldiers, the release of Lebanese prisoners and the disarming of Hezbollah, Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz reported Friday.
"It is estimated that a resolution could be voted on by Friday afternoon, and if not then on Saturday. But still, there is an attempt to reach a resolution on Friday," Gillerman said.
He said the many demands by the Lebanese government, which he said might even be called crybaby, would not serve as the basis of the agreement.
A senior Lebanese political source said the U.N. deal would include an Israeli withdrawel from Lebanon followed by the deployment of international troops, led by French soldiers, in the country.
