For a War, there is not a lot of people being killed (not that there is anything wrong with that!)
Israel is at war with Lebanon as announced at the UN, and Israel says Syria and Iran have their hands in it.
Israel responds to 'act of war'

UPDATE (1528 CST) Not just rumors anymore…it’s looking more and more like a sure thing. From JPost:
OC Northern Command Maj.-Gen. Udi Adam said the IDF was preparing for a widespread operation not only against Hizbullah but also against the Lebanese government. The IDF, The Jerusalem Post learned, has drawn up plans to bomb the Beirut International Airport and other main infrastructure, including power stations in Lebanon.
“The IDF is responding with its full might by the air, the sea and the ground,” Adam said. “We are also preparing for a massive operation to defend Israeli citizens and stop the terror.”
UPDATE (1733 CST) Syria is not in the clear. Israel will move on Syria, too.
While placing responsibility for the attack squarely on Lebanon’s shoulders, he made it clear that Syria would pay a price.
“Throughout the recent period, Syria has proven that it is a terrorist government,” Olmert said. “It supports terrorism, it is a government that backs terrorism, it is a government that encourages the murderous actions both of terrorists located on its soil and those beyond it. Of course, there will have to be an appropriate preparation in order to deal with the conduct of the Syrian government.”
...In a statement, the resistance movement said its forces attacked an Israeli patrol near the border and captured two soldiers at 9:05 a.m.
Israel responded with air and artillery strikes on a wide variety of targets, including Hizbullah positions, highway bridges, residential buildings, and an electrical sub-station. Thousands of extra troops beefed up the Israeli presence near the frontier with Lebanon, and a small number pushed into Lebanese territory in the Raheb area, near the town of Aita al-Shaab. In addition, about 6,000 Israeli reservists were called up for active duty.
Hizbullah said its forces engaged the Israelis as they entered Lebanon, scoring hits on three tanks, one of which was destroyed. The Israeli military confirmed the incident, acknowledging that the tank's four crew members were killed.
In a statement issued by the Israeli Defense Ministry, Defense Minister Amir Peretz warned that "Israel holds the Lebanese government fully responsible for this morning's attack."
As The Daily Star went to press, Israeli warplanes had just destroyed a major bridge over the Damour River, just south of Beirut, and were carrying out raids on a base of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command in nearby Naameh.
Lebanese security officials said the Lebanese Army was on alert, with soldiers deployed in Southern towns and anti-aircraft batteries in position.
Israeli shelling targeted a broad swath of territory on the Lebanese side of the border, with several forest fires reported as a result.

The most violent air raids targeted four bridges that link Bint-Jbeil, Tyre, and Marjayoun to Sidon and Nabatieh. The Israeli attacks also cut off roads linking Beirut to the South.
Equipment from local municipalities and Lebanese Army bulldozers began clearing the rubble and building a passage to allow citizens to cross from one area to another. ...

Low intensity operations are occurring in Lebanon (well, heavy from the terrorist/media/corporate sponsor/antisemite perspective).
And so begins the second or third puppet war against Israel from the hostile Palestine. The very first words out of the Palestinians mouths once in Gaza was “On to Jerusalem” “Push the Jews into the sea!” Palestinian is there for the Arab world, a place for thugs, home of terrorism and Terrorists funded by Syria and Iran and others – the NYT will of course side with the terrorists. Just another example of ‘peaceful Islam’ at work……….
Does Israel have any M.O.A.B's? If so, drop a few....or 20
May God Bless Israel. The only stable democracy in the Middle and a true ally of the United States.
Good stuff - it's nice to have a place with up to date information.
Maybe while Syria is otherwise engaged, the US can enter the Bakaa Valley and sniff around for those missing Iraqi WMDs.

Let's hope Israel cuts loose and gives the muzzies whats coming to them. I hope they show NO restraint this time.
BTTT and Bookmark
good info...
May God be with Israel in her hour of need. I have often thought, "I would fight for Israel, if they would have a middle-aged old signal corps (been out since 1988!) goyim like me.." But not only is that stupid and unrealistic, but in this case it is uneccessary. God will be coming to the aid of Israel, wait and see.
May the children of Israel turn toward God now for their strength and deliverance. Somehow, in each and every Israeli's heart, I think they already have....
