They've been firing mortar rounds across the border.
What kind of 'missles' and their range is an important detail.

Israel says missiles fired at it from Lebanon

    JERUSALEM, April 4 (Reuters) - The Israeli army said on 
Thursday missiles had been fired from across the border with 
Lebanon at the Mount Hermon area in the Israeli-occupied Golan 
Heights. 
    "We have reports of a few missiles launched from Lebanon at 
areas of the Hermon. We don't know of any damage," the army said 
in a brief statement. 
    Israel has accused Lebanese Hizbollah guerrillas of firing 
two Katyusha rockets that landed in northern Israel in recent 
days and threatened fierce retaliation if the Iranian-backed 
group launches another attack.  
    Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, blaming Iran and Syria for the 
attacks, said earlier on Thursday Israel was "ready and prepared 
for all actions that we will take as required".

It seems that a Mid-East War might be looming.

[TBP]

I'm sure Colin Powell will pop up any minute now to tell Israel to restrain itself and not attack.

The way I was raised, it's not polite to ask someone else to do what you won't do yourself.

...is this same as the katusha's??

'Missile' can mean anything thrown or shot but in the context of rocket-propelled thingys, 'rockets' have no guidance system while 'missiles' do. The Katusha is a 'rocket'.

[Lazamataz]

According to George W. Bush, Israel should pay Lebonan to replace those missiles.

"This just in....Hizbollah guerrillas leaving Lebanon"

[HamiltonJay]

That's it.

I've had it.. Tap the damned oil fields under the gulf of mexico, screw the enviro-terrorists, and lets just flatten the middle east and get it over with.

[Neenah]

The doctrin that's part of the Koran is ...it is a duty to get the land back forAllah. No peace agreement will remove that. The Arabs will die for that. This has become on the level of blasphemy.

The Koran says God is finished with the Jew, and the Jew is to be a servant to the Muslim. This is a most serious cause of war that NO PEACE TREATY WILL SETTLE. THIS IS OVER JERUSALEM !!

There can be no long lasting peace. They are trying to eliminate Israel. Arafat (or any other leader for the Arabs ) will get as much land as he can, and then take them over. Diplomacy will not stop that. If Israel gives up the land, they will not be able to defend themselves. The Prophetic Senerio is that Israel will never be defeated again.

All Israel's electronic servalence is in the Golan Heights, and if you give it away, the Musllim world will over power them. Arafat has said " Jerusalem belongs to the Arab..and NO NEGOTIATIONwill ever suceed."

PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM

Probably Katyushas, but it is worth nothing that Iran has given Hizballah longer-range rockets, capable of reaching central Israel from launch postions along the Lebanon border. So far, Hizballah has not used the longer-range rockets against Israel. BTW, Israel is supposedly deploying an anti-rocket defense system along its northern border, to deal with the rocket threat. At last report, testing of the system (developed with the U.S.) was complete, and deployment was supposed to begin soon...

[rbmillerjr]

bump for the Hizbollah (read Iran) message for peace.

I keep insisting that Iraq is effectively neutered and Iran is the Islamic center of terrorism for the whole world.

[Terriergal]

Time for Israel to back off I guess.
