Rocket strike kills 12 Israeli soldiers
Hizbollah killed 12 Israeli soldiers on Sunday in its deadliest rocket strike yet and Israeli bombs killed 19 Lebanese civilians as Lebanon rejected a draft U.N. resolution to end the 26-day-old war. More Hizbollah rockets hit the northern Israeli city of Haifa, killing at least one person and wounding many more, medics said. A police commander told Israel Radio that a rocket slammed into two adjacent houses, causing them to partly collapse. Several people were trapped in the rubble. In the Israeli village of Kfar Giladi, a rocket hit a group of Israeli reservists called up for the Lebanon offensive. Medics said 12 were killed and dozens were wounded.
**Soldiers near the scene held their heads and one wept as a military ambulance pulled away. Helicopters landed nearby to fly the badly wounded to hospitals further from the war front. “I don’t recall so many dead ever. This is terrible,” said Ron Valensi, head of the upper Galilee municipal council and a resident of Kfar Giladi, speaking on Channel 2 Television. **
Re: Israel's FM CONCEDES 'It is Impossible to Destroy Hezbollah'
Hezbollah will have excellent public support during a time of war. Bush's popularity was at an all time high as the Afghan and Iraqi conflicts started.
Do you think when the Lebanese wake up and realize that their country is set back a decade or two that there will not be a huge backlash against Hizbullah for getting them into a conflict that has destroyed their country? Everybody is revelling in the pride Hizbulah has for giving Israel a bloody nose. Pride only goes so far when a great deal of the country, mostly Shia are homeless refugees?
It is not like there are not Shia rivals, and Christian and Druze opponents who will pounc upon the idiocy of Hiabullah.
When dawn comes to Lebanon there are going to be some really pi$$ed off people.

Infrastructure structure can be rebuild, especially with the oil wealth of the countries in the region. The math is simple at $75 per barrel this wouldn’t even take 40 days for recovery. However the taxpayer’s money have to be really earned now with western economies already close to recessions. The real question is breaking the myth of Zionist invincibility, breaking their spirit is the real accomplishment here.
There should be no cease-fire etc. UN is the thing of the past; let the war go on until there is comprehensive peace agreement between Zionists and their Muslim neighbors. To begin with Zionists shall move back to 1967 borders, return all the stolen land, dismantle all illegal settlements and Jerusalem shall become an international city for Muslims, Christians and Jews to worship the way they like. No question of promised people and Jerusalem being the eternal capital of Zionists entity.
Peace and justice for all is the real answer.

Re: Israel’s FM CONCEDES ‘It is Impossible to Destroy Hezbollah’
**Israel’s current military campaign is a direct parallel of Bush’s invasion of Iraq. The Israeli generals are already noting that Hezbollah’s military is far more formidable than anticipated, that U.S. allies in the region are already taking wide distance from the United States and Israel (note the Iraqi government’s support of Lebanon and now that of the Saudi government), and soon will discover that the Israeli public’s support is more fragile than expected. Already the Israeli government is reluctant to send land troops into Lebanon, largely because of what it thinks will be the reaction of its own people inside Israel. Israel is heading towards a humiliating truce arrangement.
What the Israeli governments do not realize is that neither Hamas nor Hezbollah need Israel. It is Israel that needs them, and needs them desperately. If Israel wants not to become a Crusader state that is in the end extinguished, it is only Hamas and Hezbollah that can guarantee the survival of Israel. It is only when Israel is able to come to terms with them, as the deeply-rooted spokespersons of Palestinian and Arab nationalism, that Israel can live in peace. **

Lebanese had political differences with Hezbollah; there is possibility of Lebanese people blaming the mass murder carried out by Israel on Hezbollah. After the escalation of Israel, forget Lebanese people, it would be a miracle for Israel to have any sort of International respect what so ever. They have stooped themselves even lower than “terrorists”.

More admissions of failure against Hezbollah from the Israeli political-military establishment.
Israeli army says Hizbollah far from defeated
The Israeli army acknowledged on Monday that the Lebanese guerrilla group Hizbollah was far from defeated despite nearly a month of fierce Israeli air, sea and ground assaults. “Crushing Hizbollah is not like ordering pizza. It takes time,” Brigadier General Yossi Kuperwasser told a news conference in Jerusalem a day after Hizbollah rockets killed 15 Israelis in the deadliest day of the war for the Jewish state. In a wide-ranging assessment, Kuperwasser said Israel had inflicted serious damage on Hizbollah but the group still possessed thousands of short-range rockets and hundreds of longer-range weapons. He defended the region’s mightiest army for its tactics against Hizbollah, suggesting political considerations had contributed to its failure to deliver a stronger blow to a group many Israelis had long considered a ragtag band. Kuperwasser, until recently head of the army’s intelligence research department, said Israeli assaults had taken a heavy toll on Hizbollah’s infrastructure and rocket stockpiles He said they had killed more than 200 of the group’s fighters since the war started on July 12 with the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border Hizbollah raid. Kuperwasser said Israel had also made significant progress carving out a swathe of southern Lebanon to quell rocket fire. Holding turf near the border is widely seen as Israel’s strategy before any international peace force is deployed.
But taking a more cautious tone than some politicians who have stressed the army’s successes in Lebanon, Kuperwasser conceded there was little chance of completely eliminating Hizbollah’s rocket-launching capability any time soon. “We didn’t finish the problem. They still have rockets and they’re going to use them,” he said. Some Israeli officials have said that up to 80 percent of Hizbollah’s longer-range missiles have been destroyed. Western diplomats believe that figure is overstated, and Kuperwasser steered clear of any precise estimate, saying only that longer-range rockets and their launchers had been hit to an extent much greater than Hizbollah had thought possible. Kuperwasser acknowledged the military had not been fully prepared for the Lebanon war but denied it had underestimated Hizbollah’s capabilities. He made clear, however, that weeks of combat against the guerrillas had filled out the picture of a formidable enemy, which he described as well-trained, well-organized and well-equipped with Iranian and Syrian rockets. Hizbollah’s ability to inflict casualties on Israeli forces and keep up rocket strikes has won the admiration of many in the Arab world. Israeli officials say Hizbollah relies on using Lebanese civilians as human shields. Kuperwasser signaled that further progress on the ground would depend on decisions by Israel’s political leadership. It faces a looming U.N. vote on a ceasefire proposal and growing condemnation for mounting Lebanese civilian casualties.
