Israeli Hit Hezbollah

The Israeli's strike back:

JERUSALEM -- Israeli warplanes struck in Lebanon on Tuesday in what Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz described as the largest-scale Israeli response to cross-border attacks by Lebanese guerrillas since 2000.

Mofaz spoke just hours after the army said Israeli fighter jets attacked a command post of Hezbollah guerrillas in south Lebanon before dawn Tuesday and bulldozers entered Lebanon to demolish a Hezbollah post near the village of Ghajar.

Hezbollah and the Lebanese army denied Israeli warplanes struck in southern Lebanon on Tuesday.

On Monday, Israeli warplanes struck a number of Hezbollah targets, Israeli security officials said.

The Israeli strikes came after the Lebanese guerrilla group Hezbollah fired mortars and rockets Monday toward the Israeli-Lebanese border, wounding 11 Israeli soldiers and damaging a house in an Israeli border community. The shelling sent thousands of Israeli civilians into bombshelters. Israeli return fire killed four Hezbollah guerrillas.

It should be interesting to see how this plays out as Syria has lost influence and the Lebanese are not up to policing these terrorist organizations.
