Thread Name: BS: Is Hezbollah Winning?
Subject: RE: BS: Is Hezbollah Winning?
Someone back along this lengthy thread pointed out that Israel destroyed large stockpiles of Hezbollah weapons (ie. rockets) - and indeed they did, by prompting Hezbollah to fire as many of them as they could into Israel at an accelerated rate. That's one way of getting rid of the enemy's stockpiles, I suppose.

I saw on the news yesterday that Isarel has already broken the terms of the Ceasfire by conducting a commando raid deep into Lebanon to supposedly disrupt arms supply line. Apart from the obvious furore that would be caused if Hezbollah raided deep into Israel to cut its arms supplies from the US, it demonstrates yet again how 1) Israel has no regard for formalities like Ceasefires, unless they happen to coincide with Israel's agenda and 2) Isarel has no regard for Lebanese sovereignty. These guys seem determined to keep a war going at all costs. I wonder now that the lebanese army is occupying the southern part of their country, if they will be able to prevail on Isarel to respect their sovereignty and pull out of the Shaaba farms. Don't hold your breath, though.

Meanwhile in Palestine, the West Bank and Gaza strip, Palestinian civilains continue to be killed in Isareli military incursions into refugee camps etc., in a side show to the main war.
