Rockets hit Lebanon despite cease-fire - Yahoo! News
OH MY GOD… I guess Israel is reaking the cease-fire! Man, I gotta read THIS.
Highlighting the fragility of the peace, Hezbollah guerrillas fired at least 10 Katyusha rockets that landed in southern Lebanon early Tuesday, the Israeli army said, adding that nobody was injured. The army said that none of the rockets, which were fired over a two-hour period, had crossed the border and so it had not responded.

I should have known, its a story from the AP.
Haven’t they learned yet? What silver hammer needs to drop on their heads?
Also, this is not a case where the reporter is being “bullied” by the Islamic Fascists, the headline writer is probably safe somewhere in the US.
What, other than the obvious, would cause a headline writer to mislead the audience so much?

I have noticed a theme developing among commentators over the past few days: that the cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hiz’b'Allah is a defeat for Israel.
Does anyone here get the same impression?

I think it is a defeat for Israel and I don’t understand how we could have let it go this far and then pull the rug out from under them.
