Israel’s News Blog Magazine: Daily Stories Video and PhotosKatyusha missiles were fired today at the Israeli settlements in the north. One resident, a forty years old woman was killed when a missile hit her bedroom. Twenty-three others were injured. The Israel bombed tonight bridges and infrastructures in Lebanon, including the international airport of Beirut. The operation, which was nicknamed “Rightful pay” has escalated after the goverment’s emergency meeting yesterday.
In the meantime Hizballa admitted of firing new kind of missiles at Israel, Raad missiles. The word “Raad” is in Arabic and translate into deterring. These new missiles have a longer range then Katyusha missiles and make more damage.
Israel raised the level of alertness to level C, the last level before a national emergency. Aside from fighting Hizballa in the north, Israel is still fighting Hamas in the Gaza strip as well.
Reserves were sent for to reinforce the forces.
This new round of violence started with Hamas’ abduction of the soldier Gilad Shalit, during a raid on an IDF post in which three other soldiers were killed. Then it was escalated after Hizballa has also broke the international border and kidnapped two other soldiers who were patrolling the border, killing eight others.
Some in Israel wondered about the relative silence of the world at the Palestinian and Hizballa’s violation of international border and law, as but peripheral condemnation by the Europeans and the UN, no real action has been taken or even plotted to be taken against the offenders. Some voices in the UN accused Israel of exercising to much power. It appears that violations of international law are acceptable, when they are performed against Israel.
In coordination with the war in the north, many Israeli web sites were attacked and damaged by Arab hackers. The sites were deformed and messages against Israel were written in them. Israeli hackers are reported to have already retaliated by doing the same to high grade Arab sites.

Not in the USA!
Along with the US veto (makes me proud
), I’m hoping to see some formal condemnations set forth. Or perhaps the UN will just leave it’s mask on the floor!
I am just so very thankful we have George Bush for a President! He knows what’s up.
I received my Seal of Solomon Jammie shirt from your OJ shop today. I will be praying without ceasing!
Maybe we should gift our leaders with one.
Sing praises…God is good and He is in control!
