Escalation IV

The headlines seem to be a bit less bolder, but the missiles are still flying over the border between Israel and Lebanon.
Israel says they won't accept a cease-fire unless the two IDF soldiers are returned and Hezbollah is made less than a threat. It appears now that Israel is systematically going after Hezbollah targets. They're even attacking some elements of the Lebanese military as well (no surprise as they hold Lebanon responsible for not handling the terrorist situation).

The most troubling news perhaps came yesterday. A truck loaded with long-range missiles was attacked during an Israeli airstrike. The truck was believed to be operated by Hezbollah. And the missiles are believed to come from Iran. Isn't that special?

An interesting plot twist - now even the Arab League has condemned Hezbollah for their rocket attacks on Israel. Sounds like they don't want war. But the Iranians are not Arab.

Evacuations from Beirut began today. Israel can't guarantee anyone's safety within Lebanon. Then again, Israel's not exactly safe, either.

Pray.
