Conflict Expansion

AP News Alert:
JERUSALEM (AP) Israeli ground forces have entered Lebanon, Israeli media report.
This situation isn't getting any bettr either.

Apparently Hezbolluh was encouraged by Hamas's kidnapping of an Israeli soldier and wanted some of IDF's attention too...

UPDATE: AP News Alert:
JERUSALEM (AP) Israeli prime minister says attack on Israel's northern border by Lebanese guerrillas was an "act of war."
This is an interesting approach... Instead of addressing Hezbollah, consider it an attack by the whole country...

Of course, Lebanon should have thrown these Islamofascist terrorists out a long time ago...

UPDATE 2: AP News Alert:
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah says he will not release two captured Israeli soldiers except as part of a prisoner swap.
This is a very dangerous game that Hezbollah is playing here... Isreal isn't likely to give up terrorists for soldiers...and he knows that...

UPDATE 3: AP News Alert:
ROSTOCK, Germany (AP) The United States has blamed Syria and Iran for the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah militants and the ensuing violence.
These same countries keep showing up...hmm...it's almost like there is a pattern here...curious...

UPDATE 4 (7:30PM): AP News Alert:
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) Witnesses say an Israeli airstrike has destroyed the Palestinian foreign ministry in Gaza City.
