Israel hit by Hezbollah barrage


Hezbollah fighters have launched more than 230 rockets from Lebanon, the biggest single-day barrage since the conflict began, Israeli officials say.
One person was killed and dozens injured as some rockets landed up to 70km inside Israel, the deepest so far.

The upsurge came as Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Israel had destroyed Hezbollah's infrastructure.

Mr Olmert insisted there would be no ceasefire until an international force was deployed in southern Lebanon.

"I said I'd be ready to enter a ceasefire when the international forces, not will be ready, but will be deployed," Mr Olmert said of the timetable for a halt to the violence.

The hail of Hezbollah rockets came after Israeli troops raided Baalbek, a Hezbollah stronghold in north-east Lebanon, seizing five people they said were Hezbollah fighters. Hezbollah said they were civilians.

One rocket killed a man near the town of Nahariya on the west coast, bringing the number of Israeli civilians killed since the conflict started to 19.

" ....................... "

A Hezbollah spokesman, Ghalib Abu Zeinab, said in an interview with the BBC Arabic Service that the latest attacks showed that Hezbollah was unbroken.

"The rockets that have been raining down since this morning... and the firing of a missile over a distance of 70km, all this proves that the Lebanese resistance still has a high capability, including a missile capability," he said.

Maybe I've just been spoiled by earlier wars but it seems to me that there aren't all that many people being killed on either side for the amount of ordinance being expended.

The name of this thread should be "Hezbollah Unbroken and Uneffective".

If you can launch over 230 missles into a country in one day and kill only 1 person, you suck with missles.

Furthermore, the conflict has lasted over three weeks and only 19 people were killed in Isreal (thank God). That comes out to less than one person a day.

Hell, Isreal can kill over 60 people in one strike. Now that's called being effective.

Note: I am well aware of the fact that "Uneffective" isn't a word and that it should be "Ineffective". I was merely keeping with the title of the thread.

Well, they are described as "rockets" which generally implies they are not guided missiles. They may also have been intended to destroy buildings or equipment instead of killing people.
