Now you've "demonstrated" that it's "rare"...your original post that I contended stated in bold letters that it had never happened. My original statement: "In the six years since Israel withdrew, there have been frequent border incidents between Hezbollah and the Israeli army, and cease-fire violations of the type committed now by Hezbollah, have occurred before, initiated by either side, and more frequently by Israel. None of the previous incidents resulted in Katyusha shelling of the north of Israel, which has enjoyed full calm since Israel's withdrawal." Your incident had nothing to do with Hezbollah. My statement still stands. And you still haven't explained how one rocket attack (for which we have no background, it could easily have been provoked) morphs into this: it was all pretty generic stuff that happens everyday in the ME Reading this statement in light of the facts, it appears that you are prejudiced on the topic of the Middle East, so you simply accept facts that fit your preconceived notions and reject facts that don't fit. Your rhetoric about Jihadists confirms this suspicion. Hezbollah explicitly stated that they did not want war, and they did not bomb. Israel explicitly stated that they did want war, and they began bombing. It really is that simple. Tom
