[though I'm not trusting you that you know what they were] I don't feel bad. Look them up in the press stories. But they certainly made the thugs who attacked regret what they'd done. They regretted it so much they still have the two soldiers as prisoners. Which will be top of mind next time they have the bright idea of kidnapping a couple more. It might go something like .... "Hmmm, we might as well kill them where they stand." Oh joy, we showed them kidnappers a thing or two. They'll kill soldiers rather than take them prisoner! That's a victory! jttmab

But they certainly made the thugs who attacked regret what they'd done. Katyusha rockets from Lebanon hit N.Israel town By Benny Dagan Reuters - Sunday, June 17 09:33 pm KIRYAT SHMONA, Israel (Reuters) - Suspected Palestinian fighters in Lebanon hit a northern Israeli town with two Katyusha rockets on Sunday, Lebanese and Israeli officials said. No one was hurt. Lebanon's Hezbollah guerrillas, who fired thousands of Katyushas into Israel a year ago, denied they launched the first such attack since that war. In all, three rockets were fired. Israeli forces did not retaliate and the government made clear it wanted no escalation into another border war. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said the rocket firing had made for a "very disturbing day" but he pointedly stopped short of threatening any Israeli military response. Olmert was speaking in New York at a meeting with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon during a three-day visit to the United States. He will meet President George W. Bush on Tuesday. An Israeli official traveling with Olmert said the firing was apparently carried out by Palestinians and not by Hezbollah. A Lebanese security source also blamed Palestinians, though any motivation was unclear.... uk.news.yahoo.com What? Palestinians? How about Olmert would rather blame Palestinians rather than Hizbullah to avoid the added embarrassment of a failed objective of the Israeli/Lebanon conflict? Or it could be as it appears. Israel doesn't mind Palestinian Katushas as much as Hizbullah Katushas. jttmab
