Israel Turns Up The Heat

So, it looks like things are heating up between Israel and Hezbollah. Fox News reports:

Israeli warplanes destroyed the residence and office of Hezbollah's leader Friday as it tightened its grip on Lebanon to punish the guerrilla group over the capture of two Israeli soldiers.

Apparently Hezbollah isn't going to be friendly to Israel anymore, either (major sarcasm there):

In an audiotape aired on Hezbollah's Al-Manar television less than an hour after the Beirut attack on his house, Nasrallah addressed himself to Israelis, saying: "You wanted an open war and we are ready for an open war."

Hezbollah then embarrassed itself by saying "Look at the warship that has attacked Beirut, while it burns and sinks before your very eyes. " Israel later reported minor damage had been done to a warship by rocket fire. Not quite sinking and burning...

I'm glad to see that Israel is finally stepping up its defense against terrorism. Maybe once they destroy Hezbollah they'll move on to Hamas, the PLO, and Iran.
