Blockade

As Hezbollah continues rocket attacks on Israeli towns, Israel has imposed a complete air and sea blockade on Lebanon, bombed Beirut airport and the Hezbollah television station and has hit the Foreign Ministry building in Gaza. Apparently, Prime Minister Olmert wasn't kidding when he talked about responding to "acts of war."

I'll say one thing for the Israelis, they may have their faults, but once they start to move, they don't do things by halves.

Update: Hezbollah is apparently trying to widen the war by moving the captured IDF soldiers to Iran.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
