Israel Must Stop Lebanon from Becoming the New Gaza
(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - Unlike previous incidents of rocket fire from Lebanon on Israel in recent months that were launched from improvised launchers, Wednesday's attack was carried out by a more precise military-grade, multi-barreled Katyusha rocket launcher positioned on a truck located north of the Litani River, near the town of Mahmoudiya, which is controlled by Hizbullah. The road to the village was bombed in a subsequent Israeli airstrike, cutting access to the town where steep terrain makes any alternative access impossible. The bombed road is a vital transportation route in the Marjayoun district. Hizbullah forces and Lebanese troops deployed in the south could easily prevent such attacks by Palestinian factions but don't. The airstrike, the first in southern Lebanon in eight years, sends a clear message to Hizbullah and the Lebanese that Israel will not hesitate to strike infrastructure in Lebanon if its sovereignty is violated.
