The pride and glory of the Israeli state. So I was watching a report on the pro-Bush, right-wing Lebanese station, LBC-TV. It was about the Israeli raid on Ba`albak. Basically, we learn this: an elite force of 300 Israeli soldiers were in pitch battle against 4 Hizbullah fighters FOR MORE THAN SEVEN HOURS. This reminds me of the good old days in Lebanon: when four Palestinian resistance fighters used to battle a force of 1000 Lebanese army soldiers. But the Israeli raid was a success, according to Israeli media. Not only did it net Hasan Dib Nasrallah, but a pregnant woman was killed on her way to the hospital for delivery. She was shot from the air by Israeli helicopters.
