Israel Hits Lebanon, Targets Iran
The Daily Star - Opinion Articles - Israel hits Lebanon, but thinks Iran: "Since May 2000, the Israeli military has been chomping at the bit to equal the score with Hizbullah, which has often delighted at taunting and threatening Israel, as with a border-mounted billboard in Hebrew and Arabic that reads: 'If you return, we return.' Border-area security was effectively ceded to Hizbullah by the Lebanese government, despite loud objections from Israel, the United States and the Security Council, which demanded the disarming of Hizbullah in Resolution 1559 in 2005."
