"...Investigation following the Hezbollah attack on Israeli military jeeps near the border with Lebanon on Wednesday revealed that terrorists with the Lebanese Shi’ite group launched anti-tank missiles from a distance of at least four kilometers.

"The military vehicles travelled on a civilian road in the village of Ghajar two kilometers away from the border when they came under a heavy Hezbollah ambush, consisting of five to six Kornet missiles, a senior army source said.

"He estimated that the attackers were four to five kilometers away from the vehicles.

"A military D-max vehicle was the first vehicle hit in the attack, prompting all of those inside an IDF jeep behind it to quickly evacuate the vehicle before it too was hit with missiles. The subsequent injuries came from military vehicles nearby.

"The source stressed that the vehicles travelled on a road used jointly by military and civilian traffic, and that civilian cars were also in the vicinity of the attack.

"One house in the village was also struck by a missile in the attack.

"'It's too soon to draw conclusions about whether the vehicles should have been armored,' the source said. 'We will investigate the incident.'

"Two IDF soldiers were killed and seven were injured in the attack."

"The IDF has begun drilling in search for possible tunnels near the norther community of Zir'it, which is situated close to the Lebanese border.

"Military sources on Wednesday said the drilling was being carried out in response to a request by local residents to rule out the possibility of Hezbollah attacks in the area.

"The sources have stressed that no tunnels have been located, and that it is not the first time that the army has launched underground searches in response to requests by local residents.

"Tensions have been high on the norther frontier after a purported Israeli air strike in Syria last Sunday killed an Iranian general and several Lebanese Hezbollah operatives."

Last Sunday Israel committed one of its innumerable acts of war against a neighboring state, and three days later, Hezbollah fired back.

Israel's next election is more than thirty days away.

What happens between now and then could effect millions of human beings living thousands of miles away from the Middle East.
