Plans for a military victory over Hizbullah are a fantasy

Israel's response was justified, but now the international community
must act to save both sides from self-destruction

Hizbullah's surprise blitz against the Galilee, Israel's northern
region, proves - if anyone needed proof - how sensitive and explosive
this region is, and how little it takes to bring it to the brink of
war. Israel has launched a counter-attack, and it has every right to do
so. There is no justification for the large-scale violence that
Hizbullah unleashed this week, from Lebanese territory, on dozens of
peaceful Israeli villages, towns and cities. No country in the world
could remain silent and abandon its citizens when its neighbour strikes
without any provocation.
