Deadly Hezbollah attack on Haifa

It is the worst attack on Israel since the violence began

Rockets fired by Hezbollah militants in Lebanon have killed at least eight people and wounded dozens of others in the coastal Israeli city of Haifa.
It is the worst attack on Israel since the clashes with Lebanon began.
Israeli jets have again hit targets in the south of Beirut as they continue a fifth day of air strikes, which have killed at least 100 Lebanese people.
The Israeli air raids began after Hezbollah seized two Israeli soldiers.
In other developments:

• Iran's foreign ministry denies Israeli allegations that it supplied missiles to Hezbollah and warns Israel it will incur "unimaginable losses" if it attacks fellow Hezbollah supporters Syria
• The Israeli military recovers the bodies of three sailors missing after their ship was hit by a Hezbollah missile on Friday, bringing the number of Israeli troops killed in the Lebanon offensive to 12
• Lebanon's Prime Minister Fouad Siniora appeals for a UN-supervised ceasefire to end the Israeli raids, but the UN Security Council fails to agree on the issue
• Israel raises rocket alert threat as far south as Tel Aviv

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has warned the attack on Haifa would have "far-reaching consequences".
"Our government is determined to do everything necessary to reach our objectives. Nothing will prevent us," Mr Olmert said.

Voices from the conflict
Who are Hezbollah?


It is the second time Haifa has been hit by Hezbollah rockets in recent days.
In a first salvo on Saturday at least 13 rockets were reported to have landed in the city.
The eight people who died were part of a train repair crew working at a railway depot.
The BBC's Wyre Davies at the depot says that the rocket, believed to be a Katyusha rocket, crashed through the roof.
About 20 people were also injured.
Our correspondent says that the devastation is still apparent, with pools of blood everywhere.
Second wave
According to Israel Radio a second wave of four rockets then hit, one landing in a city street. People driving on the roads in Haifa reportedly abandoned their cars as they fled from the onslaught.
Israeli war planes have continued to attack Beirut


Following the depot attack a new barrage of rockets hit to the north of the city in Kiryat Motzkim and Kiryat Haim.
Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for the attacks, saying it was retaliation for the deaths of Lebanese civilians and the destruction of the country's infrastructure during the Israeli air raids.
Israel has carried out a heavy bombing campaign across Lebanon, hitting Hezbollah sites, but also a wide range of civilian targets.
City exodus
The BBC's Ian Pannell in Beirut says that there have already been a number of Israeli air strikes against Lebanese targets on Sunday.
In the southern suburbs of Beirut, Hezbollah's al-Manar TV was attacked.
The station's world news editor Ibrahim al-Moussawai said that staff there had now taken precautions to keep their new broadcasting location from the Israelis.

Day by day: Crisis unfolds


A major power station in Beirut was also attacked. Our correspondent in the city says that the fire engines sent to put out the burning power station ran out of water and there was an appeal on Lebanese TV for local people to go and assist.
There was also a raid in the eastern city of Baalbek, where local Hezbollah leaders were believed to have gathered.
Foreign nationals have been leaving Lebanon to escape the violence. Our correspondent says that at first they were joined by a small number of locals who opted to stay with relatives in areas that were not being targeted or cross the border into Syria. As the violence has escalated the number of locals attempting to flee has grown, but with the Israelis targeting the border areas and nearby roads, this has become increasingly difficult.

Seriously though, Hezbully et al have been launching rockets into Israel for years, sometimes to the tune of hundreds per day while Israel tried every method out there to peacably settle this dispute. There is a time when patience wears thin.

If a group in Mexico was launching rockets into the US, I would hope our government wouldn't wait as long as Israel to remove the source, which in their case is a good 20 years.

Haha, I am not talking about petrol or diesel... crude oil is the one increasing in price. :P

Anyway, it was just a joke, if you are believe that war is going to break out, then the 2 items that will shoot up in prices real fast is probably gold and oil. You can purchase them, but not the physical item.

Personally.... i hope that war will not break out.
It's not easy, esp when people will die and suffer.
I don't understand war, nor do do i understand why is it happening.
