...everybody in Lebanon was pleased, as there is a price to pay. From the Christian town of Marjayoun just north of the Israeli border, crashing booms of Israeli shellfire exploded in a nearby valley at the foot of Shebaa Farms mountainside, an Israeli- occupied strip of territory that Israel captured from Syria in the 1967 war. Israeli aircraft also destroyed three key bridges across the Litani River, cutting off much of southeast Lebanon from the capital. One Lebanese soldier and two civilians were killed when Qasimiyeh Bridge, six miles north of Tyre, was blown up. Lebanese troops blocked the roads...
...attack itself began around nine o'clock with Hizballah's traditional cross-border tactic - rockets and mortars launched from southern Lebanon began raining down on northern Israel. Then, in the ensuing chaos, a number of Hizballah foot soldiers crossed the border and ambushed a two-vehicle Israeli military patrol, killing three of the soldiers and dragging two others back into Lebanon.

His right foot was mangled-bits of sneaker mixed in with clotted blood, bone, cartilage and tendon. His left leg was hanging by skin. The jagged stump of his tibia stuck out just below the knee-pretty much what you would expect from the wheel of a subway train. Even in Harlem, this was pretty...
...There is very little pride in doing a surgical amputation.There was no question that the leg was gone-we have ways of telling if one can possibly be saved. The important case was really his right foot; the outcome here would determine the kid's ability to walk. It was a long and tedious case with lots of debridement, our word for cleaning. And it was sad and late at night, so we talked. I eventually asked what exactly "token sucker" meant...
