...Lebanon, who live mostly in the south and the Dahiya suburb of Beirut, areas Israel has hit hard. The bombardment has driven an estimated half a million Lebanese from their homes; many will have only rubble to return to. The strikes on infrastructure are meant not only to prevent Syria and Iran from resupplying Hizballah with rockets and launchers but also to warn Lebanon that Jerusalem can set back the country's restoration even further if it chooses. Of the estimated 300 who have died so far in Lebanon, most have been civilians. For its part, Hizballah was taken aback...
...their extensive coverage of his business ties to Abramoff, his friend from their days running the College Republicans in the early 1980s. For a high-profile religious conservative like Reed, the stories of being paid millions by one Indian tribe to run a religious-based antigambling campaign to prevent another tribe from opening a rival casino made him look like something worse than a criminal--a hypocrite.

...evidenced by the 23 tons of bombs dropped on a suspected bunker in Beirut Wednesday night, the Israelis are heavily targeting Hizballah's leadership. But the IDF is doing its brutal best to reduce the frequency of the shorter range rocket fire and prevent worse-case scenarios such as a long-range missile strike on Tel Aviv. Planes and drones buzz above Lebanon all hours of the day and night, trying to destroy as many rockets and launchers as possible, or at the very least keep launch teams far from the border. Roads, bridges, and gas stations have been bombed...
