Terrorists in Lebanon launched a rocket attack into Israel today.
But the BBC’s headline could not possibly be more ridiculous: Lebanon border clash breaks out.
In fact, get a load of all these wire services headlines for the story, almost every one of them focused on or emphasizing the Israeli response instead of the attack that prompted it: Yahoo! News Search Results for lebanon.
UPDATE at 5/28/06 8:36:10 am:
Ha’aretz reports that Hizballah launched a large scale attack along the length of the northern border.
United Nations peace-keepers brokered a cease-fire early Sunday evening between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, ending a day of cross-border clashes in which an Israel Defense Forces soldier was moderately wounded and two militants in Lebanon were killed.
The soldier, from an anti-aircraft unit, was airlifted to Rambam Hospital in Haifa in stable condition.
IDF troops and guerillas from Hezbollah traded heavy fire across the length of the Israel-Lebanon border Sunday, in clashes which began when militants fired Katyusha rockets at an IDF base in northern Israel, in a pre-dawn strike.
