Hizbollah launched a sustained attack against Israeli soldiers and civilians across the internationally recognized border with Lebanon. The Jerusalem Post reports 11 Israeli soldiers wounded and 4 terrorists killed.

Somebody saw this coming.

Mr. Mofaz added there are dozens of other intelligence warnings pointing to terrorist activities, as well as information that Hizbullah is planning a qualitative terror attack against Israel.

Actually, later that afternoon, Israel's leaders were getting ready.

No news of these attacks in the U.S media that I can find.

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Defense Minister Sha'ul Mofaz took part in a security briefing Sunday afternoon in response to intelligence information about irregular Hizbullah maneuvers in the Har Dov region.

The IDF raised the alert along Israel's northern border with Lebanon two weeks ago due to concern over attacks from the Hizbullah terror group. Precautionary measures went so far as to limit hiking near the border for fear of kidnappings.
