JERUSALEM, July 31 (Reuters) - Israel said on Monday it launched air strikes in eastern Lebanon overnight but that the raids occurred before the start of a 48-hour suspension of aerial bombardments in the south.

Earlier, Lebanese security sources said Israel had launched attacks after the suspension went into effect and that at least two air strikes hit roads near the Lebanese border with Syria in the early hours of Monday.

That does it. Good night all.

1. Yeah, sometimes the only thing that aids in any sleep at all...

2. What happened

to the 48 hour deal??

[uppityperson]

5. That was only for South of Lebanon.

48 hours of not bombing SOUTHERN Lebanon only. And they are trying to work a deal to have a 24 hour period for civilians in the SOUTH of Lebanon be able to evacuate. Though how they will do that is a mystery. And where they would go since the rest of Lebanon is still a FIRE zone I do not know. Oh yes, and the 48 hour not bombing SOUTH Lebanon can be broken IF Israel thinks someone (Hezbullah)is preparing to launch rockets or attack Israel.

The cease fire was like Mr.bush. Not a lie, but a deception.

7. Thanks for the info.

I just assumed that aerial bombardment was ceased throughout Lebanon for 48 hours........and not only the southern section.

6. now I am gone, had to do 1 more check in.

It will happen whether I stay up and agonize or not and I have to be ready for whatever tomorrow here brings. damn them all, anyone who kills or hurts others.

8. I'm famous for the last check in too....

"anyone who kills or hurts others"... yep... get sleep and try to get through to another person if you can tomorrow. Thats something we all can do. Oh, and btw... sweet dreams, No sarcasm... I really mean it.

10. LOL...

Ran across this thread while getting one last check in before bed ;)

-> I am so &#$%& frustrated with war and lies and all that. argh. <-

You know, uppityperson, I couldn't agree with you more. When I first rode vicariously, with the late David Bloom of NBC News, across the Iraqi desert from Kuwait during the land invasion of Iraq, I felt like the cavalry, riding in to save the Iraqi people, and ourselves, from the evil Saddam.

Now, I've just had about much war as I can take.

11. Agreements, security council dictates, UN resolutions, mean nothing.

To Israel, to the United States. Just scraps of paper.

12. they are denying they broke the 48 hour agreement-it hadn't started yet
