48-hour bombing halt almost immediately goes by the boards
when israel makes a statement like this, you can pretty well figure that they aren't going to stick by their word...
and, sure enough, they didn't... like i've said repeatedly, israel is totally and completely out of control...
if the only perceived solution to world problems is bombing each other into dust, we are in terribly deep shit...

and, sure enough, they didn't... like i've said repeatedly, israel is totally and completely out of control...
Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes in southern Lebanon on Monday, hours after agreeing to temporarily halt raids while investigating a bombing that killed nearly 60 Lebanese civilians, mostly women and children seeking shelter.
