New Threat From Lebanon Worries Israel

* [Hassan Nasrallah] warned Israel that Hezbollah is now stronger than it was prior to the last 34 days of confrontation in South Lebanon. He claimed that he has in his possession more than 20,000 rockets, compared to the 12,000 that he had before the confrontation. Israel does not have credible intelligence to confirm this claim.

[Peter MacKay] guesstimated a third of them are in the south part of the country where bombing from Israel precludes any rescue of Canadians or safe overland passage to Beruit.

War Personal for Lion Rb

"I've been told that I was taken to a bomb shelter as an infant," [Mark Nohra] said yesterday, following the Lions' practice. "I can't watch what's going on there now. The coverage on CNN is so biased." "I was angry, so angry that it was hard to focus on the football game," Nohra explained. "I wasn't effective. I was too wrapped up in all this madness that's going on. What is a stupid football game compared to this? It's nothing. It's something I've had to deal with because I couldn't do my j...

Strategists Ponder Using 'Deterrence' Against Hamas

Although Israel had declared the Hamas-run Gaza Strip an "enemy entity," it is expected that the ban will be lifted very soon. Even Monday, 70 sick Palestinians crossed from the Gaza Strip into Israel for medical treatment in Israeli hospitals. Israeli sources admit that there is a shortage of medicine in the Gaza Strip, not because of the ban, but because the Hamas government has been delaying for months payments to Israeli suppliers. Since the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in the s...

Confusion Reigns in Beirut

"They're on the list," said Dr. Ghassan Joundi of Winnipeg, whose wife Rima and daughter Talia have been waiting to leave one of the ships the Canadian government hired to get its citizens out of Beirut. He got the good news yesterday. "They're on their own for getting into Beirut," he said. "It's too risky." "It was a shame, a disaster and a disgrace, how the Canadian government treated their citizens. It was very badly organized," [Nicole Khoury], 39, said in an e-mail written from her pare...
