“Israel is not afraid of fighting,” the Israeli prime minister said today in his wood-panelled office, sitting under images of Ariel Sharon and Yitzhak Rabin.

Olmert called the captured Hezbollah members “tasty fishes”.

The Israeli leader spoke calmly of his determination to press ahead with the offensive, which he said has already significantly “upset all the strategic plans of Iran and Hezbollah in the Middle East”.

Olmert lashed out at Syria, condemned Hezbollah, defended President Bush and predicted the crisis’ outcome will “create a new momentum between us and the Palestinians”.
