Hizbollah rockets pepper Israel
Taking lessons from Dick Cheney, I guess.

BEIRUT - Hizbollah fired more rockets into Israel on Wednesday than on any previous day of the 22-day-old war, killing one Israeli and wounding 123 after helicopter-borne commandos launched Israel's deepest raid into Lebanon.

---

Israeli sources said around 10,000 soldiers were now battling Hizbollah in southern Lebanon. The United Nations force in the area reported heavy exchanges of fire, with bombings in some areas and intensive shelling across the south.

---

Olmert called for an international combat force to implement a UN resolution calling for Hizbollah to be disarmed, saying Israel had already destroyed much of the group's military power.

Soon after he spoke, one of at least 206 rockets launched by Hizbollah landed just inside the West Bank after flying further than any fired at Israel in the past three weeks.

2. Can you go and get them back?
That's a new type indeed! Like Reagan's Recallable Missiles.
