BEIRUT, Lebanon - Tens of thousands of Lebanese jammed bomb-cratered roads Monday as they returned to still-smoldering scenes of destruction after a tenuous cease-fire ended 34 days of vicious combat between Israel and Hezbollah.

Highlighting the fragility of the peace, Hezbollah guerrillas fired at least 10 Katyusha rockets that landed in southern Lebanon early Tuesday, the Israeli army said, adding that nobody was injured. The army said that none of the rockets, which were fired over a two-hour period, had crossed the border and so it had not responded.

What a surprise!!

Not a suprise at all. Hezbollah claimed before the cease-fire that Israeli soldiers still inside lebanon are 'fair game'. Just as Olmert claimed Hezbollah is still a group they will go after. The cease fire simply means Israel has called a halt to collective punishment, and so has Hezbollah. The fighting is certain to continue, just on a smaller scale. Until, if at all, an international force occupies South lebanon, there will certainly be skirmishes between the parties. The last thirty days were a waste, things are worse now.
