Filed by The Ugly American on August 19th, 2006 at 08:57 under Hezbollah/Israeli War

That is the headline at Captain’s Quarters:

Israel has made it clear that they will abide by the cease-fire only to the extent that their partners do the same. In a raid this morning, Israel killed three militants while stopping an arms transfer to Hezbollah:

Israel carried out an overnight raid inside Lebanon aimed at disrupting an arms transfer, the Israeli army says.One soldier died and two were injured in the Bekaa Valley operation, it said. Lebanese sources earlier told Reuters agency that three militants also died.

The incident came hours after UN chief Kofi Annan warned of a “fragile” situation on the ground.

The Israeli commando raid took place near Baalbek, far to the north of Lebanon along the border with Syria. The IDF attacked the convoy and claimed that its mission objectives “were achieved”.

Fuad Siniora, meanwhile, complained that Israel had committed a “naked violation” of the cease-fire agreement. Siniora may want to take care with that accusation. After all, it’s his government that refuses to implement the key portion of the agreement: the disarming of Hezbollah.

This cease-fire is hanging on by a thread. Iran and sycophants Syria and Hezbollah would be wise to quit while they are ahead. Even the weak-knead Olmert has to have his limits.

More from the BBC:

The incident is not being seen in Israel as any sort of breakdown of the ceasefire, but a reinforcement of it, says the BBC’s Rob Norris in Jerusalem.

The resolution said Israel should end all offensive military action and Hezbollah should end all attacks.

Israel has it will continue to carry out such actions until an expanded international military force is in place to prevent Hezbollah’s re-armament.

Liberty and Justice:

Of course Lebanon cried foul immediately, but Siniora et al. have only themselves to blame for this operation: for Israel, the demand to disarm Hizbullah was a major requirement to accept a UN resolution. Now that the Lebanese government has agreed to a ‘compromise’ with Hizbullah, it has, quite clearly, broken its promises.
