Hezbollah Captures 2 Israeli Soldiers
By JOSEPH PANOSSIAN , 07.12.2006, 05:41 AM
The militant group Hezbollah captured two Israeli
soldiers during clashes Wednesday across the border in
southern Lebanon, prompting a swift reaction from
Israel, which sent ground forces into its neighbor to
look for them.
The forces were trying to keep the soldiers' captors
from moving them deeper into Lebanon, Israeli
government officials said on condition of anonymity.
The Israeli military would not confirm the report.
Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert called an
emergency Cabinet meeting and said Lebanese guerrillas
would pay a "heavy price" for Wednesday's attacks.
"These are difficult days for the state of Israel and
its citizens," Olmert said. "There are people ... who
are trying to test our resolve. They will fail and
they will pay a heavy price for their actions."

Israel hits Lebanon after soldiers grabbed By JOSEPH
PANOSSIAN, Associated Press Writer
Wed Jul 12, 4:13 PM ET
BEIRUT, Lebanon - Hezbollah militants crossed into
Israel on Wednesday and captured two Israeli
soldiers. Israel responded in southern Lebanon with
warplanes, tanks and gunboats, and said eight of its
soldiers had been killed in the violence.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert called the
soldiers' capture "an act of war," and his Cabinet
prepared to approve more military action in Lebanon —
a second front in the fight against Islamic militants
by Israel, which already is waging an operation to
free a captured soldier in the Gaza Strip.
Israel, however, appeared determined to win freedom
for its troops with a show of force.

into war propaganda, shown first at

is crucial to our case...
Now, theres no guarantee that all these pieces with his name are by Panossian, and not some sub-editor doing some creative editing. But at least Joseph Panossian should be confronted with this
evidence and made to explain himself.
