Hizbullah threatens petrochemical installations
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hizbullah threatened Sunday to attack petrochemical installations in Israel's third-largest city of Haifa.
In a statement read on its TV station Al-Manar, Hizbullah said its military wing fired rockets on the port city but deliberately avoided hitting the petrochemical installations.
"The Islamic Resistance warns the Zionist of committing any new folly because it (Hizbullah) deliberately avoided the petrochemical installations," said the statement. "But next time, it (Hizbullah) will not spare anything in Haifa and its surroundings."
I don't buy it. They missed, plain and simple.
OPINION: I hope you're right. I view their little press-release as jihad propaganda.
The real question is, "What IS in hizballah's arsenal?"

PM: Attack will have 'far-reaching consequences'
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Sunday that there would be "far-reaching consequences" for a rocket attack launched by Lebanese guerillas on the city of Haifa that killed eight people and wounded dozens of others.
"Nothing will deter us," he said at the beginning of his government's weekly Cabinet meeting. "There will be far-reaching consequences in our relations on the northern border and in the area in general."
Olmert also said that Israel's offensive in Lebanon does not intend to harm Lebanese civilians.
Since the fighting began five days ago, 106 Lebanese were killed in Israeli airstrikes, most of them civilians.
"We want to live our lives in peace and in good neighborly relations," he said. "Unfortunately, there are those who misinterpret our wishes for peace in the wrong way. We have to no intention of bending in the face of these threats."
"Our enemies are trying to disrupt the lifestyle in Israel. They will fail," he said.
FOX's Mike Tobin just did a live report and mentioned what they were aiming at but I didn't quite catch what he said (was distracted). Sorry. I'd like to know what he said so hopefully someone will answer.
I don't think it was a bus depot, but a railroad yard facility. Train service has been suspended beyond a point south of Haifa.
TURN ON CNN ------- LIVE IN HAIFA
Hit railway depot, was aiming towards oil refinery, according to CNNi guy on live now...
any more info about the condition of Nasarallah?
YEP! Now say Israel moves into Lebanon directly north of Haifa. That's where the Katushyas are. What kind of anti tank mines and other traps await them? I see a Muslim war psychology here of luring Israel into ambushes and traps
Prayers for all.
any more info about the condition of Nasarallah? ..........
Not yet. My bet is he's alive and well. CNN International is covering the rocketing of Haifa
I say you are thinking out of the box and that's a good thing. I hope the IDF/IAF is too.
CNN--HAIFA
8 dead 6 seriously injured. The K rockets made a lucky hit on a workshop (factory?)
Meir Kahane predicted this 30 years ago.
How right he was.
