Escalating Conflict Between Israel and Lebanon

CNN.com - Israel bombards Beirut�amid spiraling attacks - Jul 13, 2006

Bad news out of the middle east generally continues, as Israel is escalating a conflict with Lebanon/Syria due to some of the leaders of those countries being backers of Hezbollah. The conflict began to be exacerbated by each side retaliating for the other capturing prisoners, and has escalated with rocket attacks against Israeli sites and Israel not bombing the major airport in Beirut. This cannot lead anywhere good, quite frankly. A war is always to be avoided when possible, and I hope that people will pray that war will not be the result here, and that all parties involved will work toward a calming of hostilities.
