Israelis looking at ground invasion

This isn't really a surprise if you look at the Israeli operations thus far and the bombing patterns, but still, here're a few articles supporting the idea that the Israelis are about to go in.

(AP) Israel preparing Lebanon ground offensive

(Reuters) Israel warns Lebanese to flee

(Ha'aretz) Army set to call up thousands of reservists (for deployment to Gaza freeing up frontline troops for the north.)

A warning shot for the UN to stay out of the way, (AP) UN post hit in Israeli-Hezbullah fighting.

Update: (AP) Israel massing troops on the border

  • There are some suggestions Israel is giving this move a lot of thought.
    Now they have found out how well Helzbolla are dug into caves in Southern Lebanon, and how well armed they are, it might be back to bombing half built mosques.
    So much for the much trumpeted Israeli intellegence services.
