Well? We've heard that there's been skirmishes w/Syrian troops already, and I heard there's been something or other happening between Israel and the Palestinians...what do you think of the developing Lebanese threat?

[Excerpt]
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has spoken of his fear of a "second front" in the Middle East, as further violence flared between Israeli forces and Lebanese Hezbollah guerrillas.

In what is being described as one of the biggest attacks in two years, Hezbollah targeted Israeli outposts in the disputed Shebaa region using rockets and mortar rounds.

There are also reports of Katyusha rockets being fired at northern Israel early on Wednesday.

In retaliation, Israeli warplanes raided suspected guerrilla positions.
