Hezbollah UAV explosive leaves 18 injured

In a region where even a fast-food meal can become a political statement, the path to peace seems as complex as ever.

The military says IDF soldiers have fired at least four gunmen during search operations in the Nablus area for a terrorist who shot at Israeli civilians at a West Bank outpost today.

Meanwhile, about 15 projectiles were launched at Israel from Lebanon, 10 of which were intercepted.

A report today in the New York Times quoted senior IDF officials as saying Israel can no longer pursue both the war and the return of the hostages.

The Heharim or The Mountains Brigade was formed as part of an effort to adapt to changing circumstances along the northern border.

Civilians on both sides of the border wait and watch, their lives suspended between an uneasy peace and the looming specter of war.

They believe a ceasefire is Israel's best course of action currently, even if it means that Hamas stays in power.

New IDF assessments provide a clearer picture of the location and condition of Palestinian non-combatants, piercing the fog of war.

The IDF continues to operate in the north, center, and south of the Gaza Strip, eliminating terrorists and seizing weapons.

The Palestinian effort reconnects the Strip to the Israeli electrical grid in order to operate a sewage station and a desalination plant.

Only members of the military wings of Hamas and Islamic Jihad can be targeted for elimination.
