[E]ven if Lebanese and international forces do cover southern Lebanon, 1701 only bans "offensive" Israeli military action, and it's unclear exactly how that's being defined. If Israel strikes weapons being transported, is that offensive or defensive? What about missile launchers being set up? Etc. And of course all it will take is a small incident -- from either side -- for the cycle of recrimination to begin anew, whether in localized skirmishes or broader flareups.CNN today, regarding the Israeli raid that the UN says violated the cease-fire:
Israel defended Saturday's operation, saying it was aimed at preventing the transfer of weapons from Iran and Syria to Hezbollah, an action barred by the resolution.I hate being right about this stuff. I'd much rather be proven wrong and have everything go great. But as long as you're getting good analysis from reading us, and since it's a slow news Sunday (JonBenet! Snakes on a Plane!) I figured it's worth noting.
