Israel called Wednesday's abductions an act of war, and Maj. Gen. Udi Adam, head of Israel's Northern Command, said he has "comprehensive plans" to battle Hezbollah throughout Lebanon, not just in its southern stronghold.

Oh boy. Israel now fighting 2 neighbours. Canada actually has peace-keepers on the border in Golan Heights or whatever its called. Wonder if the UN will have to get involved.
