Give a Man a Fish and You Feed Him

Teach a man to fish...

Israeli commandos made their daring raid on a Hezbollah hospital because they believed that the two soldiers whose kidnapping started the Lebanese war had been treated there, sources revealed yesterday.
The commandos didn't find the Israeli soldiers but they seized five Hezbollah fighters, killed at least 10 others and took a treasure trove of intelligence documents when they escaped, as they came, by helicopter.

...Israeli officials said the raid sent a message to Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah.

"The army and air force proved their ability to go everywhere, even when Hezbollah turns a hospital into a headquarters," said the mission commander, Brig. Gen. Yochanan Locker.

Israeli television said the real target of the raid may have been a senior Nasrallah deputy, who escaped.

When Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was asked whether any of the five men seized were "big fish," he replied, "They are tasty fishes."


...and you clean up the neighborhood.
