Israel agrees to 48 Hr ceasefire
At the moment , Israel has ceased air strikes only , full ceasefire may follow , this after the loss of quite a few civilians in an air raid that hit a building in Qana , near a known launch site of rockets into Israel . The citizens knew about the danger , but did not leave , even though Israel had leafletted the area , nor reveal that Hezbollah fighters have hidden among them for a long time . Fox has shown photos showing Hezbollah members training in the midst of Lebanese citizens prior to the beginning of hostilities .In addition , unconfirmed Israeli sources say the building collapsed hours after the attack , either due to damage or possibly due to explosives stored in the building .
This ceasefire is unilateral actually , since Hezbollah will certainly be the first to violate it .
Israel insists that Lebanon must work toward disarming Hezbollah , and that seems unlikely , since they neither have the military strength , nor the will to do so .
