TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARAccording to the BBC’s Crispin Thorold in Jerusalem, the village has a strategic value, overlooking several other sites said to have been used as launch pads for Hezbollah rockets. Hezbollah continued to fire dozens of rockets into Israel on Saturday, hitting the towns of Carmiel, Kiryat Shmona and Nahariya, and wounding several Israelis. There are substantial numbers of Israeli forces near the border, and military sources suggest that there will be continued incursions in the coming days.
