I honestly did not believe there would be further aggression in the near future. I can think of no way this attack could further Israel's interests, but clearly the border cease fire is now likely to fall apart.

BEIRUT, Aug. 19 -- Helicopter-borne Israeli commandos raided a Hezbollah stronghold in the Bekaa Valley early Saturday, setting off a fierce gun battle. Lebanon called the attack a "flagrant violation" of a fragile six-day-old cease-fire and threatened to halt troop deployments in protest.
