Israel will halt its war in Lebanon at 7 a.m. Monday (midnight EDT Sunday night), a senior Israeli government official said Saturday.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment publicly on the sensitive matter. Israel's Cabinet was to endorse the U.N. cease-fire resolution later Sunday.
Israeli helicopters, meanwhile, flew hundreds of commandos into the Hezbollah heartland, and some army units reached the Litani River on Saturday as both sides indicated they would accept the U.N. cease-fire plan to stop heavy fighting still raging in southern Lebanon.
I am not a military man but I have to wonder, if they are planning to stop killing on Monday, then why can they not stop the killing today?
Is their a quota not yet met? Do the deaths that occur on the weekend not count? How does one decide to stop bombing people but then bomb them for a few more days?
And then of course one must wonder how fierce the fighting might be these next 48 hours knowing that they only have that long to kill as many of the "enemy" as possible?
It is horribly ridiculous. And so fucking senseless.
