HIZBALLAH LAUNCHES LARGE SCALE ATTACK ON ISRAEL'S NORTHERN BORDER

What Media Bias? (LGF)

Ha’aretz reports that Hizballah launched a large scale attack (with rockets) along the length of Israel's northern border.

United Nations peace-keepers brokered a cease-fire early Sunday evening between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, ending a day of cross-border clashes in which an Israel Defense Forces soldier was moderately wounded and two militants in Lebanon were killed. The soldier, from an anti-aircraft unit, was airlifted to Rambam Hospital in Haifa in stable condition. IDF troops and guerillas from Hezbollah traded heavy fire across the length of the Israel-Lebanon border Sunday, in clashes which began when militants fired Katyusha rockets at an IDF base in northern Israel, in a pre-dawn strike.

But the BBC’s headline could not possibly be more ridiculous: Lebanon border clash breaks out. In fact, get a load of all these wire services headlines for the story, almost every one of them focused on or emphasizing the Israeli response instead of the attack that prompted it: Yahoo!
