3,333 ROCKETS; 100 DEAD

Israeli Death Toll Hits 100 - Ian MacKinnon and Stephen Farrell
Four weeks into the conflict, Hizballah rockets are still raining on northern Israel as the number of Israeli soldiers and civilians killed topped 100 on Tuesday. But Israel is not wobbling. It is almost the reverse. The greater the setbacks, the greater appears to be the country's resolve to finish the job. Support for the war in Israel remains unwavering, with the overwhelming majority of Israelis believing that the war was forced upon them, and that the sacrifices are worth making to destroy Hizballah and avert endless conflict.

Hezbollah Has Fired 3,333 Rockets So Far
JERUSALEM (AP) -- Hezbollah guerrillas fired more 100 rockets at Israeli towns on Wednesday - raising the total since the start of the conflict to 3,333 - including several medium-range missiles that landed near the West Bank town of Jenin and south of the Israeli city of Afula, police said. By mid-afternoon, the guerrillas had fired 132 rockets, but no casualties were immediately reported, said police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld. Five of the rockets landed near a Palestinian town in the West Bank on Wednesday, Palestinian security officials said. There were no casualties.
