Israel: Hezbollah rocket tally at 3,000

As reported here, Hezbollah has launched 3,000 rockets into Israel, killing 33 Israeli civilians.

Meanwhile, "
Mohammed Fneish, a Hezbollah member of the Lebanese Cabinet, said fighting would continue until Israeli troops withdraw. "Israel is the aggressor. When the Israeli aggression stops, Hezbollah simply will cease fire on the condition that no Israeli soldier remains inside Lebanese land," he said.", in response to the UN debate on a cease fire in Lebanon.

Let me get this straight. Hezbollah makes a totally unprovoked cross border raid in Israel, kills Israeli troops in a skirmish, captures two other Israeli soldiers, which causes Israel to launch military attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon to try to get their soldiers back, and Hezbollah fires 3,000 rockets at Israel targeting only civilians, and Israel is the aggressor? What planet is this guy from to make such a bold-faced lie?

Israel is not the aggressor in this situation, as all reasoning people well know. It is Hezbollah who is the aggressor here, and Israel is well within their rights as a sovereign nation to do what they have to do to gain the return of their kidnapped soldiers and protect their national territory against the aggression of Hezbollah.
