Israel calls up army reservists

A pall of smoke hangs over Tyre from the constant shelling

Israel has called up thousands of reserve troops and told civilians to quit southern Lebanon immediately, amid threats of a large-scale incursion.

Israeli troops are already fighting Hezbollah inside Lebanon and have been heavily shelling the border area.

Correspondents in Tyre say the sound of explosions is constant, and with villages cut off and roads severed, people are in grave peril.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah rockets have again hit the Israeli city of Haifa.

Pete's Points:

In view of the previous story about heat killing people in France let's just look at this story.

"Israel has called up thousands of reserve troops and told civilians to quit southern Lebanon immediately"

Could this be classed as the equivalent of an Orange alert or perhaps even a Red alert to people to try and save their lives?

If people ignore warnings are the people who issue them to be blamed?

If this were the case with the earlier French story, then the people who issued the warning about heat and its related effects should be held accountable for "causing" the death of those "innocent civilians" who ignored the warnings and keeled over from the heat while at work or playing sports!

"Meanwhile, Hezbollah rockets have again hit the Israeli city of Haifa."

Why was there no warning by the Hezbollah group to alert "innocent Israeli civilians" to take shelter or to leave Haifa before the rocket attacks?

More to the point, why is there no condemnation by the journalists concerned of the Hezbollah group for killing innocent civilians without warning?

Why are correspondents in Haifa not reporting that "the sound of rockets and explosions is constant" or "people are in grave peril."

I have no doubt that there are tragedies within both Lebanon and Israel. I have no problem with condemning violence by both sides. .

I am afraid that I do mind reportage that is one sided, emotional and unbalanced.
