D’Alema told Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad and Foreign Minister Walid Moallem that Italy would push for an end to Syria’s international isolation in return for a guarantee that Hezbollah and other groups would not harm Italian troops in Lebanon.

Rockets Launched Into Israel From South Lebanon
Is Fateh El Islam trying to use Israel to pressure the Army?
This just in:
Two Katyusha rockets hit the northern town of Kiryat Shmona on Sunday afternoon, in the first rocket strikes on northern Israel since the end of the Second Lebanon War last summer.
Also, according to tayyar, a third missile landed next to a UNIFIL outpost.
Israeli and Lebanese security sources suspect the source NOT to be Hezbollah, and Israeli TV is speaking of Fateh Al Islam. (source: tayyar)
Fateh El Islam might be trying to put pressure on the Lebanese Army, which is “90% percent finished with Naher el Bared” according to Naharnet. The Islamists might want to pressure the Army by proving it can provoke the Israelis into another war unless it stops shelling the camp.
**Update (from Tayyar)**
Olmert: Those who shot the missiles wanted us to respond.
Lebanese ISF Gets Tough On Hezbollah
It seems the Lebanese Internal Security Forces are bent on arresting the Hezbollah members who had previously detained their colleagues.

Fanfare or real determination?
According to Annahar, the incident happened when the ISF were trying to track down 4 outlaws who took refuge in Dahieh. This then turned into a conflict with Hezbollah which resulted in the HA Militias rounding up the ISF members, disarming them and interrogating them for one hour.
Annahar’s “high ranking security source” revealed that Hezbollah eventually collaborated with the ISF to arrest the 4 men.
The source then gave away the juicy part:
???? ?????? ?????? ??????? ?? ????? ?? ?????? ??? ????? ???? ??? ??? ????? ?? ?????? ?? ????? ????????? ?? ??? ??????? ??? ??? ????? ?? ??? ????? ??????? ???????”.
Translation & Emphasis mine:
[the source] confirmed that the assault on the ISF patrol and those responsible for it will be pursued in order to arrest those envolved, and there will be no backing down from that objective. If the security committee of Hezbollah cooperates with the authorities, then no problem. If it didn’t, the security forces will not back down from arresting those responsible, which would be the duty of the security forces and the military judiciary.
Tough words indeed. It remains to be seen whether they have the balls to actually do it.
Map Of The Naher Al Bared Camp
I’m sure you’re all wondering what’s taking the Lebanese army so long to finish its war against the Absi terrorists. I wanted to know too, so I had a closer look at this Palestinian refugees “Camp” and put together a high resolution map of it. Generous as I am, I decided to share it with you
Now you can actually see the density of the buildings and visualize the locations of the battles we keep reading about in Tayyar and LF.
