Israeli Military Operates Against Hezbollah Militants
LEBANESE BORDER, ISRAEL - JULY 14: An Israeli army soldier carries
armor-piercing ammunition as he loads his tank ahead of possible
action against Hezbollah militants July 14, 2006 on Israel's northern
border with Lebanon. Israel has stepped up its action against
Hezbollah targets in an effort to drive the Islamic militants from the
border and to force the return of two soldiers captured by the group
in a cross-border attack two days ago on July 12. (Photo by David
