Children in Lebanon Hit and Gone
We heard that many children were hit and gone in Lebanon.
If you heard that scores of children were killed on a single incident, you would think that criminals responsible should be cursed by God.

On March 12, 2003, a reporter for The International Herald Tribune wrote:
"A year ago Shimon Peres and senior Israeli Army intelligence officers estimated that the Hezbollah already had 8,000 of the rockets in their possession. Last week, they both raised that figure to 10,000." (http://www.iht.com/articles/2003/03/12/edlarry_ed3_.php)
If you take up 10,000 military rockets of your enemy at a procurement price of, say, US$10,000 for each, you simply need $100 million.
Israel spent 9 billion dollars for its defense.
Therefore, they only have to use 1.1 percent of their defense budget for eradicating the threat posed by 10,000 short/middle-distance rockets.

I do not think that God is pleased with Israelites in terms of this incident as He was 3500 years ago at Jericho, though Israelites have named their own missiles "Jericho."
If Israelites think that God is, I will be very much alerted.
If Israelites think that God is not, they had better be very much alerted.
