(Note: This post will stay on top for the rest of the day – More post below this one)
Israel - An 'Act of War' Declared
Day Fifteen
Wednesday July 26, 2006

Today's top quote by...
IDF Spokesperson, Brigadier General Miri Regev

"I can inform the Israeli people that we are advancing very well. We have many operational successes but this is not something that can be timed. I can inform that we successfully hurt many terrorists and terror infrastructures. We must have patience. The homefront has patience, we have patience, and the press as well must maintain patience.
.
We continue our operations, and work according to an organized plan to distance the Hezbollah from the northern border as much as possible, and to allow the citizens of the north to live in quiet.
.
Every decision is of course made by the government,
and the IDF will execute it accordingly."
