Hezbollah guerrillas bombarded northern Israel with rockets and fought up to 6,000 Israeli troops in Lebanon yesterday after Israel vowed to pursue the war until a strong international force arrived.

HOW to begin — with Hezbollah rockets raining bits of death onto Haifa?

Or with Palestinian suicide bombers pulling their switches at bus stops? Or with Israeli tanks occupying Ramallah, laying siege to Yasser Arafat?

Israeli commandos dropped from helicopters seized five suspected Hizbollah guerrillas and killed at least four other gunmen in a night-time raid deep into Lebanon early on Wednesday, military officials said.
