  Greetings to all at in these times, What to make of this leaflet dropped over Lebanon? "To the residents of Hay el-Sulloum, Bourj el-Barajneh and Chiah: For your own safety, you must evacuate those neighborhoods immediately, and evacuate every place where Hezbollah members or aides exist or carry out terrorist operations" "You must know that the expansion of Hezbollah terrorist operations will lead to a painful and strong response, and its painful results will not be confined to Hassan's gang and criminals" "The State of Israel." http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/749081.html A clear threat of collective punishment?
