The advance before the retreat

Many Israeli bloggers are upset about the ceasefire, which apparently will not begin until Monday, while the IDF is swarming southern Lebanon all the way to the Litani River, including in their biggest helicopter airlift in thirty years. But some like this Israeli doctor just reel from the confusion of it all:

"Talking to friends. Again news on TV confusion. I cannot study, read, love. Life as (I) know it stopped a month ago."

While Meryl Yourish finds some good in the UN resolution, even if she only gives it a D+.

"Israel managed to get the UN to do to the Arabs what the Arabs have been doing to Israel for decades. How does it feel, buddy? I think it’s great….The morning was ‘quiet‘—Ynet’s phrase that means ‘no rockets were fired on Israeli civilians’—and the afternoon heated things up. But not by a lot. Gee. The ground forces are stopping the rocket fire. Who’da thunk?"

She also has a link to a Jerusalem Post copy of the full UN resolution.
