Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah leader, promised open war against Israel right after his Beirut offices were flattened by Israeli bombs. He said “You wanted an open war and we are ready for an open war� Our homes will not be the only ones to be destroyed; our children will not be the only ones to die.” According to Israeli officials, one of their naval ships was shelled by Hezbollah. Nasrallah said on television, “Look at the warship that has attacked Beirut, while it burns and sinks before your very eyes”. Israel has confirmed damages to its warship and reported 4 soldiers missing after the attack.
