Everything I've heard is non-committal, but it's nice of the Times to 
run it as fact.

This is how Stan Goff put it... bluntly:

âThe border of Southern Lebanon and Israel is a seamless web of 
intervisible Israeli outposts with night vision devices, tied together 
with ground surveillance radar, plowed-flat and raked daily to see 
footprints, and backed by quick reaction forces. Israelis routinely make 
incursive patrols into Lebanon. It is nearly impossible for an organized 
group of Hezbolla or anyone else to cross the border south, much less 
capture prisoners there. The very notion that this was an incursion INTO 
Israel is propped up solely by the credulity of the general public that 
knows nothing about military operations. In reality, the idea is as 
ludicrous as the Easter Bunny.â
