M
emories are dogging
Israel these days —
memories from
more than a decade
ago, when the country first
became bogged down in the
Lebanon War of 1982-85.
Bogged down in Lebanon.
It's a pat phrase in the
Israeli political lexicon
related to another often-
heard phrase — the mud of
Lebanon.
The words recall pictures
seen on television during
the winters of the war: sol-
diers slogging through the
Lebanese mud, their uni-
forms thick with mud, their
tanks and jeeps churning
through mud. Mud came to
symbolize that war: some-
thing thick and disgusting
that you get stuck in, that
pulls you down.
There is another phrase,
another memory, from
before that war — children
raised in bomb shelters.
These are the children of
the northern border settle-
ments who spent days and
nights underground, wait-
ing out the Katyusha rock-
ets fired by the PLO from
across the border in south
Lebanon. During one 10-day
stretch in 1981, over 1,200
Katyushas landed in the
north. Worst hit was Kiryat
Shmonah, where thousands
of people, nearly half the
city, fled for safety.
In the last month, the
Islamic fundamentalist ter-
ror organization Hezbollah
has been firing Katyusha
rockets from south Lebanon
like it never has before,
aiming them at the kibbutz-
im, moshavim and cities
across the border. Again,
people have been hiding,
children have been sleeping
underground.
This brings up bad memo-
ries, and it shows a passivi-
ty that is not healthy when
dealing with Hezbollah.
So at 10:30 a.m. last
Sunday, Israeli helicopters
and jets launched their
biggest attack in south
Lebanon since the end of
the war. What they are
sought to achieve was to
shut down the terrorists
without reliving that other
painful memory, of an army
getting stuck for three years
inside Lebanon.
The Israeli attack was
anything but a surprise. For
the previous two weeks,
Israel had been stoking up
its military presence in the
security zone (a strip along
the Lebanese side of the
border where Israeli sol-
diers, aided by local militia-
men, fend off
Hezbollah
and
Palestinian terrorists, keep-
ing them from infiltrating to
Israel).
