IDF Heads for the Litani River

From Isracast:

When Prime Minister Ehud Olmert declared there is no cease-fire, IDF ground forces had started a push to the Litani River in southern Lebanon.

Although there is a wide consensus in Israel to continue the campaign against Hezbollah, not all Knesset members agree. Yossi Beilin of the left-wing Meretz party says its a mistake to launch the ground operation.

The Litani River is 30km North of the border with Israel, and Lebanon has long suspected that Israel had designs on the river or its tributaries.
