Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds.

On the Israeli side, at least four civilians and nine soldiers have been killed, according to Israeli officials.

On Tuesday, an anti-tank missile fired by Hezbollah maimed nine soldiers in Iqrit.
