"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Israel launches 'large-scale' strikes in Bekaa - Naharnet

 State-run Lebanese media said Israel was conducting new raids across Lebanon's east Monday, hours after deadly strikes on the south and east, in the deadliest single day in nearly a year of cross-border clashes.

"Enemy raids targeted the mountain" areas in the Baalbek region and several towns and villages, the National News Agency said, adding that "the Israeli enemy" launched a strike on the town of Hermel.

The Israeli military had said it would launch more air strikes targeting the Bekaa Valley and warned residents to move away from alleged Hezbollah sites in the area.

"We are preparing for a large-scale and targeted strike in Bekaa Valley," military spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said at a media briefing, adding that residents should "distance themselves" from Hezbollah sites "for your safety and protection."

"Hezbollah stores its strategic weaponry in civilian buildings and uses the population as human shields," Hagari said.
