Hezbollah: Israeli onslaught a surprise

BEIRUT, Lebanon - A senior Hezbollah official said Tuesday the guerrillas did not expect Israel to react with an all-out offensive after the capture of two soldiers, the first acknowledgment by the group that it had miscalculated the consequences of the raid two weeks ago.

Mahmoud Komati, deputy chief of the Hezbollah's political arm, also told The Associated Press in an interview that the Shiite militant group will not lay down arms.

In separate remarks early Wednesday, Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah defiantly vowed his fighters would begin firing rockets deeper into Israel, beyond the northern port of Haifa.

"The truth is â?? let me say this clearly â?? we didn't even expect (this) response ... that (Israel) would exploit this operation for this big war against us," said Komati.

Hezbollah: Well, ya know, we didn't know that killing 3 soldiers and kidnapping two would create a war........what about no touch backs???:stoned:
