"Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah pointedly apologized only for these deaths, thus making it clear that there is nothing to regret in the deaths of Israeli civilians.

" The author goes on to say the Israelis "regret ALL civilian deaths"blah blah blah... this shows the authors bias,and made me chuckle. How much apologizing has Isreal done?
