demonstrations that we were just talking about in various cities around the world, from tehran to mashad increasing, they're becoming larger and larger day by day, uh, this comes as the tensions in south lebanon, remain as they are, we had somewat of a status quo, and basically the same routine like operations for hazballah against israeli posts uh all along the southern border, in addition to some also operations from... palestinian factions like hamas and the islamic jihad, but mostly of course when it comes to rocket firing, we have hamas firing rockets in islamic jihad launched infiltration operation that seemed to be very successful. we also have news today from the israeli saying that they uh have also are investigating or looking into the fact that there is another infiltrator that uh entered and shot at the israeli soldiers and return back, they're saying that they... were shelling that area where he was running from trying to uh to spot him but that couldn't happen of course as you know hizbulalah has shot all the cameras all surveillance uh devices that were put all along the t
