Watch Those Land Mines: Correspondent Nicholas Blanford ventured into southern Lebanon as part of his reporting for today's story about Hizbullah shifting military tactics. "Reaching the Labboune bunker was a little nerve wracking as it lies in an old Israel minefield planted years ago. I carefully walked along a track left in the soft earth by an Israeli armored bulldozer a week earlier," he says.

Nick also visited another Hizbullah firing position in a remote valley about two miles away. "I saw several unexploded Israeli cluster bomblets, a common sight in south Lebanon now. There was evidence that Hizbullah had been active in the valley too: a pile of empty Katyusha rocket containers and specially built rocket firing platforms.
