UPDATE: Due to the large number of placemarks, not all locations are visible in Maps making this look like a biased map - To view all locations for this map be sure to open it up in Google Earth.
Stefan Geens of The OgleEarth Blog points us to a KML file that geographically documents events that have taken place in the past week on both sides of the Israel - Lebanon border. Excited to finally test the KML to Google Maps functionality I tried to bring up this Google Earth KML file in Google Maps.. and it worked! To view it, simply copy this link, then paste it into Google Maps... Here is the result. I agree with Stef - this overlay has amazing accuracy and will help you to explore where the conflict is taking place in both Google Maps and Google Earth. For more about this overlay view the info page that it is linked from.

Why does the map show mostly attacks in Lebanotn and not show the hundreds of rocket attacks on Israel? Kiryat Shimona, Acre, Haifa, Safed, etc..
Hmm.. looks like the KML in Maps isn't displaying all placemarks because it's so big. To view them all it's best to open up the file in Google Earth instead. Sorry about that!
it's a shame you give stage to radical left-wing information which supports terroristic organizations such as the Hizballah. The Hizballah has taken hostage the entire population in Lebanon and has bombarded cities in the northern part of Israel targeting civilians. It is the same organization which murdered hundreds of US marines in Beirut and kidnapped and assassinated many other Americans and Europeans.
Hizballah is not terroristic organization. Terristic is USA, Israel and EU, they have murdered millions of people all over the world
