  • Re: Hezbollah

    It is not Hezbollah Israel needs to satisfy. By making a fair peace agreement with palastinians and the neighboring states Israel can illiminate the need for organizations like Hezbollah. In order to fix a problem you need to deal with the cause not the symptoms.

      Deadly Israel-Lebanon border clash

      At least three Lebanese soldiers, a senior Israeli officer and a journalist have been killed in an exchange of fire along the two countries' border.

      The Lebanese say they opened fire after Israeli troops entered Lebanon. The Israelis deny crossing the border.

      It is the first serious clash there since the 2006 conflict between Israel and Lebanese Hezbollah militants.

      Israel's foreign ministry warned Lebanon of "consequences" if violence continued.

      "Israel views the Lebanese government as responsible for this serious incident," a ministry statement said.

      In a statement, Lebanon's Prime Minister Saad Hariri condemned Israeli "aggression" and said Lebanese sovereignty had been violated.

      The Lebanese army says Israeli soldiers crossed the border to uproot a tree which was blocking their view in the Lebanese village of Adaysseh.

      A Lebanese army spokesman said it had fired warning shots and Israel had responded with fire from artillery positions and helicopters.

      The army confirmed to the BBC that three of its soldiers had been killed and four wounded. The al-Akhbar newspaper confirmed that one of its journalists had also been killed.

      Restraint urged

      The Israel Defense Force (IDF) said its troops had been working on its side of the border near the town of Kiryat Shemona, when they received warnings to leave the area.


      "The soldiers were on routine activity in Israeli territory, in an area that lies between the 'blue line' (the internationally recognised border between Israel and Lebanon) and the security fence, thus within Israeli territory," the IDF said in a statement.

      People in Lebanese army uniform then opened fire on the troops. The Israelis first said two officers had been seriously wounded, but then later confirmed that a senior officer had been killed.

      He was named as 45-year-old Lt-Col Dov Harari from Netanya, a reserve commander in the engineering corps.

      Maj-Gen Gadi Eisenkot, head of the Israeli military's northern command, told reporters he believed the incident was "a one-time event".

      Speaking at a base near the Lebanese border, he said: "We received requests and demands from the highest ranks in the Lebanese army to cease fire."

      However, he described the incident as a "deliberate ambush".

      The UN peacekeeping force stationed in southern Lebanon, Unifil, has urged both sides to show "maximum restraint" following the clash.

      The BBC's Wyre Davies in Jerusalem says the clash is an indication of the tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border.

      Israel's Haaretz newspaper said the incident could have been caused by one of the sides misidentifying the correct location of the border.

      The exchange comes a day after rockets were fired at the Israeli resort of Eilat, with a stray rocket killing one person in the nearby port of Aqaba in Jordan.

          Hizballah had nothing to do with today's clash, it was the Lebanese army vs the Israeli army. Here's a picture of Israel clearly violating the Israeli-Lebanese border that sparked today's incident.

              Nasrallah accuses Israel over Hariri murder


              The leader of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah has accused Israel of being behind the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese PM Rafik Hariri.

              In a fiery speech, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said he would prove the claim at a press conference next week.

              The BBC's Jon Leyne says Mr Nasrallah is trying to pre-empt a UN report due to implicate Hezbollah in the killing.

              Mr Nasrallah was speaking hours after a firefight on the Lebanon-Israeli border left five people dead.

              Referring to the rare exchange of fire, he said his forces were ready to join the fighting.

              Mr Hariri and 22 other people were killed in Beirut in a car bomb in 2005.

              Rivalry 'exploited'

              In his address - broadcast to a huge crowd in Beirut via video-link - the Shia leader said he would prove that Israeli agents had exploited Hezbollah's "political rivalry" with Mr Hariri, a Sunni Muslim. He did not give any further details.

              "I accuse the Israeli enemy of the assassination of (former) Prime Minister Rafik Hariri and... I will prove this by unveiling sensitive information at a press conference on Monday," he said.

              Our correspondent says it is the first time Mr Nasrallah has accused Israel of being behind the assassination.

              Israel has rejected the allegation, saying Hezbollah was to blame.

              "Nasrallah is under heavy pressure," said Israeli Intelligence Minister Dan Meridor, "because of the coming allegations that he or his people (Hezbollah) did kill Rafik al-Hariri, the former prime minister of Lebanon...They may try to divert the attention to another incident."

              In July the Hezbollah leader said he was aware that a UN-backed tribunal investigating Mr Hariri's murder was likely to indict members of his party.

              He alleged that the court was biased and part of a US and Israeli conspiracy.

              Mr Nasrallah's speech was arranged to mark the fourth anniversary of the end of the 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel.

                Hezbollah prints playing cards of top Israeli officials targeted for revenge

                By Avi Issacharoff

                The Lebanon-based militant group Hezbollah has printed a deck of playing cards emboldened with the faces of senior Israeli officials, in an apparent show of its promise to carry out "revenge assassinations" over the killing of one of its top officials in Damascus two years ago.

                The Kuwaiti newspaper A-Rai Al-Am reported Wednesday the group was indeed preparing to avenge the assassination of Imad Moughniyah, which it has blamed on Israel. and was keeping close watch over the movements of Israel top army and government officials.

                Its list of targets include Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi, Mossad chief Meir Dagan and Military Intelligence chief Amos Yadlin, former IDF chief Dan Halutz and former prime minister Ehud Olmert, according to the report.

                The report quotes Hezbollah sources which note that the group is aware of the tight security around some of the individuals named, and notes that Dagan often travels to Mossad headquarters, which the article places in Herzliya.

                The playing cards mirror those printed by the American government during its war in Iraq, to document its wanted list within Saddam Hussein's former circle.
