| UN says tree actually on Israel's side |
| 2010-08-04 |
| THE UN peacekeeping force has confirmed that the tree at the centre of deadly clashes along the Lebanon-Israel border was in Israeli territory. Lebanese and Israeli troops exchanged fire yesterday in a fierce border battle that killed a senior Israeli officer, two Lebanese soldiers and a journalist. The violence started when Israeli troops tried to cut down a tree that both sides claimed was in their territory. Lieutenant Naresh Bhatt, a spokesman for the UN peacekeeping force in south Lebanon, UNIFIL, said yesterday they have determined the tree was in Israeli territory. The Israeli army has said it is continuing to uproot trees in the area. |

| #5 I have no doubt that the mooks will destroy the tree altogether if they can't claim it. |
