Syria-Lebanon-Iran
New Flare-Up on Lebanon, Israel Border
2005-05-22
Lebanese militiamen fired rockets on the Israeli-occupied Shebaa Farms yesterday, causing no casualties, in response to Israeli warning fire at shepherds who had entered prohibited territory, officials on both sides said. "In response to Israeli fire targeting the Lebanese village of Shebaa, Hezbollah fired around a dozen rockets on the sector," a Lebanese policeman said.
"See? See? You guys can't disarm us! You need us to protect against Zionist aggression!"
That was confirmed by a military source in Jerusalem, who said fighters from Lebanon "fired at least eight missiles or rockets toward the Har Dov area." The shooting came shortly after a group of shepherds and their flocks crossed into the Shebaa Farms, but were scared off when Israeli troops fired warning shots into the air. The Lebanese police said heavy Israeli machine-gun fire damaged five houses. "About half an hour later, the cross-border shelling started with high-trajectory firing at the Har Dov area," the Israeli source said. "This is another example of cross-border escalation which is completely unacceptable." Hezbollah said "our fighters responded to the Israeli fire, which hit houses in the village of Shebaa, by bombarding the position at Rweissat Al-Alam."
"See? See?"

#2  1400 year ago a big mistake happened. The more correction is postponed, the costlier it's going to be.

#1  Syrian & Iranian terrorist trains, arms and funds the Islamic fanatics of Hezbollah.



If the Iranian-Syrian proxies provoke Israel via shelling northern Israeli towns & IDF outposts, they should not be shocked when Israel reaches its limit and swiftly responds with a heavy air strikes and or tank/land toops, depending on the situation.



For a true workable government in Lebanon and a secure northern Israel border, Hezbollah must be dismantled. The best way whould be to alter the 'leadership' in Tehran & Damascus. In doing so funding & a large portion of weapons shipments for the likes of Hezbollah, Hamas & Islamic Jihad, will dry up very quickly.

Only direct weapons shipments being sneaked over the southern Gaza border, from Egypt, would remain a problem.
