Idiots. They threaten the nation’s security to indulge a temper tantrum.
[IsraelTimes] Speculation surrounding tensions on the northern border is rampant after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a briefing with defense brass and other brass hats, in light of reports indicating increased activity by the Hezbollah terror group on the frontier.Channel 12 news reports that the military recommended against a operation aimed at pushing away the terror group, and removing a tent it has set up in disputed territory.
At the same time, the channel quotes defense officials saying that Israel’s deterrent threat against Hezbollah has weakened considerably and continues to fade every day the tent remains.
A defense official is quoted telling Army Radio after the briefing with Netanyahu that the army is not being pushed into operations against its will, seemingly seeking to reject claims that border tensions are being manufactured or exaggerated to distract from Netanyahu’s domestic political issues.
"We won’t carry out any mission that is forced into us," the source is quoted saying. "These tents are not a security threat, and we aren’t getting into any operation we’re not interested in."
Lebanese men wave Hezbollah flags along border with Israel
[IsraelTimes] A number of Lebanese citizens wave flags of the Hezbollah terror group on Israel’s border, footage shows.

...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...border.
The suspects did not cross Israel’s border fence or enter sovereign Israeli territory.
According to Ali Shoeib, the Hezbollah-linked correspondent, the UN fence had prevented Lebanese residents from entering a road near Ghajar since 2006, when Israel gained control of the entire village following a month-long war with Hezbollah.
The incident appears to be the latest in a series of escalating confrontations along the northern border, most of them instigated by Hezbollah, that have raised tensions in recent months.
