...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah 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 dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original 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...In remarks carried by Lebanese media, the UN mission front man said that the Israeli army targeted the UNIFIL forces five times deliberately.

he noted that the Israeli occupation army has used phosphorus munitions.
''We found evidence of possible use of white phosphorus several months ago near one of our posts'' in south Lebanon. He added that the destruction inflicted upon the Lebanese border town due to Israeli bombardment was ''shocking.''

Tenenti underlined the need for the international forces to stay in Lebanon, stressing that their morale is high.
Asked about the possibility of resorting to self-defense against the Israeli occupation army, the front man said: ''It can be resorted to, but the priority now is for de-escalation.''
The Israeli occupation army has repeatedly attacked UNIFIL posts recently, with several times causing casualties among the international force members.
The latest attack was in the border southern town of Kfar Kila on Thursday, when and Israeli Merkava fired at a UNIFIL watchtower.
