Lebanon attacks Israel? No. Not true from what Ive heard.
Israel were cutting down a tree on Lebanese land, so they could see into Lebanon... The Lebanese soldiers fired warning shots... THEN the fighting broke out.
Israel brought a tank and air support in.
And is it just me, or are Israel involved in more fighting than any other country lately? We should invade them instead of the countries like Iraq.

did you read more than the title?
|
I did (before the mass Editing)... And my point still stands.
Yesterday Sky News were reporting that it was in Lebanese land, and the Lebanese soldiers fired warning shots... Then the Israelis fought back, bringing in a Tank and an attack Helicopter.
Why the hell do they need to cut a tree down to see into Lebanon anyway? ¬_¬

mass editing? the only thing ive changed since your post is added 2 paragraphs by the UN again confirming its israeli territory.
...snipers targeting senior officers 100 meters in, isnt generally considered warning shots. of course by lebanons own words they opened fire with RPGs and small arms when the israelis refused to stop cutting the tree. as you can imagine, warning shots with RPGs doesnt happen. and the isaelis also had artillery :)
and the reason for the tree needing adjusting is included in the excerpts i posted. additionally...this is routine maintenance along the fence. it occurs fairly often and unifil is always notified where the maintenance takes place.
|
They fired the RPGs after the warning shots, obviously...
I just think its odd that we keep hearing about Israel, and fighting... Over and over again. Seems to me that Israel is where our troops need to be right now, not Afghanistan.
|
well if theyd stopped being attacked then there wouldnt be fighting. just this week they were attacked from gaza, egypt and now lebanon.
|
I haven't seen anything about the Gaza attack this week, but they probably deserve it after the whole Gaza Flotila thing.
Egypt was apparently Islamic Terrorists, not Egypt themselves... So no surprise there.
Lebanon, I don't think counts as an attack on Israel at all, more of a defence...
Point stands though. Almost every bit of fighting i hear about involves Israel.
