Lebanon is sending as many as 5,000 additional soldiers to the country’s south following clashes between civilians and UN troops and Israel’s warning that Hizbullah is preparing for a new war there.HMMM: ARE THEY REALLY A TRIP-WIRE MEANT TO PREVENT MORE HAVOC AND MAYHEM OR WILL THEY ATTACK HIZBALLAH - OR ISRAEL!?
“Some measures had to be taken to make sure no such incidents take place in the future,” Nawaf Salam, Lebanon’s ambassador to the UN, said in an interview on Friday, referring to three attacks on French peacekeeping troops since June 29.
The commander of the United Nations’ 12,000 soldiers and civilian police in southern Lebanon appealed for calm this week, in an open letter to the region’s population, while France called a meeting on Friday in New York of the UN Security Council to receive a report on the issue.
“We wanted to emphasize the seriousness of the situation,” Gerard Araud, France’s ambassador to the UN, told reporters after the meeting. “These incidents have given rise to apprehension and concern. We cannot accept obstacles to freedom of movement [of UN troops].”
The members of the Security Council “strongly deplore” the clashes with peacekeepers and urge the Lebanese army to send reinforcements to the border area with Israel, according to a statement adopted after the briefing.
The tensions came as Israel said Hizbullah is preparing for fighting.
- ONE OF THE REASONS THINGS HAVE DETERIORATED IS THAT HARIRI
- HAS BEEN APPEASING ALL THE BAD GUYS IN THE REGION.
- WHAT MAKES IT WORSE IS THAT OBAMA HASN'T DONE JACKS**T ABOUT THE MISSILES SYRIA SENT HIZBALLAH - EVEN AS HE HAS SUSPENDED MILITARY ASSETS TO ISRAEL --- AND SELLS MILITARY ARMS TO THE ARABS --- AND WINKS AS RUSSIA ARMS ISRAEL'S ENEMIES!
- FROM HIS ACTIONS, IT'S CLEAR OBAMA IS NO FRIEND TO ISRAEL, AND IS A FRIEND OF THE ARABS AND GLOBAL JIHAD: OBAMA HAS DONE MORE FOR ISRAEL'S ISLAMO-THUG ENEMIES THAN ANY PRESIDENT EVER - AND PROBABLY AS MUCH AS HE CAN GET AWAY WITH.
UPDATE: AP:
A senior official with the militant group says they have a list of military targets inside Israel to hit in any future war.Hezbollah commander in south Lebanon, Sheik Nabil Kaouk, made his comments Sunday in response to this week's release by Israel's military of maps and aerial photographs of what it described as a network of Hezbollah weapons depots and command centers in south Lebanon.

Defensible Borders to Secure Israel’s Future -
Rather than any international peacekeeping mission, the best course is bilateral security arrangements. The Israeli experience with an international presence has been poor. UNIFIL in Lebanon has not lived up to Israeli expectations in preventing the re-armament of Hizbullah after the 2006 Second Lebanon War.
