Report: Israeli Patrol Violates Blue Line at Kfarshouba
An Israeli foot patrol crossed the U.N.-drawn Blue Line at the Kfarshouba hills area and entered 150 meters deep into Lebanese territories, the National News Agency reported Monday.
NNA said that the patrol violated Lebanese sovereignty at around 10:30 am.
The 12-member group stayed there for around half an hour and then returned to its position, the agency added.
They said the Israeli soldiers entered an area near the town of Mais al-Jabal, carrying out a search operation under the gaze of Lebanese soldiers.

And why did the Lebanese army not fire warning shots? Maybe because they know that the Israelis are probing for an excuse to start a war? Bravo ya watan! As hard as it is to restrain themselves against such naked aggression, they are proving that they are led by a very intelligent commander in general Qahajie. With the domestic pressure that the state of Israel is experiencing with protests, they are looking for a diversion to galvenize the public opinion and distract them from their cause to oust their fanatical government.

What? no comments from Israeli appologists?
The Lebanese Army did the right thing by not responding. They should continue doing so despite repeated provocations that are sure to continue...
Clearly, Israel, a warmonger as ever, is itching for a fight. They are hoping to use the economic crisis in the west and the unrest in Syria as cover: may be the world is too distracted to notice their crimes against the Lebanon, or perhaps they're hoping Hezbollah's is weaker now if the Syrian regime is too pre-occupied oppressing it's own people.
Yet Lebanon's had a parade of western officials "demanding" Lebanon honor it's international obligations. The Government should consistently respond to this nonsenes by showing Lebanon's diligence when it comes to international commitments and providing a detailed report of every single Israeli violation of Lebanon's sovereignty. Turn the table on these officials and demand that Israel too honor it's international obligations!

Lebanon is honoring it's commitments to the international community.
Israel is not honoring it's commitments to the international community.
The Islamic resistance in Lebanon is not honoring it's commitments to the Lebanese people on the other hand it will follow any order handed down from Iran even if it means the destruction of Lebanon, fida al moukawama al islamiya fi loubnan, fida al atatollah, fidaki ta filasteen
Lebanon is like an accordion getting squeezed from both ends.
