Blast kills Lebanese soldier in south, Israel blames Hezbollah

W300

The Lebanese military has said that a soldier was killed "as a result of the explosion of a suspicious object in an army vehicle" in the southern town of Mansouri.

Commenting on the incident, the Israeli military said that "the explosive device did not belong" to it, and suggested that Hezbollah had planted the device.

"It should be noted that the Lebanese Army vehicle entered the Security Zone without prior coordination with the (Israeli army), as required according to the existing coordination mechanism," the Israeli military added.

"After Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah used the parliamentary podium earlier this week to launch a sharp attack on President Joseph Aoun, accusing him of 'becoming a political actor who deepens divisions among the Lebanese instead of serving as president and a symbol of national unity,' fellow Hezbollah lawmaker Ali Fayyad said on Friday that 'the problem with this government has become serious, very serious. The bridges with it have been severed, the possibility of reaching an understanding no longer exists, and the consequences will not be favorable.'"

Iran has had Lebanon in the hangman's rope for 30 years. A whole generation has been brainwashed with the symbol of a gun and the color yellow. Giving up their hijacking of Lebanon will be hard for them. If it is indeed too hard for them, I say go to Iran and live-Lebanon is not for you.
