Lebanon and Israel also exchange infantry weapons fire across the border.

Could be that another military escalation is in the making. I wonder if the Israelis have used the past years to get better prepared in intel, logistics and determination this time. Would be good for them - Hezbollah is stronger, better armed and deeper entrenched than ever before (with kind thanks to Europe helping them to get the time and opportunity to do so).

Over a tree, apparently.

The Lebanese officer said the clash occurred as Israeli troops tried to remove a tree from the Lebanese side of the border.

We should nuke the tree, it is obviously the source of all evil.

It's an improvement over mildly edited telegrams released to the newspapers...

This nearly sparked something bigger back in '76.
