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.

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

Wouldn't be the first time people have been killed because of a tree...

This nearly sparked something bigger back in '76.

In any case, if starting a war based on a football match, then why not of a tree?:D

That has to be one of the best planned displays of superior firepower that I have ever read about. Very impressive. :up:
