Lebanon - israel Clash Kills Four

Clashes between Lebanese troops and Israeli forces have left at least three Lebanese soldiers and a senior Israeli army officer dead, according to Lebanese media.

Three other Lebanese soldiers were also injured in the fighting on Tuesday.

Israeli soldiers launched several rockets targeting near
the southern Lebanese village of Adaysseh.

The violence broke out after Israeli troops uprooted a tree on the Lebanese side, according to Lebanese officials.

Meanwhile, Lebanon's President Michel Sleiman said any violation into Lebanese territory by Israel is a breach of the UN Resolution 1701, which ended Israel's war against Lebanon in 2006.

He added that the Lebanese army will confront such moves at any cost.

Prime Minister Saad Hariri also condemned the violation of Lebanese sovereignty and demands.

"The United Nations and the international community bear their responsibilities and pressure Israel to stop its aggression," a statement from Hariri's office said.

Update:

4 Lebanese Martyred, 1 Israeli Officer Killed in Odeisseh Clashes
Four Lebanese were martyred on Tuesday and five others were injured in the Israeli aggression along the Occupied Palestinian- Lebanese border.

Israeli occupation troops exchanged fire on Tuesday with the Lebanese soldiers along the Odeisseh southern village, sparking clashes that left three Lebanese army soldiers and one journalist martyred. The journalist was identified as Assaf Bou Rahhal working for Al-Akhbar daily.

Al-Manar correspondent Ali Shoaib was also lightly injured in the clashes.


Al-Manar TV quoted a security official as saying that a high ranking Israeli officer was killed in the shelling and the occupation forces were trying to pull him out of the Lebanese territories. Another occupation soldier was injured and he is in a critical situation.

"The Israelis fired four shells (from a tank) that fell near a Lebanese army position on the outskirts of the village of Odeisseh and the Lebanese army fired back," a security official in the area told AFP, adding that two houses were damaged by the rockets.

A Lebanese army spokesman said the clashes erupted after Israeli soldiers attempted to uproot a tree on the Lebanese side of the fenced border. "The Israelis began to fire and we responded," he said.

The Israeli army could be heard calling in Arabic for an immediate ceasefire over loudspeakers.

The Israeli occupation foreign ministry held the Lebanese government responsible for the escalation on the border.

United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon called on both sides to exercise "maximum restraint" after the clashes.

UNIFIL spokesman Andrea Tenenti said, "The main priority of the mission at the moment is to restore calm in the area," adding that the Deputy Force Commander Santi Bonfanti was in contact with the Lebanese Armed Forces and Israeli occupation army command urging for maximum restraint.

@AirZone19

Thousands of syrian soldiers were forced to leave Lebanon after the assassination of Hariri.

You know that Hisbollah and Syria are holding together right?

Why should Hisbollah assassinate Hariri?

How can you believe into the west? They lie since hundreds of years.

@AirZone19 I gave you easily verifiable facts and all I got from your happy ass was the poor Jew story and some anecdotes about crap someone you know told you. You did not participate in the debate enough to lose it it was more like a forfeit. Thanks for playing.

@Smarterthanyouarable So much bullshit in a single post... yay! you sound like a revisionist. Dude I read so much books about the war not WIKIPEDIA. go and read some books and come back before you spread your crap. the arab nations threatened Israel for annihilation weeks before Israel attacked. The arab armies moved their troops to the border.. it would have been like yum kippur if Israel hadnt struck first. you are tiring me with your bullshit... anyway about the land thing - it will happen.
