Retaliation with artillery and helicopter; IDF now looking into whether it was preplanned.<br />3) Hizbullah fighters in Lebanese army uniforms; we can see the influence of H in some of the armed forces;<br />4) Commanders watching were fired at, not the soldiers involved in the cutting; commanders watching from a distance not at scene of the tree/shrub cutting. that's why the response so strong.<br /> <br />Additions:<br /><br />Today's unprovoked attack by the Lebanese army against the IDF, took place in Israeli territory along Israeli's Northern border. In some areas, there is a gap between the IDF security fence and the actual border, which is where this attack took place. IDF soldiers were conducting routine maintentce work including clearing bushes from the area. This sort of activity is crucial to keep an open line of sight, to prevent attacks and kidnappings, like the one in the summer of 2006, which was in a similar location.<br /><br />This crucial work was fully coordinated with UNIFIL, and there was nothing unique about it.<br /><br />A Lebanese sniper opened fire towards IDF forces in a clear and blatant violation of UN security council resolution 1701.<br /><br />The IDF retaliated with artillery and helicopter fire.<br /><br />IDF intelligence is investigating if this was premiedtated attack.<br /><br />The LAF opened fire not at the soldiers who were doing the routine maintainance work on the fence, but at the commanders who were standing nearby observing the work. this indicates that it was a preplanned attack not in reaction to the work on the fence.<br /><br />we estimate 4 casualties on their side. <br /><br />some parts of the LAF are influenced by Hezbollah<br /><br />after the initial exchange of fire, we were requested to suspend our fire so that they could evacuate their wounded. roughly half an hour after we suspended our fire, LAF shot an RPG at one of our tanks. They missed the tank and our tank returned fire. <br /><br />IDF only opened fire in response to our soldiers being shot at and wounded. <br /><br />this is the most serious incident along the northern border since 2006. <br /><br /><br />Official Casualty Statement:<br /><br />Lt Col (res) killed: Dov Harari.<br />Critically wounded (res) company commander (Captain).The back of the hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05564245223453467132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-53277475006185549542010-08-03T19:39:04.702+03:002010-08-03T19:39:04.702+03:00http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/mesh/2008/07/us_suppo...<a href="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/mesh/2008/07/us_support_for_lebanese_army/" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/mesh/2008/07/us_support_for_lebanese_army/</a><br /><br />Link from Noah, one of our readers.<br /><br />This is a question that is clearly going to need some serious answers.JoeSettlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01232647820807408898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-38072118470084894732010-08-03T18:53:01.264+03:002010-08-03T18:53:01.264+03:00Found a picture on "Le Monde" clearly sh...Found a picture on "Le Monde" clearly showing UN soldiers protecting the Lebanese Army. <br /><br />See the picture here: <br />http://www.shimshon9.com/soldiers-protecting-lebanese-army/03/08/2010/Shimshonhttp://www.shimshon9.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-63015375849042984512010-08-03T18:11:58.406+03:002010-08-03T18:11:58.406+03:00Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the source.Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the <a href="http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/About+the+Ministry/MFA+Spokesman/2010/Firing-on-IDF-patrol-from-Lebanon-3-Aug-2010.htm" rel="nofollow">source</a>.JoeSettlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01232647820807408898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-31494752401679634852010-08-03T18:08:30.515+03:002010-08-03T18:08:30.515+03:005:25 PM Work on fence was done in coordination wit...5:25 PM Work on fence was done in coordination with UNIFIL.<br /><br />Could you provide a source for this?
