Israeli planes dropped thousands of leaflets denouncing Hezbollah guerrillas over the Lebanese capital of Beirut and its suburbs this morning, two days after some of the worst border clashes in southern Lebanon in several years.
Lebanese security officials said the roar of jets was heard over the city before dawn after which thousands of leaflets were dropped.
“To the Lebanese citizens, who protects Lebanon?” read the small paper leaflet written in Arabic. “Who is lying to you? Who is sending your children to a battle they are not ready for? Who wishes the return of the destruction? Who is the tool in the hand of his Syrian and Iranian masters?”
Then in bold letters, it said: “Hezbollah is causing enormous harm to Lebanon,” adding that Israel was determined to protect its citizens.
The note was signed “The State of Israel.”
There was no immediate comment from Israel.
It was the first time in many years that Israeli planes dropped leaflets over the Lebanese capital.
One more clue that there is a lot more to attaining peace in the Middle East than cracking the heads of two leaders at Camp David.
Perhaps the Red State flyers should start doing this over places like San Francisco, where ordinary citizens are held in thrall by ideological terrorists.
I'm a little confused by the date of the post/artcle.
Lebanon was warned in November 2005.
