BEIRUT, Lebanon — Lebanon threatened on Saturday to halt troop deployments to the south of the country after Israeli commandos struck deep in the Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, putting the six-day cease-fire with Hezbollah guerrillas to a critical test .

Israel said the raid was launched to stop arms smuggling to the militant Shiite fighters, but Lebanon said the operation violated the U.N. truce agreement. One Israeli officer was killed fighting Hezbollah guerrillas, and two were wounded, one seriously.

I fear until Israel has a new P.M. this all may be for naught.

The Syrian arms going to the Hezbos was NOT a violation of the ceasefire.(?) Just to keep things straight now.

Oh this is going to be rich. The UN will hold a special session to condemn this Israeli violation of the cease fire. LOL!

Any takers as to when Coffee Asswipe shoots off his trap bitching about this Israeli aggression?

The Hezzies could march on Tel Aviv and I don't think Olmert would consider the cease fire violated.

So the Hezzies are supposed to be disarmed but it's all right for the Syrians to give them arms.

Lebanese Sheep Threaten Ceasefire after Israeli Cow 'Invasion' During War!

Shepherds straying into disputed areas in southern Lebanon threaten to upset a truce between Israel and Hizbullah fighters, United Nations peacekeepers warned Friday.
Two Lebanese shepherds and 100 sheep on Thursday crossed the Blue Line into Israel -- the border drawn by the U.N. between the Jewish state and Lebanon after the Israeli army withdrew from the south of the country in May 2000, the U.N. said in a statement.

"Such incidents can endanger (a) very fragile and tense situation," it said.

The ceasefire began Monday following Israel's devastating month-long offensive against Hizbullah in the south.

Last week the Israeli Yediot Aharonot daily reported that dozens of hungry cows whose pasture land in northern Israel were reduced to ashes by Hizbullah rockets found a hole in the border fence and moved to Lebanon for healthier grazing.

The cows used a breach made in the border by Israeli units that battled Hizbullah for a month.

After Monday's ceasefire, there were no reports that cows were still crossing Israeli territory into southern Lebanon.

But Hezbollah seems like such a reasonable organization?

Islamofascism is an apt description. The Islamists are nazi in spirit, communist in organization and fascist in their adoration of terror and war as the engine of historical change.

(No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo!)
