Annan: Israeli Commando Raid Violated Cease-Fire
Fox News Network ^ | Saturday, August 19, 2006 | Fox News

BEIRUT, Lebanon — U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said that an Israeli commando raid deep in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley on Saturday violated the U.N. brokered cease-fire deal, 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.

"All such violations of Security Council resolution 1701 endanger the fragile calm that was reached after much negotiation and undermine the authority of the Government of Lebanon," Annan said in a statement on the United Nations website. "The Secretary-General further calls on all parties to respect strictly the arms embargo, exercise maximum restraint, avoid provocative actions and display responsibility in implementing resolution 1701."

According to the statement, UNIFIL forces in the area say that there have also been several air violations by Israeli military aircraft.

The Israeli army confirmed it blew up a bridge near the Bekaa Valley town of Baalbek. It said the move was meant to prevent more Hezbollah fighters from reaching the area where Israeli commandos were battling the guerrilla.

The US focus is Iran. We are letting the UN hang itself so they will not interfere when we decide to move.

respect strictly the arms embargo

Is this voluntary? The ceasefire agreement has to have teeth or it is nothing but a waste of paper.

But, the smuggling of arms to kill Israelis is ok, ay Kofi?

Go back to the Ghana shack where you came from.

"Annan: Israeli Commando Raid Violated Cease-Fire"

That we continue to listen to anything this Annan creep has to say indicates a national character flaw. We need to divorce ourselves from people like this.

Collin Powell 2002 said that Iraq would be a turning and defining point for the UN in it's world wide credibility.

Guess what? He was right. The UN is done and I do believe even Annan is realizing this.

i guess i missed the part where Kofi condemned Lebanon for deciding not to disarm Hizbollah per the UN resolution, and Hizbollah for not voluntarily disarming. let's all ignore Kofi the way he ignores the infractions of the Arabs and the Iranians, and the French, and the Russians, and the...

Perhaps the question to be posed to the UN assembly is: Was the UN resolution intended to truly end the fighting, or give cover to re-arm Hezbollah?
I think the answer is pretty obvious.

What about the Katyusha rockets that were fired
into Southern Lebanon after the so-called cease-fire.

Or didn't that count?

Annan is an Iraeli hating incompetent twit that is not qualified to manage a one man business. I hope both Israel and the US ignore him.
