UN Secretary General Kofi Annan announced Saturday night that the IDF activities in Baalbek constitute a violation of the UN cease-fire resolution that went into effect on Monday.
In a telephone conversation with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Annan discussed the Lebanese claims that Israel was in violation of UN Resolution 1701 after IDF troops raided Baalbek overnight Friday - less than a week after the ceasefire went into effect between Israel and Hizbullah.
Less than a week after a cease-fire went into effect, soldiers from the Sayeret Matkal (General Staff Reconnaissance Unit) raided Baalbek deep in Lebanon overnight Friday and, according to the IDF, thwarted the transfer of weapons from Syria to Hizbullah.
An IDF officer, Lt.-Col. Emanuel Morano, 35, from Telamim was killed and two others were wounded in the raid, one seriously and one lightly. Three Hizbullah gunmen were reportedly killed, although the terrorist organization denied suffering any losses.
Defense Minister Amir Peretz said Saturday night that the operation in Baalbek had not violated the UN-brokered cease-fire that went into effect on Monday.
"This was an operation that was meant to prevent the rearming of Hizbullah," Peretz said.
Baalbek is said to be the birthplace of the Iranian- and Syrian-backed Hizbullah and is located in the eastern Bekaa Valley some 100 kilometers north of the Israeli border.
Earlier in the month, the Sayeret Matkal and Shaldag (the air force's elite commando unit) raided the area and took five captives after killing more than 15 gunmen. A high-ranking IDF officer said last week that throughout the previous month of warfare, commandos had carried out dozens of covert operations inside Lebanon.
Lebanon's Prime Minister Fuad Saniora accused Israel of violating the cease-fire and said he would take up the issue with UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan.

Way to go IDF !!!!
Well, right, silly. The resolution was never meant to disarm Hezbollah, it was meant to assist terrorists in wiping Israel off the face of the earth.
And the Israelis are supposed to stick to their end of the resolution and and help the terrorists and the UN exterminate them.
My goodness, you would think that the UN was actually out to establish genuine peace in the region or something!
"Hezbollah only seeks these arms in order to use them to clear the rubble caused by Israeli War Crimes, and to build new orphanages. Look at the flag of Hezbollah and you can see that we mean to bring Peace."
"Here are men on their way to rebuild a school now."

When Israel called up the reserves a few days before the cease-fire, some spoke to reporters...these were men in their 'thirties, with wives and children, as opposed to the soldiers that went into Lebanon originally (who were in their 'twenties). Reservists were angry and said they were cannon fodder, fighting for nothing...certainly not victory. Diplomacy was going to be rammed down Israel's throat by those bumbling civilian leaders. Well, they were right and Israel must be hopping mad. I don't see how Olmert can survive as P.M..
Yeah Kofi and while you are there try to explain how Hizballah got all those missiles while your boys were watching. Al;so please explain when you plan on disarming Hizballah which was promised.
If Kofi were smart he would STFU/
The only reporter I have seen with the guts to ask a question like that is the Fox reporter who has been a pit bull in his investiagtion of the Food for Oil scandel.
The last I saw, he was not even premitted in the UN building anymore.

Yes, of course not. You see, Israel has a lot of Jews in it, while Hizballah doesn't. So to think that the same rules apply to Israel as to Hizballah terrorists is just downright silly.
This raid, as reported, doesn't make a lot of sense to me. The loss of highly-skilled commandos is a blow. I hope something major was accomplished. At the moment, we're not getting the story.
What a flaming weasel. The IDF is doing what the UN says it would do and hasn't - keep arms from getting to Hiz. And all Koffee can do is bleat.
...
Without a strong Israel the war against our unspeakable enemy will be long and uncertain. I sure wish Ari were still alive and healthy.
I agree. Sharon's voice and presence are missing and that has been very evident. If you have a chance read his autobiography Warrior.
Their real purpose was the capture of a high ranking Hezbolla Oficial. According to eye witnesses they captured no hardware.
Kofi Annan - Ever time he opens his mouth nothing but stupid comes out.
Koffe Anus sure is quick to condemn Israel, but doesn't say ONE WORD about Hezbollah reaming with the aid of SYRIA AND IRAN. Koffee Anus needs to be kicked out of the UN NOW> He clearly supports Islamic terrorism all over the world.
The bible doesn't say that. In fact,Christs rule on earth is nearing it's end. Christs rules from the new kingdom in the third heaven after his second coming.
The proof that this prophecy has been fulfilled can be seen in two momentous events: the unprecedented global warfare that has characterized the Twentieth Century, and the quiet transition from Christian to secular rule across the planet that has accompanied all this warfare.
The millennium of world Christian rule, then, has come and gone and almost no one on earth realizes that such an event has even occurred. Instead of premillennium's and postmillennium's, God has given us a contemporary millennium, and it has come wrapped in the peal of church bells.
The millenium of the Messiah encompasses the duration of Christ's treaty of peace with Babylon(biblical name for the world). It describes the time alloted for salvation on earth before the gate is closed and Jesus returns. We can see that it has lasted almost 2000 years. That means God has doubled the millenium, giving us, in His benevolence, twice what the prophecies stipulated.
That He would do this was foreseen by Joshua.
The duration of Christ's offer on earth is described as the "Day of Atonement". As long as it lasts it represents the light of Christ beaming on earth. It is a "Day of the Lord" a day described in scripture as being 1000 years as far as man is concerned (Ps.90:4). The word "millenium", then, means "Day" of God.
Joshua prophesied that Christ's "Day" would be extended by God. Under the influence of the Holy Spirit, he said that the sun did not set for almost two days (Joshua 10:13-14). That is precisely where we are now. It has been almost 2000 years since Christ walked and preached on earth.
And, true to the prophecy, we can see a "Great Revolt" sweeping God's offer of reconciliation away. The 'Son' is setting; darkness is returning. God's offer is about to be withdrawn. The gate is closing, bringing the 'millenium' of Jesus on earth to an end. That, of course, is what "Persia" is all about, the blistering east winds of prophecy that have now begun to blow in from the Euphrates.
