Hizbollah and the Israeli Army have been trading blows once more across the border fence. But instead of attacking each other with artillery shells and missiles, the two sides have resorted to paint guns and eggs.
Israel’s Maariv daily reported Tuesday that Israeli soldiers based in the massive concrete compound on the summit of Sheikh Abbad Hill hurled eggs Monday at two Hizbollah fighters manning an observation post on the other side of the fence.
The startled Hizbollah fighters refrained from retaliating but formally protested the incident to UNIFIL. The egg-throwing was preceded Saturday by four Lebanese hurling Ping Pong balls at the outpost. A few days earlier, a suspected Hizbullah member fired a paint gun through the fence at an Israeli soldier. The Israeli Army told Maariv it was unaware of eggs being thrown across the border but would investigate. UNIFIL confirmed the incident to The Daily Star, saying it was likely the work of “hotheaded” soldiers. “It’s better than firing an M-16,” a UNIFIL officer said.

Right now, Iran is sending ostrich hens to the West Bank and Israel is developing a "Paint-a-pult" to lob five-gallon buckets at targets up to 100 yards away.
LOL!!
"Or if you prefer psychochemical warfare -- and you don't mind cleaning up a nasty mess afterwards -- put 4 tbsp of blood meal into a water balloon, shake till dissolved. (Helps if you use warm tapwater). Keep in fridge -- you want it to smell like fresh blood, and if it ferments what results is just indescribable. Throw on Mr. (or Ms.) Deer, head shots are best. Not only does the smell give them a good scare, so that they depart at a high rate of speed displaying neither lights nor turn signal, but it tends to make them associate the place they got bombed as a Bad Place.
If you're careful, you can throw the blood balloon with a slingshot for more range, but it's not very accurate, and if you mess up with it, your family will make you sleep in the yard till October. Other caution: deer hit with those things completely _panic_ and will run onto highways, through crowds of people, etc., so only use if there's a good escape route."
