Lebanese Army Opens Fire on IDF Helicopters
22:47 Jul 30, '06 / 5 Av 5766

(IsraelNN.com) Lebanese army soldiers opened fire on IDF helicopters attempting to land in the Bekaa
Valley Sunday night and prevented them from landing, according to Lebanese sources quoted by Reuters
News Agency.

The helicopters flew away without damage after apparently trying to land Israeli soldiers near a town in
the area. It was the first reported firing by the Lebanese army on the IDF since the Hizbullah terrorist war
began July 12.

Israel has said it will not attack the Lebanese army on condition that it does not aid Hizbullah terrorists.

Every report cites "Lebanese sources". That's not three unconnected sources, that is one source, biased.

There is very little common sense for Israel to be running spot SOF raids right now, with one possible exception, against a WMD facility.

Until other sources back this up, I have a big question mark attached to it.

How about this one?

"Israel hits Beirut - Damascus road at border with Syrian border

An Israeli air strike hit Lebanon's road to Damascus at the border with Syria for a second

consecutive night on Sunday, witnesses said. The raid struck between Lebanese and Syrian immigration

offices, but on the Lebanese side of the border in the same place hit by warplanes on Saturday.

The border was open on Sunday, but people arriving in Lebanon were forced to leave their cars, walk around the bomb crater and find new transportation on the Lebanese side of the border. (Reuters)"
