Atlas Shrugs points us to this breaking development on the Israel Lebanon border. Lebanese forces fired on an IDF position forcing the Israelis to open fire with tank rounds on Lebanese troop positions. This all went down in an area where Hezbollah planted mines on the Israeli side of the border.
The Unifil force is being accused by Israel of allowing Hezbollah to plant the mine, and they have yet to take action in regards to the recent firefight. Israel will not cross the border for now, but in the face of such clear provocations, how long will that last.
Is this the next stage in Hezbollah’s campaign to destabilize Lebanon’s government? Another war with Israel will create chaos in the region that will certainly benefit extremist groups.
