Israel Uses Reconnaissance Air Balloon to Monitor Lebanese Border Towns

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

An Israeli reconnaissance air balloon flew on Thursday over the orchards of the southern border towns of Kfarkila and Adaisseh, the state-run National news agency reported.

According to NNA, the air balloon was equipped with developed surveillance cameras and could monitor the areas near the settlement of al-Mtolleh, which overlooks the Lebanese territories.

On Wednesday, Israel said it fired at and hit two members of Hizbullah as they tried to plant a bomb near the Israeli-Syrian border, but Syrian state media accused the Jewish state of targeting its forces.

The incident came just over a week after reports that Israeli warplanes bombarded a Hizbullah position in Jinta on the Lebanese-Syrian border.

Hizbullah threatened to retaliate for what was the first reported Israeli air raid on a position of the Shiite party inside Lebanon since the 2006 war between them.

here we go again. HA provoking israel by smuggling weapons and openly threatening them at every opportunity etc..etc..etc.. Israeli retaliate and before we know it another conflict. some will no doubt argue HA is protecting itself from the zionist agressor who want to take over lebanon,and some will argue the opposite. in any case both are to be condemned for their clear violations and provocations. clearly both sides are at fault...

Erect another, even larger baloon in the lebanese side and make the hand gestures they deserve.

Poor rains this winter and the possibility that this Summer will be a hot one, all these don't make for comfortable thinking. Guys, keep taking the matter as a subject to laugh about, but a passport renewal won't be entirely futile either.

Why don't you hire the Israelis to build you a water desalination plant? They are champions in that field!!! Google "Water desalination" Israel!

Wrong, those are paparazzi trying to crash a birthday party. All we are missing are the clowns. I take it back, we have a whole bunch of them in Lebanon. So we are good to go.
