Israel Holds Lebanese Govt. Responsible for Rocket Attack, Netanyahu Threatens Retaliation

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Thursday of retaliation after a volley of rockets were fired from southern Lebanon at the Jewish state, causing no casualties or damage.

"Anyone who harms us, or tries to harm us, should know -- we will strike them," he said in a televised address.

Meanwhile, Israeli army spokesman Avichai Adraee held the Lebanese government responsible for "rocket attacks from its territory."

He revealed that Israeli army chief Benny Gantz was evaluating the situation together with the military's top officers.

Unknown militants fired four rockets from the southern region of Tyre towards northern Israel earlier on Thursday.

“Four rockets were fired from an area between Hawsh and the al-Rashidiyeh (Palestinian refugee) camp towards the Occupied Territories (northern Israel),” Lebanon's National News Agency reported.

LOL @ Niten yahoo. The Islamic Iranian Resistance aka HA (Hussain Army) is waiting for your move to teach you a lesson. You will look back at the 2006 war and say "Amaan Ya Rabbi Amaan".

Natin yahoo, please bomb the hizb territories and not Lebanon as we are de facto not the same country anymore. They have their own army, checkpoints, intelligence, port and airport.

Agree with cedre. Dont try to punish all Lebanon like you did in 2006. Its counter productive going after infra-structure and Hizbollah soldiers that hides out and launch attacks from non shia-areas. Hit them where it hurts the most, in their own back yards. Make them loose support among their own ranks by showing that there is no such thing as a divine victory.

Bachar is Israel's ally; Hezbollah is Bachar's ally; hence Hezbollah is also Israel's ally.

The only losers are us, the democratic and pacific Lebanese... We only care about our economy and well being of our people.... Which isn't of Israel's taste since we compete with them. Nasrallah is just trying to make sure we don't thrive economically.....

It's so bloody obvious.

its amal that fought the palestinians in the south and the camps, its HA that got rid of any sunni elements in the resistance in the south.
Israel is the pretext that helped HA to take over Lebanon. Israel invaded the south when palestinians where fighting there and left when HA took control. Jews know that shias hate sunnis more than anybody.

Divide et impera. They master this very well!

First, HezbAllah is a legitimate resistance to Israel, even if they are pro Iran and Shia, they do scare Israel and therefore can be considered a resistance (even if you dont believe in their political ideology).
Secondly, Israel can never be trusted, they were the ones that worked with ASSAD to kill president-elect Bashir Gemayel. Their objective is to protect their land and their ECONOMIC INTERESTS, knowing Lebanon is more powerful then Israel is, Israel always seeks to undermine Lebanon (both politically and militarily) . Dont make the mistake of thinking anyone is friends with Lebanon. The only friends Lebanon has is its own population - they just need to sort out their differences.

Dead wrong cedar in each and every word you said :( read history !!!

And as for that "legitimate resistance to Israel": dude, I'll lend them my own GPS kit, but Israel is Southwards, not in Syria! And what sort of resistance could you possibly be talking about when they're hacking at the elderly with machetes? When they fought against Israel in 2006, pretty much all of Lebanon rallied behind them even though we all knew that technically Hizb started it, even though we all were wary of them prior to that due to their involvement in the assassination of our politicians. But before the same year was out, they occupied downtown and led to the economic crisis that all M8 supporters have been so fond of placing squarely on M14's shoulders. Shù 3am ti7kinè “resistance” w ballouta? Much less “legitimate”...

Cedar. Hezbollah IS NOT a Legitimate resistance. Youre completely wrong. It WAS a legitimate resistance.

Sure, Israel doesn't have friends. They have political deals with Egypt and Jordan. It could. Perfectly be the same for us yet some people are reluctant to move on because the sectarian balance would be at stake. This is where everyone is wrong. At least if we beleive in Darwinism.... There are so many options that no one ever dares to consider such as asking the refugee to convert to christianism if they want to remain on our and and acquire the citizenship.
