Israeli Soldier Killed amid Tensions on Border with Lebanon
An Israeli soldier was killed and an officer was wounded Wednesday when their military vehicle flipped over in the occupied Shebaa Farms, the Israeli army said.
Earlier in the day, two shells landed in the occupied Farms after being fired during an Israeli drill in the Golan Heights, sparking fires in the area and prompting Israel to scramble firefighting vehicles.
An Israeli tank also fired 14 shells near Bustra in the occupied Farms.
Israel has reportedly beefed up its measures on the border with Lebanon after a Hizbullah fighter was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Syria.
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah had vowed that the group would retaliate from Lebanon whenever Israel kills Hizbullah members in Syria.

Israel is awaiting the first shell or bullet to cross the border from Hizballah, so that they can retaliate, and what a retaliation it will be.

So you are saying Israel can do whatever they want with no consequences to their action. I am no fan of Hizaballah but Israel needs to be a good neighbor.

"Israel needs to be a good neighbour".
It has tried to be a good neighbour with the Republic of Lebanon since 1948, even signed a draft peace treaty with it in the 1980's. A treaty which was torn up by your then Syrian occupiers, and the matter was not brought up again by the Lebanese even after the Syrians were thrown out.
Your government constantly continues breaking 1701 by allowing Hizballah, to situate their armed terrorists on the border.
Israel will not attack the Republic of Lebanon except in the case of retaliation for Hizballah cross border attacks.

Once again, as usual, bigjohn you get your facts wrong.
The Shebaa Farms are not Lebanese territory, occupied or not, according to the UN.

The only rerrorist in that region is Israel. Steal the land, kill the residents and call everyone around them terrorists. Hitler had them figured out for what they are.
