Report: Lebanon to Ask Major Powers for Help to Confront Israeli Spying
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanese officials will ask the representatives of major powers for equipment to block Israeli espionage on Lebanon, As Safir newspaper reported on Monday.
The daily said that the ambassadors of the major powers that are permanent U.N. Security Council members in addition to the EU's top diplomat in Lebanon will attend a meeting of the joint parliamentary committees next week.
The meeting that is scheduled to be held on Nov. 26 to tackle the spying issue will also be attended by the representatives of the ministries of foreign affairs, communication and defense in addition to the army leadership.
The Lebanese officials will ask the ambassadors for the equipment after Israel installed spying stations along its border with southern Lebanon.
The Jewish State has also put in place devices that were directed toward major mobile phone stations in Lebanon to wiretap conversations.
According to As Safir, the spying is also affecting the work of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon.
It quoted a military source as saying that Lebanon needed equipment worth 20 million dollars to block the spying.
The parliamentary telecommunications committee denounced on Monday the Israeli espionage stations along the border as violation of Lebanon's sovereignty, pointing out that it is happening despite United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 and the presence of U.N. peacekeepers south of the Litani river.
The biggest espionage station is allegedly installed in al-Abbad and Jan al-Alam areas, which are located near the U.N. demarcated Blue line.

"According to As Safir, the spying is also affecting the work of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon."
So why don't THEY complain?
Israel builds on Israeli territory and still the Lebanese Government complains. Are they also going to demand that satellites including Israels cease flying over Lebanese airspace? What can be seen and heard from a satellite is almost certainly more than what can be seen and heard from a ground station.

and regarding help from major powers, i would get my expectations too high. the only ones who possibly could would be the russians.

Maybe Nasrallah should ask his boss the Ayatollah to send him the equipment, instead of more rockets on the next shipment.

don't even say more.... they are so terrible!
China sends rockets into space and Moon
Indian sends rockets to Mars
Iran sends rockets to Lebanon
Which one is useful and productive? #1 and 2 are constructive. #3 is destructive.
May God curse Iran and its agents for destroying LEbanon.

why don't they fire them straight from iran? because they are too coward to do it? they don't want Israel to destroy Iran but it's okay for them to destroy Lebanon. they obviously have missiles that cover the distance/range between Isfahan and Tel Aviv.

@Southern : Shut up already. Israel is now your new partner.
Iran and Hezbollah have signed a deal with the US making Israel your ally :)
You are the new zionists now :)
Yalla, drop your weapons ...

The difference my friend is that Hezbollah / M8 opponents (M14 or others) are not puppets and tools to be used by foreign regimes ...
We answer to no one and take orders from no one.
You on the other hand let go of your so called convictions as soon as the order is given. It's because you have no convictions. Only demagogy.

Losers are people who need weapons and use the politics of fear to impose their ideas.
Winners are the rest of us who need nothing but words and logic. Something you will always lack !

@FT : those leaders you mention are outside Lebanon because Syria / Hezbollah either tried to kill them or is trying to. The same reason your defected general fled Lebanon ...
Regarding your "National Talks" in "Lebanon", please remind Aoun that Lebanon is not a Syrian or Iranian province ... he seems to forget that way too often...
If I were a politician, I would refuse to hold such talks in Lebanon because I do not trust Hezbollah would not try to kill me or use these talks as a pretext to get me back to Lebanon and make me an easy target.

Milk this issue to the last drop, An imaginary threat that is being blown out of proportion and used to try to unify the masses against a common enemy. Is there nothing else to prevent the Lebanese from cutting each others throats but to direct their frustrations and anger with each other at Israel. Can't we find any other unifying factor to be able to live with each other. Is our hatred of Israel all that unites us? If we would not be stuck with the Aounies, I would advocate partition.

Southern: As a result of the 2006 war, HA secured Israel's northern border. The treaty that HA signed to stop its inhalation by the Israeli army is saving Israel a total of 5 billion dollars every year. Enough said.
