Hizbullah Claims Responsibility for Border Blast that Wounded 2 Israeli Soldiers
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah claimed responsibility on Tuesday of a blast on the border between Lebanon and Israel that wounded two Israeli soldiers.
An explosive device targeted an Israeli patrol in the Shebaa Farms in southern Lebanon, said the party.
“The group of the martyr Hassan Ali Haidar carried out the operation today, Tuesday at 2:22 p.m.,” it added.
Media reports had earlier claimed that three Israeli troops were wounded in the incident, which al-Jazeera television said targeted an Israeli tank.
An Israel army spokeswoman confirmed that two troops were wounded when an explosive device was detonated during activities by the Israeli army near the Lebanese border.
The attack prompted a retaliation by Israel, which fired artillery shells at a number of positions in Shebaa, the nearby Kfarshouba Hills, and al-Saddaneh area.
Two Hizbullah posts were also shelled in southern Lebanon, said the Israeli army.
Al-Manar TV, which is affiliated with the party, later denied the shelling of Hizbullah positions.
It said that the party does not hold such posts in the area, which are only occupied by Lebanese army and United Nations peacekeeping forces.
The Lebanese army and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon went on alert in the area following the unrest.
Israeli drones are hovering over the area of the blast that targeted an Israeli tank, al-Manar reported.
UNIFIL later issued a statement saying that “at approximately 14:30 p.m., the Israel Defense Forces confirmed that two IDF soldiers were wounded at an Israeli position in the Shebaa area as a result of an improvised explosive device.”
“The explosion was followed by IDF retaliatory artillery fire towards the general area of Kfarshouba hills,” it added.
“On receiving this information, UNIFIL contacted both parties urging maximum restraint and asking them to cooperate with UNIFIL in order to reduce tension and prevent escalation,” it continued.
UNIFIL is launching an investigation to determine the facts and circumstances of the incident
“This incident is a violation of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701. Such actions are in contravention of our objectives and efforts to reduce tensions and establish a stable and secure environment in southern Lebanon,” it concluded.
Later on Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the Israeli soldiers “thwarted a terrorist attack in the north,” reported Ynet news agency.
"We've proven that we react with force to any attempt to harm us, whether it's in the south or another front," he said.
"We're witnessing the threats accumulating around us, these threats the whole world already knows about and is already dealing with some of them," he stressed.
These threats obligated Israel "to invest considerable amounts in security, and invest in communities near the border alongside that,” said Israel's Ynet news.
On Sunday, a Lebanese soldier was injured in a shooting from Israel near Kfarshouba, prompting a retaliatory shooting from the Lebanese military.
On September 20, an Israeli surveillance drone crashed in the town of Sarda in the Marjeyoun district.
Israel frequently flies drones over Lebanese territories in what Lebanese authorities say are violations of the country's sovereignty and United Nations Security Council resolution 1701.
Hizbullah military expert Hussein Haidar was killed as an Israeli drone remotely detonated a spy device he was dismantling in the southern coastal town of Adloun on September 5.

But you're talking about 31 years ago, we weren't even born. You can't blame us for the previous generation's mistakes.
But we know that Israel and Syria negotiated Lebanon . Syria kept Lebanon, Israel kept the Golan.... The peace treaty was not real!

+1000 smarty, exactly that. zionists hate all arabs, and not just muslims. any goyim is worth killing, like any kafir is worth killing for takfiris. these two have incredibly similar mentalities.
07 October 2014, 17:30

the only arabs who are not israel's enemy are israel's slaves. jordan gave up all their dignity along with their country when they accepted to be a parking lot for expelled palestinians. now 70% of jordan's population is palestinian, they have become a minority in their own country.
we will not bend, and israel is a paper tiger that will not last.

anonyme, even though 8 dead hezbollah fighters is 8 dead too many, i would like to bring you back to reality and tell you that it was very little in light of two things:
-the thousands of nusra attackers (they attacked 8 positions simultaneously, and each positiion was attacked by hundreds, do the maths)
-it was very little in comparison to the day when they had to clear the terrorists in quseyr, so this attack is hardly the "greatest Single Day Losses" (Why The Capitals btw? it Doesnt Make it Any More Dramatic)
07 October 2014, 15:53
78
actually, hizbushaitan lost 4 positions to alnusra, as well al nusra got one hizbushaitan element as prisoner.
07 October 2014, 16:03

For LEGAL PURPOSES i duly ask Naharnet not to display anymore posts that support terrorist organization such hezbullah. We do know that few people do support hezbullah that has nothing to do with our Culture, History and Human Dignity...please proceed quickly. Thank you

hizbushaitan is loosing ground and popularity and they need to try and change that trend.
they are wrong in thinking that any Lebanese will help them or their families.
if there is a war with Israel, they cannot count on the Lebanese people anymore.
they have harmed the Lebanese people enough.

@veritas
do not mind these guys, they are lost these days :)
hizbushaitan is loosing ground everywhere, they do not know what to say but attack others stupidly.
if that was not enough, they have their pathetic voting machines at work.
they are so childish and pathetic to even bother about things like votes :) :) :) this shows how much they are loosing ground :)
07 October 2014, 16:37

no voting up or down a comment does not change anything.
but m8 guys like to give the illusion that a lot of people agree with them so they have their voting machine (which is basically a stupid guy with several accounts who votes them up)
they are childish and stupid. each time I see this happening, I note their stupidity once more, and it reminds me I should not discuss with stupid illiterate idiots.

I agree 100% with southern's statement, this attack is by the zionists in response for their terrorist friends heavily beaten yesterday.
By the way, the zionist terrorist group just claimed responsibility for the blast, southern is a genius

why would hezb, a seasoned fighting force, offer its flank to israel,
@ft it's because the Iranians ordered, simple. No one in Lebanon matters when the divine orders come, ask Farid Khazen and Ibrahim Kanaan.

WOW all the brainiacs above convinced that this was not a hezballah attack but rather the work of terrorists takfiris must be really embarrassed right about now if they had any self respect that is, a big if!

Flame are u completly stupid or al manar/otv/sana burned ur brain??
Hezbollah was created in 1984 so before the 80s it wasnot existing yet this is a fact
Betwwen 1984 and 1987 he spent most of his time fughting amal movement like aklim al toufah battle 3000 deads (and th's a fact to)
After it started the assassination of other patriotic resistant, political opponents, leftist, comunists also a fact can be coraborated by nahar archive or any journal then
Without forgetting foreign diplomates, journalist kidnapping (but any other milliciw was like this, time of war...)

During the 90 comunists still carried resistance acts but most died on their way to the frontiere and shot on their way back (aka multiple telivised speaches of george hawi, dahrouj...) so i'll take them as facts but if u want u can still debate this
07 October 2014, 18:29
44
After israel withdrawl anyone (including aoun) asking for official lebanese armed forces to be sent to south was treated by hezbos as treator also facts
Hezbollah was until then considered as a militia and his armed as foreign syrian arms in lebanon by aoun (syria accountablity act temember flame?

Maybe u meant when it did really integer the state u know with 6wqnted by international tribunal for assassination of lebanese politicians and security personel, one wanted by lebanese justice (now martyr) for attempt of assassination of butros harb (or maybe he was just fixing the elevators.. 7 ayyar, black shirts, tripoli bombings (their friends) michel smaha (their friend), assassination of hachem salaman (even if ambassi scurity would have been like this if us embassy kills protestant oustide its door, would u hv accepted this?

your problem flamethrower is that you are always disconnected from reality as this thread has shown. Reality always disproves your propaganda but you refuse to see because you are paid to refuse it. The other day you kept insisting there were only 3 HA dead and were throwing insults and quoting articles and you were still insisting. Then reality hits you in the face and you are once again exposed for all your lies and hatred. By the way, waynah Caroline?

17 minutes ago Hizbullah official source to al-Mayadeen: The operation (in Shebaa) is a response to the collusion between the takfiri groups in Syria and the Israeli enemy.
this is shameful and blatant terrorism. This sectarian party is taking the country to war for what it believes is collusion between Israel and the so-called takfiri groups in where? IN SYRIA !!!!!!! The FPM are supporting this terrorist group and risking our futures in support of hizballah agenda in Syria.

Flame it is hard to do assumptions when u don't have all the facts (none of us here does except magnificent roar maybe) so being wrong while doing assumption is normal no big deal
It is even harder when u concider that hezbos are not sectarian, that they are not dirrectly link to iran/assad and that they donnot have regional agenda despite lebanon interest... Being in irak/yemen should hv rang a bell man, suprem leadder ayatollah el khomaini man...
Anyway i think we will all soon need some chupachups....

Flamer, stop this Hezbo propaganda regarding Shebaa Farms. If you ever read history, while the Farms at one point were indeed Lebanese, by the time Israel captured it, it was Syrian territory. While there may have been Lebanese in the Farms, they were Lebanese farmers who were farming in Syrian territory. Land records show that the people living in this area were paying taxes to the Syrian government since the 1950s. When asked about the Farms, Hafez al-Assad said "Syria and Lebanon are a single country."
The UN even confirmed that these lands were Syrian territory under the 1923 demarcation line set by the French and British, and also the 1949 armistice line. The idea that the Farms are Lebanese is Hezbollah's excuse to keep their weapons.
07 October 2014, 20:26
25
Syria also refused to demarcate its borders with Lebanon. While it claims the Farms are Lebanese, it has not presented anything to the UN to prove it. Assad claims the border can't be demarcated until Israel withdraws, when in reality the border would take an hour or so just to demarcate the area because it's so small of an area. Some Lebanese can own land in Syria; just because they're Lebanese doesn't make the territory Lebanese.
07 October 2014, 20:29

Even nassrallah said it outload in one of his great televised speach; even if frontiere were demacrated, even if saniora can get back chebaa from un resolution our arms are her to stay.... Blabla qods, blablabla palestinian cause... Eventhought palestinian (except hihad, faten intifada, ahmad jebril ;u know the good guys) palestinians are fed up with those and are playing nicely diplomatic card...
Flame please get back to some kind of realitty, maybe u din't like hariri economic standards (not talking of stealling cause beri and majless el jnoub, kawmi baath and ministry of labor, jumby with ministery if mouhajarin...all stolled even ur de allies) maybe u don't like warlord(even if u are cheering for a part of them)..anyway how can u support a sectarian millicia that doesnot care of lebanese justice, that is engaged in war in irak/syria/yemen and god knows where?....
Man some comon sence......

07 October 2014, 21:39

You should rather ask yourself, doesn't this incident disprove your false statements about the two working together?
I got an answer to that question of yours, Israel keeps touching the fire, in order to provocate the Resistance, well this time they actually burned themselves.
07 October 2014, 21:56

Hey American, when Israel bombs, you tell everyone not to worry, when Hezbollah fights back, you tell everyone to go underground. I think you fear more for Israels security than Lebanons.
By the way, Hezb does not hide, they try their best to take these civilians to shelthers, but ofcourse Israel has a way to target directly at civilian areas. But ofcourse that don't matter right? Since it is only Shia muslims that dies mostly.
07 October 2014, 22:13
23
Of course it's Shia who mostly die, they're the only ones who are allowed to take up resistance, while all others are arrested for carrying illegal arms.
07 October 2014, 22:15

End of discussion? That doesn't look like you texas, you are mostly able to provide Naharnet with tons of garbage, I guess you ran out of that, when I told everyone the truth yes?

anonymetexasusa has a point, you are a known liar. just yesterday you posted a link to a youtube video of argentine president speaking at the UN, you claimed that in her speech she said hizballah had nothing to do with the terrorist attack against jews in argentine and that it was actually USA who did it. I gave you the benefit of the doubt and listened to the whole speech. you lied, she said nothing of that sort, and as a matter of fact she said the opposite, she said she signed an agreement with iran on the hope that argentine could get those accused of the terrorist attacks extradicted, from iran.... so Mystic you are a liar and a propogandist.

best thing ever today is seeing M8ers drownn their own stupidity..
israel and ISIS are allied? what a farce that only stupid M8ers can make to save the face of their iranian militia!
it takes only one intelligent person to see who is with who, apart for M8ers! ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but they whine when israel strike hamas (oh! then again according to the propaganda of the day, sometimes hamas is saudi then it does not bother them to say that israel bombs their allies in their stupid logic!) wahahaha! how idiot they are, just for the sake of preserving assad and their privilèges....
but Lebanon? they never thought of it!
07 October 2014, 23:38
04
just like assad never tried to liberate golan as he is also an ally of israel...
like hezbollah needs israel and israel needs hezbollah... only you hezbi fan cannot even think further than your little nose..
just Lebanon does not need both of them! but Lebanon is the least of your concerns...as long as iran and syria support your mafias.
please FT do yourself a favor, stop coming here like a raving mad person and spend your entire days posting around... insulting this site and everyone who dare contradict you. typical psychotic behaviour you have!
it only shows how fanatic you are, as fanatic as daesh, normal for a hezbi lover, you love fanatism....

My suggestion to Lebanese people is to look around at the bridges, houses buildings, bridges airports, power station, ports etc. better take a photo of all these. Soon Lebanon will become desert, ashes to ashes dust to dust. Thank to the Hezballa terrorists. I'm sure you will blame Israel for retaliating the Hezballa's provocations but who cares. better prepare alternative places to stay during the coming winter as there will be no housed to return to.
