Lebanon Files Complaint over Israeli Attack on Military Post
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanon filed a complaint with the U.N. Security Council on Thursday over an Israeli army attack on a Lebanese military post west of the Shebaa Farms area earlier this month.
The state-run National News Agency said the complaint was made by Lebanon's mission in New York.
The Lebanese army said on October 5 that a soldier was lightly wounded after Israeli troops opened fire on the military outpost in Jabal Sadanneh, west of the Shebaa Farms.
The Shebaa Farms area is a disputed zone along the frontier between Lebanon and Israel.
The Israeli military offered a different account, saying that its troops opened fire at a number of suspects who crossed into Israeli-controlled territory from Lebanon.
It said the suspects fled back into Lebanon after the shooting.
The Israeli army described the suspects as a "squad," but wouldn't say whether they were Lebanese troops or Hizbullah fighters.
Lebanon and Israel have been in a state of war for six decades.
Despite sporadic outbursts of violence, the border area has remained mostly quiet since the 2006 war between the Jewish state and Hizbullah.

When Iran seeks after nuclear energy, they may be on to something.
For Christ's sake we want peace!
Lebanon free of desperate refugees!
Free of Israeli & Syrian intervention!
Somebody should tell us frankly? If this will go on for decades more, Lebanese should emigrate and regroup 100 years later. And it's not funny.

You signed up for that in the early 1980's but allowed your Syrian then-occupiers to force you to tear up the agreement.
So don't complain about the state of war still carrying on.
