Mansour Files Complaint Against Israeli Violation of Blue Line
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Caretaker Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour filed last week a complaint through Lebanon's mission to the United Nations against Israel's violation of the Blue Line, the state-run National News Agency reported on Wednesday.
According to the news agency, the complaint came in light of a landmine blast along the northern border with Lebanon that injured four Israeli soldiers.
The complaint considered that the Israeli penetration violates Lebanon's sovereignty, United Nation's Security Council Resolution 1701, the International law and threatens Lebanon's civil peace.
Mansour tasked Lebanon's mission to file the complaint to the U.N. Security Council and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
He also called for filing the complaint before the U.N. General Assembly.
A Lebanese army communique said that the “Israeli infantry army penetrated 400 meters inside Lebanon in the Labbouneh area at 00:24 local time.”
"An explosion took place and the soldiers were wounded, with blood found at the scene. A military committee has opened an investigation in coordination with UNIFIL," the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, it said.
An Israeli military spokesperson said Wednesday that the soldiers were hurt during "overnight activity adjacent to the northern border." It did not say if they were injured in training or in combat, and refused to elaborate further.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said later that “Israel will continue to act responsibly to secure its border.”
The Security Council Resolution 1701 ended the 2006 war between Israel and Hizbullah.

Mr. Mansour, you have not firmly showed yourself as a Syrian tool. How many violation of the international border between Lebanon and Syria have taken place without your even trying to condemn then, not to even mention the possibility of filing a complaint at the UN.
Mr. Mansour, when was the last time, if ever, you fully read UN Resolution 1701. If you would have read it, you would have seen that it forbid Hizballah approaching the Israel border, but you do nothing about it.
You look at 1701 only when it suits you personally.

Syria unfortunately has(had) a strong influence on the country which will take time to extricate, though it is being realized as evidenced by the relative slow rise in complaints against Syrian transgressions being filed.
Israel on the other hand has very little reason to breach the border with the thinly veiled rationale of security. There is the UNIFIL alongside the LAF adequately capable of enforcing law and order along the border. Besides, Israel has violated the UNSCR 1701 more times than Syria has, by many times over.

Hey Southern, do you know that Syria has committed greater atrocities than the zionist state you refer to? If your son is killed (God forbid), should it really matter to you whether the bullet was fired from a rifle carried by an Israeli or Syrian? By the way, Israel did not lose in 2006. They may have been surprised by the prowess of HA, but the result was additional UN personnel deeper into Lebanese territory, which is not something HA would have agreed to had they really considered themselves victorious. More Lebanese lives were lost and more material damage was inflicted in Lebanon. Israel is more united than ever and Lebanon is in shambles. What victory are you referring to?

Southern, your so-called resistance is causing more harm than good now. Imagine if you had a neighbor you didn't like. I told you that I would take care of that neighbor for you, but it would require that I move into your house, sleep in your bed, eat your food, and take your money. Would you be OK with it? Of course not. Now you understand how every patriotic Lebanese feels who wants to equality among all and a single democratically-elected authority. Get out of the stone ages, man. Mercenary warfare is not a component of a free and progressive society.

But the thing is, Syrian influence spans some 30 years or so. Impartiality requires time so that the country can overcome and free itself from the grip of such an immense influence, and this is happening faster than anything. Point I'm trying to make is, we need to change the FM, be more vocal as to our wishes to file complaints against Syria, but also endorse what he does right--- which is the filing of Israeli intrusions of sovereignty to the UN.

Resolve the problem by setting up ALL Refugees ( Palestinians / Syrians ) right on the Israeli / Lebanese borders' !
What would the Israelis' do ? Nuke them ? The whole 2million of them ?
I would place my bets that not even one bullet could be fired !
Let the Israelis' & HRW / UN take full responsibility !
Signed Wolf !

Mansour Files Complaint Against Israeli Violation of Blue Line........
Lebanon needs two foreign ministers. One to file complaints against Israel (Mansour is great for that) and the other to file complaints against Syria and Iran. Then Lebanon's interests would be fully covered.

Those who oppose H.A. and the so called "Resistance", does not mean that they agree with or welcome so called "Zionist" interest, or any other form of foreign aggression. Neither H.A. nor Israel won the 2006 "war" itself whose withdrawal was "bargained for in exchange", but Israel achieved its desired goal and the primary intention behind the attacks. The Palestinians are kept at bay from any boarder aggression/threat to Israel. Can Lebanon afford any more bloodshed for the sake of the Palestinians? Put that burden on nations who have the will, money and power to break Israel's back and pave the road for the Palestinians to return to their homes. That land belongs to both Palestinians and Jews.
