IDF shells Lebanese Army positions across northern border

[bemildred]

Israel Defense Forces troops fired warning shells late Wednesday at Lebanese Army positions across their shared frontier, after Lebanese troops fired light weapons at IDF tanks north of the border fence, although still inside sovereign Israeli territory.

IDF troops issued a warning to the Lebanese forces in the wake of the initial incident, and a short time later fired shells at the Lebanese position, opposite Moshav Avivim.

There are no reports of IDF casualties, but the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, an international peace-keeping force bolstered following the second Lebanon war last summer, reported that five soldiers in the Lebanese Army were wounded during the exchange of fire.

2. Probably not yet.

Gotta mass the troops and get all the shit together and prepare the lemmings before you start another hot war. And there is no reason at all to think the next one will work out any better than the last one (although at least Halutz is gone ...)
