Violence erupts on Israel-Lebanon border

EL-QLAYLEH, Lebanon (AFP)

Israeli public radio said a woman was lightly injured by flying glass in her home when the rocket landed near the Israeli town of Maalot near the Lebanese border. Two others have since been reported injured.
A Lebanese army spokesman said Israel had responded by firing at least seven artillery shells after three rockets were fired from Lebanon on to Israel.
The region of El-Qlayleh is largely controlled by the Shiite militant group Hezbollah and its Amal party ally.
Earlier this month, Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak warned that any attack by Hezbollah would prompt a tough response from Israel.

"I want to say here, on the border, that I don't recommend that Hezbollah test us because the consequences would be more painful than one can imagine," Barak said during a visit to the Israeli-Lebanese frontier area.

"Earlier this month, Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak warned that any attack by Hezbollah would prompt a tough response from Israel."

This is the problem with Barak, he brays like an ass and fights with a feather. We should have hit them harder the first time and having failed to that hit them harder today. Now we have given them a pass to do it again.

I hope that Netanyahu will understand the basic concept the other three did'nt seem to get; you can only achieve peace through strenght, and the reply to any rocket attack must be what people call 'disproportionate.'

If a rocket is fired from a Hiz'bollah/Amal area the response should be to blow one of their command and control facilities to the ground.

Lebanon's response? They have condemned Israel for breaking the ceasefire agreement!

Understand, that Hezzie and their counterparts always do this stuff around elections. If you want elections to succeed and erode them away, AS PAINFUL AS IT MAY BE...we have to ignore it.

UNderstand the POINT...JUST like PRO-TALIBAN, Fundalmental MUSLIMS use DEMOCRACY in the USA - those lovely loopholes- we Lebanese are USING IT IN LEBANON, under same rules they made. They played the game and we are using it BACK on them. We gave them the veto to shut them up, using loopholes on the REAL ELECTION. HAHHAHAA...talk about backfire.

GO baby, GO Hibbi, Yalla, Yalla.

Let's see: So far, we had kidnapping, 2 kills and 30 beatings from a peaceful protest for freedom, a police officier beat up, threats to PM, 4 granades thrown into offices and one, not blown, by a hospital. OH wait....we have 5 years until HArriri tribunal is completed...with Syria not showing up, and offices being broken into. Aoun stating, for his soul, that votes are being bought. Hezbollah in daillies, subcombing.

It is GNG TO GET ROUGH UNTIL JUNE! Can you bare with it,,,,,until then? Or....are you gng to use it as a reason to put more harm on us? THat is the question? And we all know, wars profit on both sides.

PPL ARE FLYING IN to VOTE! From Australia, USA, BRITIAN, FRANCE, ETC....LEBANESE are gng to show up. MEA is BOOKED! PPL are taking boats from Cyprus now. FACT!

What jews pushed to show up in Israel to vote? Learn who we are. We are not Arab...we are Lebanese. A whole cultural different...been destroyed 7 times, and re-built. NOw, we on our 8th!

I HOPE YOU TAKE NOTE....that 90% of Lebanese are gng to leave their work, family, etc...for this VOTE.

Only war can prevent them. But, with that...I bet 80% will show up. Just not the women.

My husband is gng. I just wish I was there.....what a day this will be! (but, leaving a restaurant is a no-no, being cash).

PPL are gng to VOTE the OPPOSITE! We will win. Well...if nothing HUGE happens.
