Filed Under Israel, Lebanon, spying

Lebanon has filed a complaint to the United Nations over Israeli spy networks in the country, in the first such move against the Jewish state.

Lebanon’s U.N. ambassador, Nawaf Salam, delivered copies of the complaint to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and current president of the Security Council, Turkish ambassador Ertugrul Apakan.

The complaint, which was prepared by the foreign ministry, said the spy networks “constitute an aggression on Lebanon and on its sovereignty and a clear violation of international resolutions, particularly resolution 1701.”

The letter also said that the spy networks had carried out assassinations and spied on high-ranking Lebanese personalities, including President Michel Suleiman.

It added that the spies have also monitored phone calls and forged official documents.

A list comprising the names of more than 100 people who have been convicted or accused of spying for Israel was enclosed with the complaint.

Everyone is spying on everyone anyways….maybe we should be spying for a change rather than bitching about having too many spies…

Anyone caught spying should be charged by treason and be hanged in public.

What is the point of bitching about our spies to the UN?? Since when did the UN do anything to stop Isreal from killing our people and invading our land, sky and water, do you think by complaining against Isreal spies would make Isreal scared lol

UN will never do anything to stop Israel invading Lebanon, and be sure than UN annoys Israel too.

Well let’s be realistic here. Israel has superior air power. However, they can have all the power they want if we install serious land to air defense rockets and USE them every time they trot within our space. That is more realistic.
Leborigine, I hear your frustration on sitting ducks but nobody will allow Lebanon to have a serious air force but nobody can stop us from bringing theirs down.
Nasrallah said he has this capability. I hope he is not bluffing because if we do go to war that is the only weakness we have.
As to land, we are ready, as to sea we have what it takes to annoy their vessels, let us hope we can do the same in the air.

You don’t want to shoot at a spying plane beause you will be telling them what type of ground to air weapon you have, by the time the real shooting start they would have developed countermeasure for that weapon.If the fighting start then you could use your ground to air ( provided you have them) and there is no time to come up with a countermeasure

Reading the “heroic” comments one might think that Lebanon is a regional superpower – get real, no one wants to harm Lebanon. Israel is taking measures to defend itself from messengers of Iran, Syria and alike (in the 70s to 90s Palestinians) attacking cities in northern Israel … one days these will be gone and there will be no need for any hostilities

No jet will get anywhere near Israel because they shoot and then apologize.
Remember they shot a commercial plate

ISRAEL HAS BEEN HARMING LEBANESE AND PALESTINIANS BEFORE THE IRANIAN REVOLUTION. STOP THESE LIES. WAS IRAN AROUND IN 1948 WHEN ISRAEL COMITTED HOULA MASSACRE? WAS IRAN AROUND IN 1967 WHEN ISRAEL BOMBARDED THE 10 OF VILLAGES IN THE SOUTH? WAS IRAN AROUND WHEN ISRAEL INVADED IN 78? EITHER YOU ARE IGNORANT OR YOU THINK PEOPLE ARE. YOU INSULT EVERYONE ‘S INTELLIGENCE. STOPE YOUR LIES.

Abou Daoud, my apologies, that was a mistake. I think the Iranians do have both, the Russian jets which they have bought legally and the American jets that they stole from Iraq.
