UNIFIL chief tells Hezbollah: Don't do it again

Share:

Paolo Serra, UNIFIL commanderMaj.-Gen. Paolo Serra the commander of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon ( UNIFIL) said on Thursday in response to Hezbollah claim that it was behind last week’s bombing that wounded four Israeli soldiers: Investigations are ongoing regarding al-Labbouneh incident. What happened is dangerous and should not occur again.

This comes after Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah claimed during an interview with Lebanese television station Al-Mayadeen that two remote-control bombs detonated inside Lebanon when the Israeli force crossed the border. He said Hezbollah members knew in advance the Israelis were coming and planted the bombs to target them.

“The feet that will enter our land and we know about it will be cut. … This is our right,” Nasrallah said. “We will not forgive any ground violation of our land.”

According to UN observers Hezbollah’s action is in violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which was intended to end the hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah. Hezbollah representatives in the Lebanese cabinet voted for the resolution on August 11, 2006.

    What a pack of violators on BOTH sides. !! The sneaky Israelis wanting listening devices should not have been there either. But what Serra worries about more is the UNIFIL people being killed by ‘bombs’ planted in a place where ONLY UN observers should be. Microphones don’t kill. But Nasty doesn’t care about the peacekeepers.
    And who cares if Israel hears anything in the sand? Just tell the UN guys to pee on the devices often as possible. :-))

    On top of which … the UN spent a LOT of time and money trying to remove land-mines and bomblets so that kids tending goats didn’t keep getting killed or having parts blown off. Don’t need Hezzy planting new ones.

    1. It was a remotely detonated apparently so unlike a land mine or cluster bomb its relatively safer….but for us dont do it again however nothing mentioned about israel breaking through our border and violating our land and 1701? Last count israel has killed more un troops than we have i believe?

        Hard to say … they have been blown off the roads a few times lately … you need more info to make a blanket statement.
        Bad enough that they get kidnapped, or stopped in places and have their phones and cameras stolen by the local idiots. Don’t need little bombs waiting for them.

      I don’t think You are seeing things clearly, if the UNIFIL turns a blind eye on Israelis Trespassing in to Lebanese territory is Our duty as Lebanese to protect Our autonomy, It happens that Hezbollah is in the South as a curse for both Lebanon and Israel, But if Israel frees Sheba what Raison D’être will have Hezbollah to be there? And why do You take at face value that those where microphones? It could be Radiation Devices to kill as many Lebanese possible this way Israel can grab more land. And Why UNIFIL wasn’t alert of what is happening? here is a scenario of “attack is the best defence” UNIFIL Blew it!

        Yah Igor … they are not trained as Israeli Commandos … they are trained as Peacekeepers. Only.
        They called Israel – which said nothing was going on.
        Don’t give me any radiation crap, please. The ‘Sidon Mountain’ is more dangerous than anything Israel is doing to ALL Lebanese.

          Oh I got it, So UNIFIL carries weapons only for show? Again You are not thinking clearly, In Peacekeeping Missions is involved the use of necessary force to avoid Civilian Casualties, and since You are an expert in Israeli activities and so fond of them, why don’t You move there and help them with the Gay Parade?
          How You know if the Israelis where planting false evidence of WMD and then leave on the hook the Lebanese Government?
          And Again You are not thinking Clearly, The Sidon Mountain is a problem of Recycling not being possible for the intense threat that Lebanon has either from the Crying Babies of Israel and Hezbollah, in One side the Israelis blame Our Government for not dealing with Hezbollah in the other side they opposed that We buy weapons for Our Army because “they could fall in to Hezbollah’s hands” (as they say), this is in the interest of Israel to sustain the Status Quo, Son You don’t give Me the CRAP that Sidon Mountain is more dangerous that Israel,
          Now go a eat You kosher Son :-))))

            I’ll have a pork chop – you can have a fish from the beach at Sidon. :-))
            And we can wait for the UNIFIL report.
            Read the book … ‘Shake Hands With The Devil’. See what the rules for peacekeepers really are. And how little protection they get.

        2. Sidon mountain is more dangerous than uranium depleted shells and ordinances? Ok

    Don’t do WHAT? Defend themselves and the country? Are you out of your mind?

      If they spot horrible attacks with microphones, they are supposed to call the UN people to go and chase the Israelis away – with their microphones. But Hezzy would rather do their own thing – kill a few. It’s their ‘raison d’être’, n’est pas?
      Hezzy probably lit the forest fire to have the same effect.

      1. Sorry but your logic lacks any sense of reality…no country on this planet accepts border violations. Take hzb out of the equation for a moment…If it was the leb army what did you think they would do? Just watch? They would have opened up on them….then what would have happened?

          The boys in blue would bitch to them too – and probably do now anyway.
          Neither side listens anyway. That’s the reality.
          The logic is sound – but only if all adhere to the rules.

    Why is it called ‘The Blue Line’? Just Like the blue UN Berets, it represents a zone of ‘non-conflict’ which is UN territory patrolled by ‘world observers’. A Peace Zone.
    BOTH SIDES VIOLATE IT. !!! NEITHER SIDE RESPECTS THE UN. !!!

    FRANKLY, as a tax-payer in ANY country contributing to the costs (huge now, at least since the time that ‘the line’ was in Tyre) – and sometimes suffering injured or dead fellow-countrymen-patrollers who wear the berets most bravely, while attempting to safely remove left-over ordnance so citizens can feel safe too – IF NEITHER SIDE can keep their feet OUT of that Zone of Demilitarization, I think the UN should just scrap the concept and let them have at it.
    As much as I love Lebanon – and don’t hate Israel.
    If we can’t teach you something in all that time, then just go to it, IDIOTS. I’m out of money.
