UN: IDF may have planted spy gear in Lebanon

You know that if UNIFIL did its job that Israel wouldn't need overflights. Prosecuting Hezbollah would keep Lebanon safe and the Hezzes busy. Israel would be a sea of tranquility in the North.

Poor Kiwiland. Watch out, they probably know who you are and where you are. Hopefully, they have better and more pressing things to do than respond to hate like yours.

let their children stumble on them. Certain areas would be verboten. But then we are talking about civilized people, not people who love to use their children as martyr's and then complain about the destruction that they either desired or was incredibly forseeable. Pathetic people those Lebs.

Kicked the rear of Israelies? "Kicked" is rather exaggerated, don't you think? It took the international community to help the terrorists who no doubt had the Lebanese, some of whom are probably not terrorists, as hostages. As to kicked, remind me of the mortality rate in the war, destruction of property, etc.

Better the women and children of the murderous aggressors than the women and children of Israelies who put those things in the path of the murderous Hezzballess. Israel is completely justified in putting obstacles in the way of an invasion. Lebanon has to live with the consequences of cozying up to murderers and that includes risk to its citizens. The locus of risk is where it should be, though rest assured that Israelies do not get any joy from that. Remember who started the last war and remember that Israel withdrew from the Latani. Israel has no aggressive ambitions but it will protect its citizens with all its might. You don't like it. Tough, your not going to kills Israelies with impunity. You try that and you pay the price. Next time, I suspect, a much higher price. What Hez is learning is that Israelies do have some ingenuity or is it simply the lack of ingenuity by the Hezballess?

Those mines protect Israeli citizens. Why should Israel offer its citizens on a plate so that Lebanese citizens can live freely? In any event, let Lebanon make peace with Israel and those mines will be removed. Fat chance, eh!

Self defence is Israel's business. Now why don't you mind you own business, you know the riches of Dubai that have not been earned but rather found.

The devises that were blown up were part of Hezbollah's telecommunications system, and guess who committed a war crime by destroying them?

but we don't care. Cuz the new fashion is seeing only faults made by Israeli side! (goldstone report blames both sides UN blames isr etc etc etc) its very funny that the fashion repeats itself like the history. and if the fashion is an historical fashion it repeats more often that it becomes a persisting one. like a sinusoidal graph sometimes it +1 sometimes -1... yes im talkin about antisemitism... i dont see bashing isr for its crimes is antisemitic. but bashing only israel and ignoring the other side who is at least as guilty as isr... i dont see any reason for that. the only hatred capable of ignoring the others crimes for no reason is a historical one.. its racism and in this case Pure antisemitic= UN there is no reason for racism there is no reason for UN to ignore others crimes... UN is the source of racism not against it!!!

"When will UNIFIL do its job?" - Disgusted We don't really want that do we? UNIFIL would be required to shoot down Israeli aircraft violating Lebanon's airspace. I think it best that UNIFIL be restrained as was intended by the cease fire. The UN resolution was intended to allow both sides to quit fighting, not prevent either side from doing as it wanted. Neither has hewed to the agreement. Neither expected to.

Its all too obvious the alliance between the UN and Hizbollah. Israel has every right to put Lebanon on parole for their criminal behavior. The UN should focus on its charter and cease its 60 year role as Israel's persecutor.

What military purpose was served by the abduction of Goldwasser and Regev on July 12, 2006? Even the brain behind the caper, Nuttzirella, said he wouldn't have done it had he known Israel would care.

Not the first time Hezbollah blows themselves up. By the way where is UNIFIL when Hezbollah fills up buildings with explosives and arms? Wasn't part of their mission in Lebanon to put an end to arming Hizbollah?

Quite interesting how UNIFIL got to the area so quickly yet they dont when there is proof that hez is hiding, transporting and firing missles. By the way, has UNIFIL or the Leb govt arrested anyone for firing the rockets from Leb soil at israeli civilians?

Unfortunately collective Jewish paranoia means that Israel has spies in nearly every country around the world. We caught a couple of them in NZ of all places, but they are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to being two faced with those it calls its allies. In fact they are downright dangerous to all of us due to the hold AIPAC and others have on the American political system. Certainly makes the Americans look impotent to the world.

although the ones used in lebanon by the idf are designed to explode on impact... their failure rate is allegedly up to 30%... which means that there's literally thousands of them scattered in the areas they were used...in essence making them "mini-landmines"... and being shaped like a futuristic looking ball, they are particularly deadly to children who stumble across them.

... of such IDF mischief, like a listening device, why did they blow it up rather than brandish it at the UN? The reports have Hez blowing it up, Lebanon blowing it up, IDF blowing it up, a drone blowing it up. The question is, what was it? Can't say, because somebody blew it up. It must have been bad, it must have been Israeli, that's all we can say for sure. But it is enough for about 8 of the previous posters, clearly.

South Lebanon and its Litani River means a night mare to Israel. The Southerns there, single handidly kicked the rear of the IDF.

Compliments of the US tax payer, Israel's army (IDF), or, Israel's Offense Army, has left 1 million cluster bombs to maim the elderly, womend and children. Now they are planting and detonating listening devices, as they wish, also courtesy of the US Tax dollars. What an ally?

1. "Preliminary indications are that these explosions were caused by explosive charges contained in unattended underground sensors which were placed in this area by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) apparently during the 2006 war," UNIFIL said in a statement. 2. "The Hezbollah terrorist organization is once again trying to divert international attention away from its continuing breach of UN Resolution 1701," the IDF spokesman said in response to the report. 1 or 2. We used to call this the credibility gap. I hate to tell you who has the least credibility these days.

Two months ago, celebrating the 3rd anniversary of RES 1701, Michael Williams listened to Hezballah's twisted narrative again, saying it meant the end of the war between "Israel and Lebanon" ommitting Hezballah completely. See the article: http://unscol.unmissions.org/portals/unscol/SCL%20Michael%20Williams-Op-Ed-Anniversary%20of%201701%20(14%2008%2009.pdf Now he again overlooks the basic realities with his anti-Israel bias, and talks prematurely whatever Hezballah tells him to say.

that suck water out of the Litani and pump it down to TA.

It makes you ridiculous. Start with some content.

funny how nothing going zio's way since natanyahu refusesd a freeze huh? i guess he thinks he won that against obama huh?

Look at these devices!

You must have got the "information" from the video games you so busy playing, or what you on??Living in the world of fantasy? So are the Arabs hehehehe.

Israel is losing the battles and the world's respect.

Quick to blame Israel but just as quick to aid Hezbollastan in hiding weapons

... that if Hez had found a "espionage device" whatever that was, they would have preserved it and made hay with it for all the world to see. They would not have destroyed the evidence. What makes the behavior of Hez so primitive is their certainty that the world is as stupid as they think.

Israel should look closer to home before it starts pointing the finger and calling other people terrorists.

the IDF left hundreds of cluster bombs behind in Lebanon! Sadly, the Lebanese children who had their limbs blown off or who lost their lives didn't know what Israel had left behind!

a militia like Hezbollah, financed & armed by Iran, thru Syria & Lebanon, is allowed to thrive, develop its terrorist network above & under ground, threaten the internal security of Lebanon and concentrate all its actions, weapons, diatribes against Israel. Israel is not going to play dead & pretend it's not happening. The UN & Lebanon did nothing to slow down the armements & tunnels. It's Israel's duty to be ready to counter this terrorist organization that crowned with glory the criminal Kuntar.

You may remember all the mini land mines that the US had supplied to the IDF. They were close to their sell-by-date. In another shameful act of immorality the IDF sent thousands of them, deliverd by air and artillery into South Lebanon, during the last two days of the last Leb war. They served no military purpose and they are destroying children's and adults lives to this day. Now if thats not a war crime to add to the list....

And we need your WATER

OMG how could Israel be so cold, and inhumane to have such devices. Spying on terrorists is just not permitted under international law. This is defiantly a war crime, and should be reported to Goldstone right away.

So, days after Israel tried to make a case based on video from a drone flying over south Lebanon, you are claiming the Israel doesn't fly drones over south Lebanon. Umm OK I believe you. Truly I do. Thousands wouldn't, but trust me, I truly, 1000%, totally believe you.

But the truth of the matter is that the devises were likely left there by the Romans 2000 years ago!

There is nothing over the border- all the gagets are in Israel not Lebanon. Hezbo looking for some PR sympathy.

conquer policy would stop. Having weak Arab countries in turmoil by US and Israeli policy will backfire some day, make peace now this insane game of chicken has gone on far to long.......PEACE EVER?

It would be nice if Israel had civilized neighbors in south lebanon, and then maybe we could take your helpful advice. In case you forgot, they crossed into Israel 3 years ago and murdered 2 Israeli soldiers and then fired thousands of rockets against Israeli civilians. Now, they are rearming themselves for another try. It would have been nice if you asked Hizbullah to mind its own business 3 years ago but I'm sure you had nothing to say back then.

It's a lie that drone destroyed the device. The drones only fly over Israel and over the antarctic sea (scientic works).

Making it look like it is true.........!

It would be nice when Lebanon stops blaming Israel for everything and the various factions made peace with each other so that they can stop fabricating one story after another.

Its own business is to anticipate and protect its people and sovereignty from imminent hostile attacks by terrorist cells such as hamas...For the sake of that and because of what history has proven to it, espionage maybe justified.

there could be hundred of devices left behind. With the deep divisions in Lebanese society, there would be thousands willing to assist Israeli intelligence.

It would b nice if Israel minded its own business.
