at least four lebanese including three soldiers and a senior israeli officer are killed in clashes in southern lebanon
clash began at noon local time between israeli and lebanese armed forces
the lebanese army asked the lebanese militia (hezbollah) to exercise restraint, which they said they did. the next time, the lebanese militia promises not to use restraint when the occupation jews attack.
the lebanese people were also reportedly demanding a larger response against israel.
apparently, today's violation of lebanese sovereignty by the israelis, was a test from which the israelis were stunned by the lebanese army's swift, sure response within its courageous stance, despite the israelis overpoweringly superior air force.
for now things are calm on the border as it appears that unifil has succeeding in coordinating between the israeli army and the lebanese army in restoring calm and maintaining resolution 1701.
