Hezbollah reported detonating a large IED in the Shebaa Farms, along the border between Israel, Lebanon, and Syria today, targeting an Israeli patrol. There were no reports of casualties, though Hezbollah claimed to have destroyed an Israeli Humvee with the attack.
Hezbollah termed the attack retaliatory for last month’s Israeli killing of Samir Kantar in an airstrike in Syria. The Israeli government responded with artillery shelling of southern Lebanon, with at least 10 shells hitting al-Wazzani.
There were similarly no reports of injuries in southern Lebanon, and the UN observation force is hoping to keep it that way, urging both sides to exercise restraint and avoid any precipitous escalation of the fighting.
Israel had been firing artillery into southern Lebanon for days before today’s bombing, expecting Hezbollah action. Israel promised “swift retaliation” for anything Hezbollah did, though since they were attacking southern Lebanon at any rate, the risk appears to have been low for Hezbollah to launch a strike now.

It seems that the Arab attacks upon Israel are always followed by Israeli counterattacks which are much more effective and punishing. It is very typical that a rocket attack from Gaza lands upon Israel desert, and the Israeli counterattack destroys Palestinian homes and kills Palestinians. So why do the Palestinians perform this ridiculous strategy of playing into Israeli hands? Maybe, they don't. I believe that the Israelis send their own people out to launch these ineffective launches to be able to justify further attacks upon the Palestinians. There is probably a group in the IDF tasked with doing these launches, probably even an Israeli contractor that fabricates these supposed Hamas rockets. One has to ask that if even macaroni is prevented from entering Gaza, why would the Israelis allow rockets components to enter into the Occupied Territories? — They don't.
Both SA and Israel are complicit and US must abandon both them! With friends like these 2 who needs enemies!
