1. Israel at War against Lebanon
Paco ,   Canada   (02.14.10)
Lebanon has the right to retaliate and invade Israel anytime it feels like. The constant violation of the Lebanese territory by Israel is an act of war. When Lebanon/Hezb. invades Israel you shall cry of fright and claim we attacked you, and that you are defending yourself.. while we all know that your violations have been going on for years now!
2. Paco needs to take a reality check
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS   (02.14.10)
What used to be "Lebanon," the province of Syria which itself is subjugated to Iran, conveniently uses Israel as an excuse everytime it needs to attain a distraction. Today, they "mourn" Harirri while his own son bows at the feet of his Father's murderer Assad. To deflect criticism, they have conveniently found Israeli jets flying over Beirut. Over the past year, the former "Lebanese," much like the Iranians have uncovered "dens of Zionist espionage" arresting and executing dozens. In Iran, they arrest "Zionist agents acting under cover of the opposition and calling themselves Gays and Bahais." Easy enough for the Islamonazis to lay claim, and obviously easy enough to find fools like you to believe them. But then, Hitler found fools to believe him too.
3. #1 - Let them try...
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (02.14.10)
and you will see Israeli army in Beirut in less than a week...
4. Lebanon is provoking Israel...
Marco ,   Spain   (02.14.10)
How dare the Lebanese fire at Israeli jets that were flying over Lebanon to promote peace. The U.N should condemn Lebanon for its hostile behaviour towards peace loving Israel! What a bunch of Jerks. I would not be surprised if Israel files a complaint at the U.N, because with Hezbollah in the neighborhood, thats about all they can do!
5. :: Proper order
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (02.14.10)
Lebanon has every right to shoot down Israeli airplanes invading its airspace and it is only a matter of time before they do.
6. @#1
Snir ,   USA   (02.14.10)
Israel would not need these recon missions if Hezbollah would not be violating the UN resolution 1701. Hezbollah has been importing weapons under the U.N.'s nose since 2006 something which Israel knew would happen and that the U.N would be a waste of time. Israel has been doing its best to stop and have proved to the world that this is happening and nothing has changed.
7. Paco is hilarious!
Cynic ,   USA   (02.14.10)
The mighty Lebanese army. What a joke. I remember your prime minister crying back in 2006.
8. Paco,#1-who is "we"?
al ,   canada   (02.14.10)
Paco said"When Lebanon/Hezb. invades Israel you shall cry of fright and claim we attacked you" If Paco is from Canada, is he saying that Israel will accuse Canada of attacking Israel, or is he really from Lebanon and conveniently taking advantage of all that Canada generously offers its new immigrants. I remember the thousands of Lebanese -Canadians who got caught in Lebanon in the last war, and then wanted the Canadian government to pay all the expenses of getting them out of the country, because they had dual citizenship.
9. Israeli overflies will Hezbolla trucks in weapons
John Phee ,   Sydney AUSTRALIA   (02.14.10)
If I understand correctly Lebanon officially objects to Israel overflying it's territory (see 1701). To be fair this is reasonable. But Hezbolla have been exempted by the Lebabese from complying to 1701 & still bring in truck loads of missiles & weapons from Syria. That is not fair. The consequences will be saddly very dramatic for Lebanon. Eventually Hezbolla will do something to start a new war. Maybe not intentionally, but the chances are that it will happen. The current Lebanese government has already openly & repeately allied themselves (& the people of Lebanon) with Hezbolla. So all of Lebanon is now a legitamate target. Will Syria come to the aid of Lebanon? Good question, have they ever. No. Why would Syria expose himself & his army to the Israeli's. Remember '73 after a great start his military was driven back beyond the starting point & more territory lost, even Damascus was hit by artillery shells. Assad knows that the next war may well result in Beruit & Damascus being occupied. To him the fall of Beruit & Lebanon is a gable only with Lebanese lives & property buy if Damascus falls so does he. He will make noises only & do nothing. Israel has new tactics but so does Hezbolla, so who's will be better? The reality is that Iran & the mullah's don't care. If Lebanon is left a wasteland Syria will move in & claim it as their own. Rember Syria still does not really recognise Lebanon as an independent country. The result of Lebanon not apply 1701 to Hezbolla is long term bad for all Lebanese. Shooting at Israeli aircraft is the same as saying that Hezbolla & Lebanon & together militarily.
10. Marco @ 4, UN cannot say anything.
leo ,   usa   (02.14.10)
Reason is simple. HA is rearming despite their agreeing to the contrary. Hence the overflights.
11. IAF planes DO eventually return to base
William ,   Israel   (02.14.10)
Simply because they do at the end of their intelligence-gathering mission doesn't mean you scared them away with your anti-aircraft fire. Because of the fact that they DO return home without incident shows you didn't really do much except fire aimlessly into the sky, Saddam-style.
12. #1 - Paco - Hiz DID invade Israel and got the Lebanon war
William ,   Israel   (02.14.10)
for which Nasrallah profusely apologized to all Lebanese for causing, right before he turned Hizbullah weapons against the populace. I guess if you can't beat the Israelis, you might as well beat your countrymen.
13. #4 - We'd be happy if the UN stopped illegal arms smuggling
William ,   Israel   (02.14.10)
by Hizbullah - an act they can't even bring themselves to condemn even though it violates the very resolution the Lebanese called for. No more Hiz weapons = no more IAF fly-overs = more ammunition by LAF to use on "palestinians" harboring Al-qaeda splinter groups. Everyone's happy.
14. #5 - IAF has every right to return fire to source
William ,   Israel   (02.14.10)
HItting not just one but every anti-aircraft base in Lebanon that could be a danger to IAF missions that are sorely needed because Hiz, an illegal terrorist group, is re-arming itself against Israel, anti-Syrian groups, and Lebanese which oppose them. It might be best to deal with the illegal terrorist group first rather than Israel which is still technically in a state of war with Lebanon because Lebanon has no balls to make peace with Israel.
15. is that so
jacob ,   encino, ca   (02.14.10)
too bad the west does not know what the spiled kid is doing. Hey, i got a new name for you. how do you like HITSRAEL .. the new hitler of the middle east. And guess what, I am not anti-semite, but you are anti humanity.
16. :: The right order and the impostor #5..
Matty Groves ,   Fairport::   (02.14.10)
IAF aircraft has already completed their mission and were and the way back to their bases when Lebanese opened small arms fire to claim later that hey chased IAF eagles from Lebanon airspace. LOL for Arab bravado! Ynet, stop this cheap imitator from posting here, it makes my job of displaying my hatred of Israel and Jews in general so much more difficult Eat your heart out , impostor!
17. Arthur
Mark ,   Netherlands   (02.14.10)
It took israel around 2 months to get back its soldiers back and put an end to hezbollahs missile firing. But guess what,IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. And even worse,THE WORLD SAW IT. The humiliation of giving away some senior POW's in the hands of israel in exchange for 2 bodies??LOL.
18. More of the usual Arab bravado.
Robert Haymond ,   Ashdod, Israel   (02.14.10)
And incidentally, Marco from Spain is really a Islamofascist who refers to his residence as "al-Andaluz" as opposed to its correct name, "Andalucia". He simply represents the typical Moslim image in Europe of disrespecting their hosts. So why would anyone take him seriously on Ynet?
19. 17. Arthur
Mike B ,   London   (02.14.10)
Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser were murdered in Israel by terrorists and their bodies then held for ransom in return for five convicted murderers including Samir Kuntar, who killed five civilians, including a four-year old girl. And you laugh out loud?
20. # 17
Birdi ,   Israel   (02.15.10)
2 months, I think not. TWO YEARS after the Lebanon war the bodies of Eldad Regev & Ehud Goldwasser were exchanged for 5 Lebanese prisoners including the terrorisdt murderer Samir Kuntar & 199 terrorst remains. No LOL about that.
21. # 18
Birdi ,   Israel   (02.15.10)
Exactly. Marco from Spain is a load of hot air.
22. Correction re: post #19
Mike B ,   London   (02.15.10)
My ire is aimed at Mark of the Netherlands in post # 17, not Arthur of post # 3. My apologies Arthur.
23. #17 - In Judaism, even the body is worth alot
William ,   Israel   (02.15.10)
We Jews place high value in the body as a temple and work hard to bring all pieces back together for a proper holy burial. Though it raises laughter in the likes of you, it brings solace to the likes of us knowing we continue to do G-d's work even in the hardest of times. It's the same value that drove us to set up the first medical hospital in Haiti and save hundreds of lives. Compare that with our adversaries who worship death and dip their hands in the blood of others. At this point, only mentally retarded or certifiably deranged people continue to laugh.
24. Matty Groves imposter
Robert ,   Brisbane, Australia   (02.15.10)
If anyone hasn't noticed there is a space between Groves and the comma of posts submitted by the imposter.
25. #4#5 twiddle dee and tweedle dum!!

27. Overflights
Mikael ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (02.15.10)
Thanks for firing on our aircraft....you did not hit us, but you DID expose the location of your AAA batteries, Idiots!
28. #1, well whats good for the goose then...
Danny   (02.15.10)
PS You do know Israel and Lebanon has been at war since 1948? I assume you are also aware that Israel pulled out to the mm from Lebanon in 2000? No? Didn't think so.
29. They were only digging holes with bullets..
pACO-Caca ,   CA USA   (02.15.10)
..for Hisbollocks to plant opium poppies for peace! When it's all over, everything from the Euphrates to the Nile, INCLUDING ALL OF LEBANON will be the Kingdom of ISRAEL. That includes most of Iraq, all of Syria (with a nuked Damascus!) NYC, London, Paris, all of it will be nuked and Messiah will rule from the 3rd Temple on Mt. Zion!!
30. 23 When we trade murderers for bodies
Eliyahu ,   Yrushalayim   (02.15.10)
then we are fools and look so to all the world.
