[lbo-talk] EU Draws Line in the Lebanese Sand

[Dennis Redmond]

On Friday, France's Defense Minister warned Israel to knock off its
overflights of UN positions, overflights which are a direct violation of
the UN ceasefire agreement (as well as assorted international laws). Now
UNIFIL head Pellegrini has upped the stakes:

"UN Force Commander concerned at rising number of Israeli air violations"

Basically, he's saying that if Israel thinks it can launch surgical
strikes against Hezbollah without UNIFIL interfering, Israel is in for a
very nasty surprise.
