The Lebanese army opened fire on Israeli helicopters trying to land near a town in the Bekaa valley, preventing them from setting down, Lebanese security sources and witnesses said.
The four helicopters appeared to be trying to land Israeli soldiers near the town of Yammouni, they said.
The helicopters flew away before Israeli warplanes launched air raids on the area, the sources said.
Whoa..
It's growing.
Well if Lebanon wants to join their terrorist buddies let the chips land where they will !!!
I would have thought they would have had air cover go in before they tried to land
Wonder how accurate this is
Probably the Hezbo battalion. I am sure the Lebanese army has units fully infiltrated by the Hezbos. It is the same problem that they have in Iraq where Fat-boys murders have signed up for service in droves. These are the "death squads" that the Sunnis are up in arms about.
Lebanon's army can shhot at Israel but can't get Hezballah out of their country and allows them to use it as a base
Screw them too
Not good if true ping.
Hizzie squad or official gov't position??
At this point, does it matter?
Lebanon just became a free-fire zone. :-P
Well if Lebanon wants to join their terrorist buddies let the chips land where they will !!!

I would share the opinion that the Hezbos have become PART of the Lebanese Army, just another reason for Lebanon to purge itself of Hezbos in government, in the military and in the citizenry. Otherwise they should be prepared for ANY consequence of supporting and harboring terrorists.
Good point. I think it strange they would send in 4 helo's by themselves.
Hezbollah is part of the Lebanese government, and the military would be heavily populated by shia and hezbollah sympathisers. There is no chance it will ever be fielded against Hezbollah.
The only thing holding the Lebanese military back from going openly to Hezbollah's assistance is fear of the Israelis.
They need to get stung for this and any other case where they inject themselves into the battle. The Leb soldiers who fired on Israel should get an air attack for their trouble (and it sounds like they probably did).
When you allow terrorists to freely operate in your country without fear of reprisal, the country as a whole becomes guilty. The cry of innocence has no real validity. Lebanon is responsible and the blood of their children is on their own hands. Bet you want hear this truth in the media!
No such town I can find, after considerable effort.
Second time I've seen this, I believe it to be a code of some sort.
Thanks for the clarification. I should have specified the forces under the control of the Interior Ministry and the police. According to most reports the Army is pretty clean.
Good.
Shows lebanese complicity with the terrorists islamofascists. since thet exhibit complicity with the terrorists, take 'em out as well!!!! If you side with terrorists you are considered part of the terrorists therefore get hammered along with terrorists!!!!
Lebonsleaze hel*!Hezbollah and the Lebonese army are one in the same!
