15 Lebanese civilians cross border with Hizbullah flags

A group of 15 Lebanese civilians carrying Lebanese and Hizbullah flags crossed into Israel on Friday night, according to the IDF.

The group, which included several children, entered Israel via the northern border with Lebanon where there is no border fence, and returned to the Lebanese side of the border after several minutes.

IDF troops spotted the group, and seeing that it was unarmed, decided not to take action.

Nonetheless, the army stressed that the incident was a violation of UNSC Resolution 1701.

"Any individual who crosses the border must consider the possibility of getting hurt," the IDF said in a statement.

Earlier Friday, meanwhile, Hizbullah chief Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah accused Israel of being "a racist state."

WOE! Israel seems to be so very very close to all out war right now.. the situation in the middle east is extremely volatile and really the dangerous thing is that an incident like this could be the spark that quickly brings about world war 3.

Recently Israel has openly stated it's intention to destroy the nuclear programme of Iran, and tension has reached near boiling point. Will these protesters be the first of many from Hizbullah to begin crossing the Lebanon/Israel border? Is Iran trying to provoke Israel into the first move? It seems that way.

Once this war explodes into life, be prepared for some dramatic changes in your daily life as experts have predicted that Iran will block of the strait of Hormuz straight away, dramaticly effecting the worlds oil supply, and sending petrol prices everywhere sky high.

It has of course been Americas goal all along to get to the 'mother sponsor of terror' Iran, and former President George W Bush named the empire formerly known as Persia, part of the so called 'axis of evil' in a now famous speech shortly after September 11.
