Israel and U.N.showdown

The difference between Hizballah and the U.N.?

Last week Hizballah raiders crossed into Israel and broke into the IDF’s Kibbutz Shomera arms store. They made off with a large quantity of side-arms, anti-tank weapons, LAU rockets and hundreds of combat grenades, which the Israeli force was determined to recover.  The pursuit led to a showdown between 4 French Leclerc tanks marked 'UN," and at least 5 Israeli Merkava tanks in the Lebanese village where the raiders were believed to be holed up.  The UN force allowed Hizballah to avoid a confrontation. What a golden opportunity wasted.  Someone, somewhere, will have to fire the first shot against UN forces, it may as well have been here.  [Debkafile]
