BEIRUT, Lebanon (CNN) -- Lebanese army troops fired Wednesday on Israeli troops hunting for explosives along the Israel-Lebanon border, Lebanese army and Israeli military sources said.

A U.N. official confirmed the exchange Thursday.

"In a serious incident last night, the Lebanese army and IDF (Israel Defense Forces) exchanged fire across the Blue Line in the area of Maroun a-Rus," said U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) spokesman Milos Strugar.

"The exchange was initiated by the Lebanese army after an IDF bulldozer crossed the technical fence in an apparent attempt to clear the area between the technical fence and the Blue Line of mines."

In their account of the incident, Israeli military sources said their troops were at the border near Avivim when the Lebanese troops fired into the air.

Lets' try this on for size?

A mexican bulldozer crossed over onto american soil. US guards fired warning shots into the air. The mexican dozer remained on the US soil. Armed mexicans began to open fire. What do you think should of been done in this situation?

We'd check to see if he was licensed to operate the bulldozer, which he probably wasn't. Then we'd give him a license and he'd go get a job somewhere and live happily ever after on our taxes.
The End.

No matter what, we had better not forget that Israel IS God's chosen country as stated in the bible. Someday, the Muslims will realize this as they're being destroyed by God.

A region-wide war is going to erupt sooner or later. Might as well get it over with.

Thought it was God's chosen people not country?

Sir,

You're right. However, those people now have their "country". Unfortunately, every Muslim in the world is trying to destroy them. I recently watched on the History Channel a show tracing the Nazis directly to the Muslim leaders of today.
