Skirmish Along Israel’s Northern Border

From the Financial Times:

Israeli and Lebanese soldiers exchanged fire on Wednesday after Lebanese troops shot in the air as an Israeli patrol crossed a security fence near the border to search for explosives planted by Hizbollah guerrillas. No one was hurt.

And from the Jerusalem Post:

National Infrastructures Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said Thursday that it was “not impossible” that summer 2007 would see another conflict in the North, one in which Syria was also involved.

According to Ben-Eliezer, the IDF was not prepared for such a war.
