Tension has increased in recent months between the UNIFIL peacekeepers and residents in Lebanon's south, a stronghold of the militant Hezbollah group. Some Western diplomats say Hezbollah members have encouraged and taken part in the confrontations, a charge the group denies. UNIFIL spokesman Lt.Col Naresh Bhatt said Saturday's clash occurred when a U.N. armored personnel carrier and light armored vehicle were blocked by civilians near the village of Kabrikha who started pelting the vehicles with stones. The patrol moved on, but was surrounded by a crowd of people who deflated the vehicle tires, threw stones breaking their windows and tried to seized their mounted guns, Bhatt said, adding the peacekeepers then fired shots in the air. "The UNIFIL patrol leader who had stepped out of the vehicle to try to talk to the civilians was roughed up by some members of the crowd and his weapon snatched. He received minor injuries on his forehead," Bhatt said in a statement. Lebanese army forces intervened to restore calm and recover UNIFIL's weapons, he said. U.N. special coordinator for Lebanon Michael Williams told reporters on Thursday there were several incidents in southern Lebanon last week. "Some of these may have been something spontaneous in the street, but some were clearly organized," he said. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Friday that Israel's allegations that Hezbollah had received Scud missiles from Syria had "resulted in increased tension" in the region. Syria has rejected the missile allegation. Ban's latest report to the U.N. Security Council on the implementation of Security Council resolution 1701, which halted hostilities in the Israeli-Hezbollah war in 2006, said there was reason for "doubt on the motives of those (civilians) involved" in some of the recent confrontations with UNIFIL. Hezbollah deputy leader Naim Qassem denied the group was linked to the confrontations, saying they were the result of a lack of coordination between UNIFIL and the Lebanese army. "The situation can be calmed by a change in the conduct of the international forces," Qassem said in an interview published in Ad-Diyar newspaper on Saturday. Resolution 1701 calls for a stop to arms smuggling and bans all unauthorized weapons between the Litani River and the Blue Line, the U.N.-monitored border between Israel and Lebanon. Israel has criticized UNIFIL for not stopping weapons it says are flowing to Hezbollah guerrillas. The United Nations says that is the responsibility of the Lebanese authorities.

Realtor205 Report As Abusive Jul 03, 2010 4:41pm EDT “U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Friday that Israel’s allegations that Hezbollah had received Scud missiles from Syria had ‘resulted in increased tension’ in the region. Syria has rejected the missile allegation.” An anti-Israel Terrorist group attacks U.N. peacekeepers and Reuters reports the highest official of the U.N. blames Israel making a statement that justified the terrorist groups terrorist actions. Sounds like someone has a pro-terrorist, anti Israel agenda here.
