    HA was trying to give a message that they don’t want UNIFIL on the border with Syria and was hoping that this little incident would strike fear in UNIFIL and send them all finally packing from Lebanon.

      We all need to ‘guess’ what happened because there’s no real information in the story.
      ‘An Italian body was found on his base.’ Incredible.
