Israel Lies Cost Lebanese Lives

Israeli army blamed for for Hezbollah capture of soldiers A panel investigating the capture of two Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah on July 12 this year, has blamed the Israeli military. Investigators concluded the Israeli military ignored intelligence warnings that Hezbollah would attempt to abduct soldiers, and that there would be a major escalation on the Israel-Lebanon border in 2006. They also found the military was lax in protecting the border. The patrol that was ambushed by Hezbollah acted 'almost as though it was going on a hike,' investigators said.
