Peretz Orders IDF to Respond to All Border Threats
Full Text;
Defense Minister Amir Peretz ordered the IDF to respond to any threats on the Lebanese border. Peretz also ordered that an urgent message be sent to UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon). UNIFIL, along with the Lebanese army, is responsible for fighting terrorism in southern Lebanon.
Peretz’s statements came in wake of the discovery of bombs on the international border between Israel and Lebanon. The bombs, which were disguised to look like rocks, were planted recently. Army sources say that the bombs may have been intended to damage Israeli patrol vehicles and to allow for another kidnapping.
