Is Lebanon using biological weapons against Israel? Ha'aretz reports that
Israel suspects that Lebanon dumped sewage water in the Ayun river in south Lebanon, which flows into Israeli territory and connects to the Jordan river and Lake Kinneret.Aniela Goldberg, a resident of the northern town of Metula, saw three of four tankers pouring fluids north of the town, in Lebanese territory on Thursday. "I could see the truck on the road dumping fluid on the side of the road. I couldn't see where everything went because of the high vegetation," Goldberg said.
At this stage, it is not clear whether the fluid dumped is sewage water and whether any damage has been caused.
Hebrew website Walla.co.il reports that the Israeli Environment Ministry confirmed that the fluid was sewage, and that this would be detrimental to an important source of drinking water [cheers to an anonymous LGF reader for the link]
Perhaps we should call this biuvlogical warfare.
("Biuv" is Hebrew for "sewage")
Since the water-supply in question is an important one this could be called a casus belli. The Lebanese have to know that, so I`m not sure what exactly they are up to. Maybe one of the many factions there wants to provoke an Israeli attack, in the hope that a rival faction is going to be hit.
The Israelis can`t let this pass without a strong reaction, but need to be careful that they don`t get used as a tool of Lebanese infighting.

There is no simple solution for the state of world affairs. If only Avraham had had faith in YHVH and not fathered Ishmael by Hagar......And the world pays for that act of unfaithfullness to this day.
What solution can there be aside from one ordained by the King of the universe who blessed the seed of Hagar as the seed of Avraham also?
Some say that only the Mashiach will be able to save mankind from total destruction......
