| #6 One thing will happen. The French are going to be in the crossfire when shooting resumes. UN thinks their presence prohits Israeli retaliation. Think again. I really like the part about running photogs off. They need to be prohibited from areas of action. Or elimintaed if they do not obey commands. |

| #5 Standing some 50 meters from each other, the tanks were locked in a 20-minute face-off, the first between the Israeli army and the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), which has been boosted to oversee the current truce. The French tanks then withdrew from the area, as observers of the UN Truce Supervision Organisation deployed in the area. Oooooooooooh! I'd consider that a stare down contest not a "clash". And surprise, surprise, look who won... |

| #3 "Clash" could mean anything from harsh words and spitting to a bayonet charge. Somehow, from the lack of detail here, I suspect the former. |
