[Jpost] Ambassador Erdan files formal complaint with Security Council over July 27 incident, in which IDF says members of the Lebanese terror group entered Israeli territory.
Keeping Hezbollah on the back foot? Israel can’t seriously expect the UN will take meaningful action, despite the evidence.
Israel filed a formal complaint with the United Nations ...where theory meets practice and practice loses... Security Council on Monday over an incident along the Lebanese border last month, in which the Israeli military says it foiled an attack by the Hezbollah terror group.
Carry on foiling, Israel, while the UN continues blithely doing nothing.
In the complaint, Israel’s new ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, said the Hezbollah cell was armed with a .50-caliber sniper rifle, which was recovered at the scene, along with military fatigues.

[IsraelTimes] Some Paleostinian officials believe Emirates-backed Mohammad Dahlan, a former top security official to PA President Abbas, was involved in the move to normalize ties.
Prominent figures in Paleostinian politics condemned the normalization agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates as a betrayal. The PA itself called the deal "despicable" and demanded it be reversed. Said Saeb Erekat ...negotiated the Oslo Accords with Israel. He has been chief Paleostinian negotiator since 1995. He is currently negotiating with Israel to establish a de jure Paleostinian state... , the veteran Paleostinian negotiator, "I never expected this poison dagger to come from an Arab country."

[IsraelTimes] Israel on Monday released a West Bank leader of the global campaign to boycott the Jewish state, following his arrest last month by Israel’s internal security agency.
Mahmoud Nawajaa, coordinator of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement in the West Bank and Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... , was arrested at his home in Ramallah on July 30.
Several rights groups, including Amnesia Amnesty International, campaigned for his release, including through rallies in Ramallah and Gaza this month.
Israeli military tribunals exercise jurisdiction over Paleostinians in the West Bank.
A Shin Bet spokesperson told AFP that Nawajaa had been "arrested and questioned on security matters... and released at the end of the investigation."
The BDS movement calls for a wide-ranging embargo of Israel over its treatment of the Paleostinians. Israel sees BDS as a strategic threat and accuses it of anti-Semitism.
A law passed in 2017 allows Israel to ban foreigners with links to BDS.
Last year, Israel expelled the country director of Human Rights Watch, Omar Shakir, after accusing him of supporting BDS, a claim he denied.
Israeli sources had previously told AFP that Nawajaa’s arrest was not linked to his role with the BDS movement.
[EN.ANNAHAR] More than 15 years after the truck bomb liquidation of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in Beirut, a U.N.-backed tribunal in the Netherlands is announcing verdicts this week in the trial of four members of the krazed killer group Hezbollah allegedly involved in the killing, which deeply divided the tiny country.The verdicts on Tuesday at the Special Tribunal for Leb ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... , based in a village on the outskirts of the Dutch city of The Hague, are expected to further add to soaring tensions in Lebanon, two weeks after a catastrophic explosion at Beirut’s port that killed nearly 180 people, injured more than 6,000 and destroyed thousands of homes in the Lebanese capital.
Unlike the blast that killed Hariri and 21 others on Feb. 14, 2005, the Aug. 4 explosion was believed to be a result of nearly 3,000 tons of ammonium nitrate that accidentally ignited at Beirut’s port. While the cause of the fire that provided the trigger is still not clear, Hezbollah, which maintains huge influence over Lebanese politics, is being sucked into the public fury directed at the country’s ruling politicians.
Even before the devastating Beirut port blast, the country’s leaders were concerned about violence after the verdicts. Hariri was Lebanon’s most prominent Sunni politician at the time, while the Iran-backed Hezbollah is a Shiite Moslem group.
