إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Lebanese shepherd Youssef Zahra, who was kidnapped by Israeli forces from a disputed area, returned to Lebanon after he was released on Saturday.

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon handed over Zahra to the Lebanese army intelligence base in the area of Naqoura.

The shepherd was abducted by an Israeli infantry patrol in Marj al-Teiss at 3:15 pm Friday.

The Lebanese army described the move as an encroachment on Lebanese sovereignty.

Foreign Minister Mansour condemned the abduction of Zahra, pointing out that "the international community must force Israel to stop its recurrent and persistent violations against Lebanon."

according to Israeli logic murdering 1000 Lebanese citizens is a measured response to kidnapping two armed soldiers. How about we start agreeing with them and adopt there logic?

Didn't hear that the UN found that Israel violated Lebanese territory. It is incredible that the lebanese are fine when their citizens are shot and/or killed by fellow Arabs but go ballistic when one of their citizens is taken into custody by Israel after he encroaches on Israeli territory!!!
