Israeli
violation of ceasefire in Lebanon
BEIRUT, August 21.—The Israeli army has carried
out another incursion into Lebanese territory, thus
violating the ceasefire, with the toll of three
Lebanese and four Israeli soldiers injured in the
Bekaa Valley, according to ANSA.
Last Saturday, Israeli helicopters transporting
commandos also launched an attack on the Bekaa
Valley in the south of that Arab country and killed
four people, less than a week after the ceasefire.
A few hours before Monday’s aggression, Malaysian
Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, urged the UN
from Kuala Lumpur to take immediate measures against
Israel for violating the ceasefire in Lebanon, PL
reports.
Abdullah, who holds the rotating presidency of
the Islamic Conference Organization stated that he
was shocked at the agency’s passivity and its
failure to act against the Israeli government.
"Israel has transgressed or ignored many resolutions,
but the worrying and preoccupying thing is that the
UN has not taken any action against Tel Aviv,"
observed Abdullah, who is also president of the Non-Aligned
Movement until the summit of that multinational
grouping in Havana in September.
BUSH ONCE AGAIN APPROVES ATTACK
During a White House press conference, U.S.
President George W. Bush once again used justifying
rhetoric to condone the aggression against Lebanon,
which has caused more than 1,300 deaths and
thousands of injured in the indiscriminate
bombardments of the invaders.
Bush approved the Israeli attacks on the civilian
population in the Lebanon under the skewed argument
that Tel Aviv has the right to defend itself.
