there's a huge buzz about these balloons Israel has sent across the border into Lebanon
- First the Lebanese press issued a statement saying that Hebrew marked balloons have been cited in the South of Lebanon, in Tyre and Nabatiyeh. Wherever people approached these balloons, they fell ill. The balloons were dropped from Israeli aircraft (who repeatedly violate Lebanese Airspace).
- Then the Israeli press issued a statement saying that these balloons were part of a promotional campaign of a local newspaper. The balloons had blown over the border and into Lebanon.
- Today, similar balloons were sighted in and around beirut.
The winds in Lebanon and Israel have been conducive to objects flying into either Israel or the Mediterranean, but never into Lebanon. (not the past few days)
So who do we believe?
stay tuned for more info

Further proof of Israel's latest Mass Murder activities in Lebanon.
It seems that the balloons over nabatiyeh were green, and in Tyr they were in different colors and with different markings. --Anthony

this seems to be a true story after all... (confirmed in the German PRESS)
Eight people were hospitalized Saturday after inhaling toxic gases from poisonous balloons dropped by Israeli warplanes over Upper Nabatiyeh in southern Lebanon, the National News Agency reported.
NNA said among those who were rushed to hospital suffering from nausea and fatigue were a Lebanese staff sergeant, a recruit and An Nahar reporter Rana Jouni.
The agency said Israeli warplanes dropped at least 10 poisonous balloons with Hebrew markings over Upper Nabatiyeh at about 9 am Saturday.
NNA said contacts have been made between the Lebanese army command and the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon, which has instructed an Italian peacekeeping unit to take samples from the balloons for examination. The agency said the results are likely to come out on Sunday.
NNA had earlier said that the Lebanese army's engineering unit headed to the area and destroyed the balloons by explosives.
The army, in a communiqué issued Friday, warned civilians against messing with the balloons and urged them to report finding them to the closest army unit.
