Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said he had spoken to France and the United States about the Jewish state's worries.
"We think it is a mistake to arm the Lebanese army with weapons, with advanced systems," (where? Who? What?) Barak said in an interview with Israel Radio earlier this week. "Because these things are liable to be -- we used to describe the danger that these things would end up in Hezbollah hands, but before our eyes something more troubling is happening, and they are being used directly by the Lebanese army against us."
Asked whether Paris or Washington had paid attention to Israel's complaint, Barak said: "Not really. Not really....."
Hezbollah did not take part in the clash, although its leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, said his powerful Shi'ite guerrillas would intervene if
In Washington, asked whether the United States was confident the Lebanese army was not being "manipulated by any particular political group," ?...We are, as we've said many times, we're in support of the civilian government in Lebanon, ... and we think improving the capability and performance of the Lebanese government, both across the government, but including in the security sector, contributes to stability in the region and is in our interest."
