U.S.: Lebanese Fire on Israeli Troops Was Totally Unjustified
(Ha'aretz) Natasha Mozgovaya and Barak Ravid - State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said Wednesday that the firing by Lebanese armed forces on Israeli troops near the Israel-Lebanon border on Tuesday, which killed one Israeli officer and seriously wounded another, was "totally unjustified and unwarranted....We don't want to see this happen again." Israeli officials had expressed disappointment on Tuesday with the initial U.S. response to the shooting incident calling on both sides to show restraint, prompting Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren to hold talks with senior U.S. officials to demand a harsher response.
