Oh, those evil joos...


Beirut - Israeli planes violated Lebanese airspace Saturday and dumped green balloons over the southern port city of Tyre, Lebanese security sources said.

Lebanese troops cordoned off the area around the coast of Tyre and prevented people from touching the 'suspicious balloons' after reports indicated that some people were poisoned when they did.

According to a hospital source in Nabatiyeh, similar green balloons were dropped over the market-town of Nabatiyeh, 54 kilometres south of Beirut.

Five people suffering from nausea and dizziness were brought into hospital after they touched the 'suspicious green balloons,' the source said. !!!!!

What really happened?

(IsraelNN.com) An Israeli newspaper released green balloons during a promotional event on Saturday in the North. Some of the balloons were carried by the wind across the border to southern Lebanon.

Residents of the towns of Tyre and Nabatiyeh notified the Lebanese army of the strange balloons, and were warned not to touch them. The balloons were gathered into a cluster and destroyed in a controlled explosion.

Lebanese official media reported that the balloons were poisoned, and were part of an Israeli attack.

Residents claimed that the balloons were dropped from IDF aircraft.

Residents were apparently confused by the writing on the balloons as well: the balloons carried the name of the newspaper, HaIr, which "somewhat" resembles the Hebrew word for “caution,” Hizaher.

Hizbullah’s news station, Al-Manar, reported that the balloons bore the word “caution” in Hebrew and claimed that several locals were hospitalized after inhaling the balloons' gas.

Oh my.
