Report: Italy Sends Warships Toward Lebanon Coast

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Two Italian warships are sailing closer toward offshore Lebanon to protect Italy's soldiers participating in the U.N. peacekeeping mission in the South, An Italian news report said.

Italy currently has some 1,100 soldiers in the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon.

The ANSA news agency reported that a frigate and a torpedo destroyer boat left Italy's southeastern coast on Wednesday and were headed to offshore Lebanon to beef up protection of the soldiers in case of stepped-up conflict in Syria.

Calls to the defense ministry by the Associated Press to confirm the report were not immediately answered.

Most EU nations, including Italy, stand opposed to the military options favored by Washington and Paris as reprisal for alleged chemical weapons attacks blamed on President Bashar Assad that left hundreds dead last month.

The Northern , Southern , Eastern & now the Western forces have arrived to the ME !
I'm sure they are not there to say HELLO !
It is written , that the ends of the earth shall begin and endth in the ME !
The time hath come , this is the moment of truth , either Wisdom or War shall prevail !
We shall wait and see the outcome , if the later prevails then may The Lord have mercy on our souls !
Signed Wolf !!!!.....

Did the nahar net reported the Syria terrorist shelling the Christian town of Maalooula? I guess its not inportant to kill infidels after all, Obamawould rather protecting heart eaters.

making up news? the Nousra took mallula, does it mean that are slaughtering the descendants of Jesus? nothing indicates this.

Cheap shot and blasphemous words not only against Christians, but also God. Sir the Christians are not "descendants of Jesus". Jesus is Son of God. Christians come in all shapes and forms and enjoy God's grace. Having said that, it would depend on whose descendents took the Christian towns? Now, if such were the descendents of Muhammad, then they have a direct conflict with God since Jesus is Son of God, and they don't believe in the teachings of our beloved Jesus, therefore infidels. No amount of oil review can prolong the popularity of a given religion as long as it is not consistent with and does not promote the teachings gifted to us by no other than Son of God, Jesus Christ.
