		Acts of aggression in the field

	On 11 February 2008 at 1330 hours, opposite the Fatimah gate at Kafr Kila, as an Israeli patrol was passing near the Lebanese Army position, one of its members made an obscene finger gesture at one of the position’s soldiers and asked him: “What are you worked up about?” He then made the same gesture at a recruit at the same position and asked him: “What are you still doing here?” The patrol then continued on in the direction of the Metullah settlement.
