Beirut, Jan 28 (DPA) Israeli planes violated Lebanese airspace 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 Saturday and prevented people from touching the 'suspicious balloons' after reports indicated that some people were poisoned when they did.

According to sources, similar green balloons were dropped over the market town of Nabatiyeh, 54 km south of here.

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

If Israel threw a rock over the lebanese border they would come up with a story of how 10 children died because they touched the poisoness rock. How stupid can the Arab tabloids get, because this seems like it came from one.
