The Syrians did not succeed in their fifth attempt to bomb Lebanon, thankfully.

Typical cowardly Arab tactic. These sort of disguised bombs were very common in Israel during the 60s and 70s, planted by Arab terrorists of course. I remember seeing ads in the cinema warning children not to kick stray cans or pick up empty cigarette packs because they might be bombs.

And putting the bomb by the beach? More of the same cowardly brutality. Such heroes these Arab terrorists.
