Israeli jets clash with German ship near Lebanon

[2-0-Sixx]

BERLIN (Reuters) - Two Israeli warplanes and a German navy vessel have clashed off the Lebanese coast, the Defence Ministry in Berlin said on Wednesday without giving further details.

Germany daily Der Tagesspiegel earlier on Wednesday quoted a junior German defence minister as telling a parliamentary committee that two Israeli F-16 fighters flew low over the German ship and fired two shots.

The jets also released infra-red countermeasures to ward off any rocket attack, the paper quoted him as saying.

The minister did not say when the incident happened or what had caused it, the paper said.

"I can confirm that there was an incident," a ministry spokesman told Reuters on Wednesday. An investigation was underway and he therefore was unable to provide further information, he added.

An Israeli military spokeswoman said she was checking the report.

Germany assumed command of a United Nations naval force off the coast of Lebanon 10 days ago and has sent a force of eight ships and 1,000 service personnel to join the international peace operation in the region.

The naval force is charged with preventing weapons smuggling and helping maintain a cease-fire between Israel and radical Lebanese-based Islamic group Hezbollah.

Maybe some Israel soldiers are angry, that Germany is not 100% on their side, but also help the Lebanese people...

But who know if this incident really happened?!

Israeli Envoy: "German Jews Feel Unsafe"

Mort Karman - All Headline News Staff Writer

Berlin, Germany (AHN) - The Israeli ambassador to Germany, Shimon Stein, in an interview with Neue Osnabruecker Zeitung, a German newspaper, said he is concerned for Jews in that country against the background of what he says is raising anti-Semitism there.

"German Jews feel unsafe," Stein told the newspaper. "The number of neo-Nazis in Germany has also increased."

Ambassador Stein also said he believed there was a greater willingness on the part of neo-Nazis to use violence.

"I have the strong feeling that Jews in this country (Germany) simply do not feel safe. They are not always able to practice their religion freely," he explained.

He cited tighter security having to be put in place around synagogues and other Jewish institutions.

Stein said the fact that neo-Nazis have made gains in recent regional elections showed that the anti-Semitic tendencies could no longer be dismissed as marginal.

Germany has strict laws against promoting Nazism or using Nazi symbols.

More then 1,200 neo-Nazis from across Europe were due to march on Berlin's Tegel Prison Saturday morning to demand the release of Michael Regener, a singer jailed for three years after a court ruled his band was spreading racial hatred.

Last year the far right National Democratic Party, which many consider neo-Nazi, won 9 percent of the vote in Saxony, giving it seats in a German state assembly for the first time since 1968.
