The patrol comes across Lebanese workmen resurfacing a route often used by the Leclerc tanks. They are outside the village now, so soldiers have donned flack jackets and carry their weapons.
Algerian-born soldier Rachide Tifaoui speaks to the Lebanese workmen in Arabic, but their two dialects are very different and it takes a while to get the information the patrol needs.
Gee, I hope the UNIFIL commanders are bright enough and clear-eyed enough to use a magnetometer to look for mines buried under that nice new tarmac.
