Well sure it sounds batshit crazy. But if you look at it from the perspective of a conspiracy-addled antisemite - "whatever helps Israel must have been instigated by Israel, including the genocidal wars Arab States start and lose" - then it makes a lot of sense. Why wouldn't Israel fire on its own citizens, thereby exposing Lebanon to the unbearably withering prospect of an Israeli complaint to the UN:

Lebanese President Michel Suleiman claimed Tuesday's Katyusha rocket attack on Kiryat Shmona was in Israel's interest, and suggested that an Israeli agent may have launched the projectile. In an interview with the Lebanese Arab-language newspaper Al Akhbar published Thursday, Suleiman said that an Israeli agent may have launched the rocket, stressing that one "must not rule out" the possibility that Israel was behind the attack. On Tuesday night, a Katyusha fired from the Mount Dov (Shaba Farms) area slammed into a field not far from Kiryat Shmona, causing a fire but no casualties. The IDF immediately shelled the Lebanese territory from which the projectile was launched, using several rounds of artillery.

Presumably those four rockets aimed at Israel that the LAF just dismantled were also planted by Israeli agents. It's not that Lebanon has been systematically ignoring Hezbollah's rearmament in violation of even its symbolic obligations under UNSC 1701. It's that the agents of the Jewish State are really sneaky. And they're everywhere.

When Sunni/Shiite tensions finally erupt - and they will, not least of all because the country has been infiltrated hundreds of Al Qaeda operatives ready to wage jihad against Jews and Hezbollah-backed Shiites - that'll be Israel's fault too.

That the "UNSC" in UNSC 1701 stands for "United Nations Security Council" is particularly ironic given how Lebanon currently sits on the Security Council. I don't really think that's fair. The UN is supposed to be a one-state one-vote kind of place and Iran and Syria already had their turn.
