Hezbollah reneges on promise to compensate for destruction
 Beirut- the Media office of Lebanons prime minister Fouad Siniora has reported that Hezbollah did not compensate for the destroyed homes , but has instead helped pay for one year rent. Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah during the war told the Lebanese not to worry about the war destruction and assured them that Hezbollah will rebuild their houses with Halal funds from Iran. According to government sources instead of rebuilding the destroyed Hezbollah has been content with paying to some of those that lost their homes , rent for 1 year. Hezbollah has also launched an anti government campaign accusing the government of not paying its agreed share for compensation. But the government said the facts speak for themselves about what the government has already done and continues to do , but Hezbollah is misleading the Lebanese with its campaign of lies , trying to cover up for reneging on its own promises. Over 100, 000 residential units ( single family homes and apartments ) were destroyed during the summer war as a result of Israeli bombardment. The majority of those that lost their homes are Shiites. This has prompted many Shiite leaders to attack Hezbollah for its miscalculations last summer when it kidnapped the Israeli soldiers , an action which resulted in the Israeli retaliation .
