Hezbollah keeps military assets in 1/3 of homes in Shiite villages in Lebanon
[JPOST] Almost every Shiite village or neighborhood in southern Leb is being used by Hezbollah fighters, according to Brig.-Gen. Ram Yavne, head of the IDF Strategic Division.One civilian village pointed out by Yavne called Chakra, which has 4,000 Shi’ite inhabitants, "reflects the situation of every Shi’ite neighborhood, town, or village in Leb. In that village, 1/3 of the homes are military assets of Hezbollah." Speaking at The Jerusalem Post Diplomatic Conference, Yavne told the crowd that while it is also a military challenge, "this use of civilians as human shields should be condemned" by the world. According to Yavne, the Middle East until 2010 was like the one that was seen on a map ‐ a region of states with set borders. But six years later, the international community is dealing with various non-state actors, some quite extreme. The region, he said, is overrun with four major political rifts, each one clashing with the other: the Iranian-Shi’ite camp, the Sunni camp headed by Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and including Egypt, the global jihad camp which includes the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... and al-Qaeda, and the Moslem Brüderbund camp. In addition to those four political camps, the last two years has also seen the intervention of the United States and Russia in the region. Posted by: Fred 2016-11-24 |
