[Ynet] TV station affiliated with Shiite group provides glimpse into deployment in south Beirut following July boom-mobileing. 'When sun sets, every stranger who enters becomes suspicious'
The story was broadcast one day after the general address of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, in which he emphasized to ardent supporters that it was in the Arab world's best interests that Israel disappear from the face of the Middle East. The station's news hound explained at the beginning of the story that he was standing at the scene of the blast. "This destruction is similar to the destruction of the Second Leb War," he said. "But here in the parking lot in Bir al-Abed where a boom-mobile went kaboom!one month ago, there are no Israeli fingerprints, this was revealed by the investigation of Hezbollah and Lebanese security forces." The news hound added that following this conclusion, many questions were raised regarding the identity of the persons behind the blast, "How did those behind this dare to play the game of death with Hezbollah?" While covering the story, the correspondent shows Hezbollah personnel in the southern suburb walking around during the daytime hours with sniffer dogs, searching for explosives in cars and on the streets of Dahiya. "This game of death led Hezbollah to raise its alert to record levels," the correspondent said, adding that no one in the southern suburb of Beirut was ashamed that it had become a "Hezbollah state," and members of the organization were even proud of the fact. When the sun set, the news hound said, the level of preparedness of Hezbollah in the southern suburb rose even further and the security measures taken at night were different from those during the day. According to the news hound, any stranger who entered the southern suburb of Beirut became immediately suspicious to Hezbollah personnel, until proven otherwise. During the night tour presented in the article, Hezbollah members examine people in cars and the contents of vehicles, as well as trucks coming into the area. As mentioned, the story aired the day after the Friday World Jerusalem Day ceremony held by the Hezbollah, in which Nasrallah delivered a combative diatribe against Israel. "He who stands against the Zionist entity protects Paleostine and the future of his children and grandchildren," Nasrallah said passionately.
...before assuming office as President, he held the position of commander of the Leb Armed Forces. That was after the previous commander, the loathesome Emile Lahoud, took office as president in November of 1998. Likely the next president of Leb will be whoever's commander of the armed forces, too... , who made it clear that in light of Hezbollah's fighting in Syria, the group's arsenal should be under the control of the state.
