#1 Nasrallah called the IDF commando raid on Baalbek in which five Hezbollah militants were captured and at least 10 more killed a "military failure," and said that the ground fighting between IDF troops and Hezbollah guerrillas were becoming more intense and widespread.

LOL - Baghdad Bob's got an evil twin!

#2 I think the reason Nasrallah is so upset with the prospect of Beirut being attacked is because the Israelis are destroying all Hezbollah and Shiite owned property in the city. In effect, taking them out of Beirut and making them rural until it can be rebuilt.

And this, in turn, completely changes their status in Lebanon.
