...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...killed five people including three Syrian children, with Hezbollah announcing rocket fire at Israel in retaliation.
"Three Syrian children" were killed "in an enemy raid that targeted farmland in the village of Umm Toot", the National News Agency (NNA) said.
It also said an "enemy" dronezap had targeted a cycle of violence on the Kfar Tebnit road elsewhere in south Lebanon, killing two Syrians.
A Lebanese security source, requesting anonymity as they were not authorised to speak to the media, told AFP the two Syrians were "civilians" who worked nearby and had been swimming in the area.
