...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.

’s Jamaa Islamiya said Monday that its military wing fired a volley of rockets at Israel’s Beit Hillel military post in the Kiryat Shmona settlement, resuming military action from Lebanon against Israel after several months of apparent suspension.

The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about

The groups say they are acting in solidarity with Hamas and Paleostinians in the Gaza Strip.
Jamaa Islamiya has carried out "joint operations with Hamas" in Lebanon, according to an official from the small Sunni Moslem movement.
"All forces that operate in south Lebanon coordinate their actions," Ali Abu Yassin, head of Jamaa Islamiya's political bureau, told AFP in March.

Mohanad Hage Ali, from the Carnegie Middle East Center, said Jamaa Islamiya was "operating as an extension of Hamas in Lebanon," describing the two movements' relationship as "organic."
Hage Ali says Jamaa Islamiya has "around 500 gunnies" but has played only a "marginal political role" in Lebanon with just one politician in the national parliament.
Jamaa Islamiya and Hamas both come from the same ideological school as the Moslem Brüderbund, a Sunni Islamist group with origins in Egypt.
