Current news flash:

Israel imposed Thursday a general air, sea and land blockade on Lebanon as part of its large-scale offensive to retrieve 2 soldiers snatched by Hizbullah.

The Jewish state widened its assault beyond Beirut and the South by targeting Hizbullah strongholds in the Bekaa where it launched air raids against a Shiite prayer house and a Manar TV transmission station.

Israeli Defense Minister Amir Peretz vows that Hizbullah will not be allowed to return to its positions on the border and demands that the Lebanese army deploy along the frontier.

    What I don’t understand is… Why the hell is Israel striking Lebanon? If they really want Hezbollah I bet they could’ve wiped them out of the face of earth in just couple of hours with minimum devastation to innocent civilians.
    Or are they (the Israelis) really want us to hate them?

    Because its holding Lebanon responsible for Hezbollahs actions. Its been what like a year since the new government took hold of the parliment and still no one mentioned anything about disarming Hezbollah. This is just a wake up call.

    I hope we see what we saw on April 14th.. this time a unified call for peace and an end to this madness…. Alla yi7fathic ya Beirut.

    I can kind of understand what Israel’s doing, but bombing the runway is entirely fucked and uncalled for. Now everyone’s stuck in the country. Their reasoning that Hezbollah’s pulling weapons in through the airport is ridiculous.

    That said, it’s still strange that the only place I got offered drugs in Lebanon was in a Hezbollah “area”

    Hope everyone’s family and friends are doing okay and staying safe.

    Israel is hitting lebanon really hard, they know that any gain in lebanon’s economy is against them. The same can be said about Syria, it’s like two of the dirtiest beasts on earth are eating the same pray.

    Hezbollah is just a parasite that hurts lebanon by it’s actions, if Israel really wanted them outta the why they would have oblitirated the South but weirdo in all these year they seem to enjoy having an excuse to attack Beirut.
