Remember when the Bush Administration convinced Israel to invade Lebanon and root out Hezbollah? Remember the destruction? Well, even though Israel is still reassessing the battle, Hezbollah still stands and the Lebanese government is still barely hanging on. Fighting continues.
Update: This post was somewhat confusing because the fighting in Lebanon is confusing. Eliedh posted a comment and straighten me out. Yes, Hezbollah is still there but the fighting is now between some terrorist group (Fatah affiliated fighters) and the Lebanese government.
From NYT:
Families of Islamic fighters left a besieged Palestinian refugee camp on Friday after the militants and the Lebanese army agreed to the evacuation, according to a Muslim clergyman mediating between the two sides.
The evacuation of the 25 women and 38 children — mostly relatives of Fatah Islam fighters caught inside the Nahr el-Bared camp for three months — clears the way for a possible final military assault to eradicate the remaining militants inside.
Only fighters, now estimated at about 70, remain in a small area deep inside the camp near the coast. (more…)
You’re confusing wars! the war between Hezbollah and Israel stopped a year ago, Hezbollah is in a political stand off with the Lebanese government and that’s the Lebanese army kicking Al Qaeda Inspired terrorists from north Lebanon
Thanks for the info. The post has been updated and corrected.
