LEBANON UPDATE: Bloodying Iran’s Foreign Legion
Posted by W. Thomas Smith Jr. on 14 May 2008 at 3:45 am UTC
I posted a few hours ago at Family Security Matters:
“Regions of LebanonĀ burned overnight as Hezbollah continued its unjustified offensive against Lebanese civilians with virtual impunity. The exception being the underreported bloody nose the Iranian-Syrian-backed terrorist group suffered at the hands of the Druze in the Chouf Mountains.
“Today there reportedly are pockets of fighting, and Lebanon’s Future Movement leader Saad Hariri (son of assassinated former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri) — whose own life has been in great danger over the past week — has vowed not to surrender to Hezbollah or its supporters.
“I continue writing about the fighting in my pieceĀ ”Bloodying Iran’s Foreign Legion” in today’s Townhall.com.
“Prayers for our good friends and allies in Lebanon.”
Still no word yet from Sayyed Husseini (see previous post).
