And the private man on the streets? Was forced by Hezbollah with weapons to not flee from bombed villages in 2006 and serve as human shields that hopefully wpould get killed, to prodce healdines that could be used against Israel's air force.

It seems to me Hezbollah's credibility does not play a role. What they depend on maybe is good relations with Teheran, since it is Teheran sending them money and weapons. As long as this is the case, Hezbollah must not care for it credibility in others' eyes.
Yes it should ... just as in Syria things reached boiling point same thing may happen here as soon as they find themselves without Assad next door.
A sign of weakness in this whole deal.
They know it and Iranians know it.

@emmis,

nobody here demonises Iran, becasue we do not need to. We only need to take it for what it is. Iran does a pretty good job in demonising itself all by itself - as one of the most stone-aged, barbarian places on Earth nowadays. What there has been a millenium ago, and could have been if only, does mean nothing nanymore. What it is today is what means troubles, gives us headaches and casts doom and fall, pain and suffering, hate and racism over others.
Hello, Z kommando.

Well I'll leave you alone with your hasbara, but you'll not get the attention of much people, these days everyone's using the same weapon, and now it is only a matter of time until all countries realize where truth lies, after all.

It's about time the US stop taking up arms to defend another country acting like a frightened virgin while it's the one spreading political instability around.
I'll let you stick with what you're doing in here, just be aware some people are awaking from this nightmare scenario. You've been caught orchestrating world war, time to find other scenarios for your warmongering propaganda.

Syria, Israel exchange fire on Golan Heights

Increased tensions.

Quote:
(Reuters) - Syria said its troops destroyed an Israeli vehicle that crossed into its territory from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on Tuesday and warned that any attempt to violate its sovereignty would meet "immediate and firm retaliation".

It seems Hezbollah pulls Lebanon into the war.

It also seems that Assad has switched to changed tactics - which are unfortunately very successful. First roll over the place to be reconquered with a massive artillery barrage and massive air bombings to destroy it and with it most shelters and bunkers, then send in not regular line troops but militia-like organised forces to clean up the rest.

That bloody bastard is learning.
