Hezbollah "civilian" supporters easily overwhelm UN forces in Lebanon, steal equipment




AFP reports that a mob blocked the route of a UNIFIL convoy in southern Lebanon on Friday.

The UN forces issued a statement saying that "a large group of civilians... dispossessed the UNIFIL patrol of items and equipment," without specifying what equipment was taken.

The Lebanese Army had to come in to extricate the UNIFIL forces, but their equipment was not returned. 

This was not a spontaneous, popular action. Hezbollah controls the area and the population. This was orchestrated by Hezbollah, possibly to send a message to UNIFIL as to who is really in charge. 

Not to mention that this way, Hezbollah gets free equipment upplied by the United Nations without the UN issuing a peep of protest.

The UNIFIL website does not have any news about this.
