Inside the Dahieh, the southern suburbs of the capital where Hezbollah is headquartered, it was a chaotic scene. Family members rushed to the area, but were kept away by Hezbollah operatives who erected a barricade around damaged buildings.This isn't the police cordoning off a crime scene. It isn't health or authorities or civil engineers trying to keep people safe.
This is a terrorist group preventing families from visiting an building that was bombed.
No one even questions the right of Hezbollah to do whatever the hell it wants.
The most ironic statements that come from Lebanese officials are where they complain that Israel is violating Lebanon's sovereignty. But Iran already controls all of Lebanon, sometimes tacitly and increasingly openly, through its proxy - and the Lebanese are too frightened to complain about that.
The photo accompanying the story was also interesting:
The terrorists were meeting in the basement. Israel bombed them - but the windows on the third floor of the building are not even broken. And the entire operation was planned and executed in only a few hours.
No matter what the world says, no one takes more care to minimize civilian casualties in strikes on military targets in civilian areas than Israel does.
