I saw the footage and as far as I’m concerned, it’s one of a bunch of people moving next to a burning building that could be anywhere. How spies makes sense of these grainy footages is beyond me, but according to the Israelis:
The footage shows how in the hours following the blast, Hezbollah operatives were trying to conceal the warehouse’ content by placing sheets of tarp arount it, to obscure the scene. It also shows how dozens of Hezbollah operatives shuttled the remaining rockets to warehouses nearby and to a mosque adjacent to Nabatieh, north of the Litani River.
The Israelis are holding this as a smoking gun that Hezbollah is in breach of UNSCR 1701 . To me the Irony is that Hezbollah worked hard to prevent Lebanese journalists, the Army and UNIFIL from approaching the location, and still the Israelis waltzed in and took all the footage they needed.
Hello, my name is Mustapha and I've been blogging about Lebanese society, business and politics since February 2005.
Yes but them, the Israeli, they have the right to breach the UNSCR 1701. It must be written somewhere, in some “very sacred book” of them.
You know, the same kind of (stupid fucking) book used by other people/fanatics to justify their murders.
God said so, so they do so.
Hahum.
Ok.
Well … now … i’m very sarcastic here of course, but I do agree with the basics of your point of view. This footage can be a lot of things.
But, seriously : considering the “area restrictions”* it is probably what they say it is. Doesn’t need to be a genius to figure it so.
*PS : euh … wait a minute … what ? … area restrictions ? … but … hey ? … who decided these restrictions ?
The gov ? The army ? The cops ? …
Oh no … a militia …
Hey if they decide what happen or not at the border, what else are they allowed to decide ?
One day you guys will wake up in the Islamic Republic of Lebanon … don’t come crying after that.
