An Invasion Of The Airport

September 19, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui

According to Annahar (which cites security sources), Hezbollah vehicles with armed men drove in the runway straight to the plane, then escorted Jamil-el-Sayyed to the VIP lounge defying all protocole:

no one asked the foreign ministry to open the lounge which is usually earmarked for cabinet ministers, MPs and high-level state employees if they were tasked with carrying out missions abroad. Head of Hizbullah’s Security and Liaison Committee, Wafiq Safa, and his bodyguards were inside one of the vehicles which took Sayyed from the runway to the VIP lounge and then to this home

Another reminder that Hezbollah’s weapons are not for resisting Israel. They’re for invading airports, sponsoring outlaws, defying the state and terrorizing the citizenry.
