From the Jerusalem Post:
Hezbollah officer: We would’ve given up
“The cease-fire acted as a life jacket for the organization [at the end of the Second Lebanon War],” a Hezbollah officer said in an interview aired by Channel 10 on Tuesday.
In the interview, the unnamed officer said Hezbollah gunmen would have surrendered if the fighting last summer had continued for another 10 days.
His statement sharply contrasted with those made by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on several occasions since the month-long war.
At the end of the war, Nasrallah said his organization had gained a “divine victory.”
The officer shown on Channel 10 said the organization’s gunmen had been running low on food and water and facing rapidly diminishing arms supplies.
The officer also said that many Hezbollah commanders were ordered to hide before the war started, and that the gunmen who remained were forced to fire Katyusha rockets from inside urban populations because of the IDF’s efficiency in destroying launchers minutes after a launch had been detected.
He said that when the gunmen relocated to cities and villages, they knew innocent civilians would be hurt as a consequence.
The quick arrival of IAF jets at rocket-launch sites, sometimes only four to five minutes after a Katyusha was fired, “surprised” Hezbollah, the officer said.
Should be a rule. Any Muslim who fires anything from a Muslim city or village brings immediate ruin to said city or village. End of story. God willed it. Mohammed signed, sealed and delivered it, douche-bag that he was. Hefty hefty hefty. Wimpy wimpy wimpy.
Next time they offer a cease fire Israel should say
“OK It starts in 12 days.”
This sort of jibes with my epic poem of last summer
