Hizbullah's exploitation of Lebanese population centers and
civilians: Photographic evidence
12 Jul 2006
The Hizbullah terrorists in Lebanon have purposely hidden
themselves and stockpiled their missiles in residential
areas, thus endangering the surrounding populations. Indeed,
many of the missiles recently fired at Israel were stored
and launched from or near private homes, commandeered by
Hizbullah terrorists wishing to shield their actions behind
civilians in order to thwart Israel’s response.

Hezbollah uses UN posts as shields

OTTAWA - The words of a Canadian United Nations observer
written just days before he was killed in an Israeli bombing
of a UN post in Lebanon are evidence Hezbollah was using the
post as a ''shield'' to fire rockets into Israel, says a
former UN commander in Bosnia.

Photos that damn Hezbollah

THIS is the picture that damns Hezbollah. It is one of
several, smuggled from behind Lebanon's battle lines,
showing that Hezbollah is waging war amid suburbia.
The images, obtained exclusively by the Sunday Herald Sun,
show Hezbollah using high-density residential areas as
launch pads for rockets and heavy-calibre weapons.
Dressed in civilian clothing so they can quickly disappear,
the militants carrying automatic assault rifles and ride in
on trucks mounted with cannon.
The photographs, from the Christian area of Wadi Chahrour in
the east of Beirut, were taken by a visiting journalist and
smuggled out by a friend.
