Hizbullah Rampaging Through Beirut

Gateway Pundit has the photos and video of Hizbullah's latest offensive against the Lebanese people. Of course, the Islamic terrorists, a proxy of Iran, is blaming the government for Hizbullah's rioting.

UPDATE:
Nasrallah wants your sympathy, even as his Hizbullah terrorists busy doing what they do best - terrorizing and blowing stuff up around Beirut causing mayhem, misery, and a sense of foreboding that the worst is yet to come.

The fighting raging on around the city has pretty much paralyzed Beirut. Clashes between the Shi'ite Hizbullah and Sunni factions have resulted in a number of injuries.
Thursday's violence has spread outside the capital of Beirut, with rival groups exchanging gunfire in the village of Saadnayel in the eastern Bekaa Valley.

The area is on a major crossroads linking the Shiite areas of Baalbek, a Hezbollah stronghold, with central Lebanon and Beirut. Security officials say four people have been injured.

Hezbollah supporters have also kept the road to the country's only airport blocked, effectively closing the airport for a second day.

Lebanon's political deadlock exploded into violence Wednesday when supporters of the Hezbollah-led opposition blocked roads in the capital to enforce a strike called by labour unions protesting the government's economic policies and demanding pay raises.

The strike quickly escalated into street confrontations between supporters of the rival camps. About a dozen people were injured, mostly by stones, but no deaths were reported.

Lebanon's national carrier, Middle East Airlines, said it was canceling flights until Thursday afternoon because of the road closures and would reassess the situation later.
That's right folks, Hizbullah wants the world to think that they're the good guys in all this by closing the international airport, clashing with the sovereign and duly elected government of Lebanon, and pushing a separatist agenda that benefits Hizbullah and its terror masters in Damascus and Tehran.

UPDATE:
Hizbullah's Nasrallah says that it's a war. Who am I to argue. He wants war, the Lebanese military should oblige him - targeting him personally and not letting up until it has destroyed the terrorist infrastructure that the group and its terror masters have cultivated for far too long. Nasrallah wants to wrap his terror minions up in the flag of Lebanese nationalism, but they're the ones who provoked this fight, and they're the ones who are purposefully interfering in Lebanese sovereignty. They are the threat to Lebanon's survival as an intact nation.

UPDATE:
Other Lebanese-centric blogs include: From Beirut to Beltway, Beirut Spring, and Lebanese Political Journal among others.

UPDATE:
Michael Totten has a bunch of guest posters providing analysis of the ongoing situation in Lebanon. Their work is better than what you'll find in the dead tree media like the NY Times or WaPo.
