Hezbollah: Drill held at Israel border meant to ready us for war

You Poor Soul, the flares were for bracketing firing zones--If Israel wanted more detail, she would have paid a Lebanese to furnish additional information--Not all intelligence has to be electronic, visual sighting will do just as well--

Since you're so blatantly talking about war and the prospects for war, would you be good enough to answer a simple question--Where were you during the last War and where do you intend to be during the next one..??

on an Israeli forum ! Actually, you should grasp this opportunity to try to understand the ennemy mentality, and to find out several relevant ways to make peace, and to get out of a collection of crisis with the Jewish state ! My family in South Lebanon has suffered form war destructions, and I m sorry, but both Hizbullah and IDF were responsible for that ! We will have to make peace with our two only neighbours (we have not the least shape of diplomatic relations with Syria and Lebanon, and for that, Lebanon is an exception on Earth) one day ... Peace !

so to answer you, hezbollah did scream for a ceasefire. because they're not ashamed to try to save their people's lives. even they, with their knowledge of israel, didnt foresee this level of stupidity from olmert. BUT, it very much irritates when israel tries to act like it was the UN who made it stop. what made israel pull out was the number of casualties it was taking in lebanon, and to save itself the further embarassment of murdering 1200 civilians, destroying half of lebanon, and the number of rockets increasing. thats why israel stopped, and both of us know very well that it was israel who was desperate for a way out without losing face, which they did anyway.

I've just woken up so excuse me if i lack coherency. Another myth. to make israel feel better. "next time the UN wont save you". ok, with 65+ resolutions violated by israel, and with many MANY that never went through because they were vetoed by the US, nobody can argue that israel gives a damn about the UN. In fact, the UN called for a ceasefire from the first day. It was only george and tony who considered civilians dispensible given the imminent removal of hezbollah. You may be forgiven for not believing this, because the "war on terror" media campaign has been relentless in selling you crap, but hezbollah doesnt actually WANT people to die. When hezbollah talks of not fearing death and then actually fighting to the death, it may give its opponents the opportunity to score media points, but they value life more than anybody else. they just dont believe in a life of humiliation and injustice, and would give up their lives to bring about that justice.

You know what you wrote is garbage.Are you from Hez Info Unit? I do agree that the Shahid types are OFTEN educated-not just disaffected youths as London Lefties like Mrs Tony Blair thinks. You were lucky that a Olmert AND Peretz were in charge.They jumped in without a plan. That helped a lot . Next time I dont think Hez will be so lucky.I dont believe fighting Hez will be a walk in the Park-but at least Israel understands that Hez is well organised . Frankly after the dammage to both Hez&Lebanon ,I dont think there is such zeal for more .

Of course you look forward to the "Next Round", your ass won't be on the line--Now, if actually volunteered and joined in the next round, it would show your heart is where the action will be--You're the type that sits in the grandstands, far from harm, and cheers the teams on for your enjoyment--Both you and Ahmed should enlist and join the action, let's see if your as tough as your words--

Now that's funny: 'modest means but all heart'. Modest means? You earn nothing and live on charity. All heart? I doubt you have one at all. Suicide bombing children and teenagers, deliberately killing innocents is no evidence of 'heart'.

You talk a lot of sense. The Israeli army has been softened by being allowed to occupy a territory where they use force against an unarmed population. Killing kids who throw stones. Using unarmed civilians as human shields. They have destroyed their real fighting ability through their folly and abuse of power. Now they come up against a disciplined army, they cry foul. We do not know how to fight this way. Man on Man and even chances on the ground. Invading forces have little motivation other than their officers orders. And when they suspect that their lives are being used as political pawns. Both parties are soldiers and armys. To denigrate your opponent leads you to make mistakes. So now where to go. Fighting fair and square. I know which side I will probably be calling coward. Not the side fighting for their land. I look forward to Herzbolla having a cure for the Israeli Air force to see what really will happen on the ground. Tally ho Ahmed. I look forward to the next round.

Lets all be honest with ourselves, Hizbollah is the unprecedented standard in modern warfare that has military experts from Tel Aviv to the Pentagon running in circles. The ultimate formula, where one has nothing to lose, and everything to gain. A rebel with modest means, but all heart! See you when you get there.. God Bless

muslims!muslim!muslim!when are you going to stop this terror?give israel,afghanistan,pakistan a break?why don't you just let your mahdi[false messiah] come naturally?you own violence won't speed up his coming.he comes with false peace[for 3 1/2 years]then you'll find out his true colors after those peaceful years.

#12/13, Ahmed that was good. I shook so much with fright whilst holding a glass of milk that it actually turned into a milk shake. ps so you regard Iranian military in Lebanon to be terrorists? What about the Syrian military puppets? Please don't say NO as it will only make me want to shake with fear even more.

So much for so-called Israeli Intelligence. It's comical, really, that the zionist state sent flares long after the Hez'b Allah drills occurred. Quo vadis, zionism?

in the last 2 days for the purpose of killing hezbollah fighters? what possible purpose could they serve except civilian casualties and to make the land un-inhabitable? Maybe.. maybe..maybe it has something to do with what the bible tells you to do when fighting an enemy? killing the land and the trees until nothing breatheth were you? smiting them until none are left alive were you? for all the talk you guys all have about the violent religion of islam, id ask you to do some research and tell me the differences in what the quran and the bible teach about the conduct of war. Arab armies who have lost to you, lost because they followed their greed and own personal benefit. they used islam as a shield for their own selfish desires. and they lost. not hezbollah. and you are seeing this every day. and as much as it tears you up inside, both you, and i, and everybody else, know where hezbollah will lead israel, and history will be rewritten. along with geography.

And, as for hezbollah's "education". Firstly, hezbollah is not like the joke armies you fought before. all the fighters are educated with degrees in every discipline you can imagine. and before they ever see a gun, they're observed for 2 years to make sure they have the conduct of gentlemen. go on laugh. but go ask a lebanese person of their experience of the fighters. you will never hear one of them so much as swearing, do you understand what that means? that means intelligence. and it means discipline. and it means a command structure the israelis could never dream of obtaining with ALL the military equipment and sophistication in the world. maybe you can watch the publicly available graduation ceremony for the fighters and count the number of disciplines and unviersities attended by the fighters. and besides, id say it takes a pretty good IQ to fight one of the worlds (well what used to be) best armies. let me ask something else, were the 2 million bomblets dropped on lebanon

hmm, let me understand. An invading army, surrounding a house, in a village, in another country, and firing at it, and the guy on the radio doesnt catch the irony of what he's saying. Terrorists inside the house?? HAHAHHA. TERRORISTS INSIDE THE HOUSE WE ARE FIRING ON INSIDE THE COUNTRY WE ARE INVADING???????????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH SO, tell me, what does that make you? a peace activist? a liberator? are you liberating us? a peace maker? it certainly doesnt make you a terrorist, because you're not terrorising are you? and it doesnt make you a rapist does it because you're not raping the land are you? and it doesnt make you a coward because you dont have the balls to see who's inside so you just bring the whole thing down.

the "mighty" idf is only mighty when its 30,000feet high in the air. against the men of lebanon, they would have to come down and fight on the ground. and we all know how that would end, DESPITE whatever advanced weapons you might have. THIS is what drives israel crazy. so, what do they do?? launch air campaigns and wipe out blocks at a time. whos in them? who cares! blame it on hezbollah hiding in the building. WE KNOW whether hezbollah hide in our buildings and behind our women. they dont. but do you know who does? i'll show you! go on to youtube,and type "human shield idf". lets see how many instances of CHILDREN you will find that were CAUGHT (how many that werent??) of "brave" idf soldiers using palestinian kids as shields in their operations. you still got a smart reply? i've given up on arguing this use of the word "terrorist" now. its just so laughable that i give up. i saw a clip of an israeli tank inside lebanon, firing at a house and saying "theres terrorists" inside.

big point of stressing on, not only that hezbollah does not and has not used human shields, but of the apparent "care that is taken to operate away from civilians". dont believe me? READ IT ! let me guess your next posting: "human rights watch anti semetic and are calling for destruction of israel. HITLER HITLER HOLOCAUST HITLER NAZI HOLOCAUST" NO, hezbollah does not use human shields. these MEN give up their lives to throw your terrorist armies out, they hardly would go to such lengths and then hide behind a woman. and before you start talking this 72 virgins bullshit, this is some propaganda campaign where some retarded sheikh of the streets scored an interview for fox news and now it will never be forgotten. let me remind you, that your bible is not very far off from whatever we believe about the next life. so say something intelligent, or say nothing at all. Now let me tell you why this myth of human shields is the only thing you will ever hear out of an israeli:

lets get one thing straight. if you are going to attempt to engage in an intelligent conversation, state facts, not information you wish was true. I am from the south of lebanon, and so i'd say i know more about hezbollah than YOU. if somebody is using my own family and friends as human shields i would hardly support them. nor would the 1.5million who showed up to nasrallahs speech after the war (got a calculator? 1.5million/3.5million = ? %) this is an ugly UGLY myth that is the last weapon of the desperate israeli, wallowing in the misery of his defeat at the hands of a small militia. WE KNOW, and no amount of you saying otherwise will change what we see with our own eyes. HEZBOLLAH has never used ANYBODY as human shields. i'm pretty sure you read nothing that doesnt fit what you want to hear, but maybe i can turn your attention to the latest human rights watch report. aside from whatever criticism it had of hezbollah regarding its firing rockets into israel, they made a very

Question: why is everybody so concerend for lebanese all of a sudden at the hands of hezbllah??? "the threat hezbollah poses to lebanon". HEZBOLLAH HAS NEVER EVER EVER EVER RAISED A WEAPON, OR FIRED A BULLET on a lebanese. Now, as for your allies inside lebanon, the people who "care" and who want to lead us to "peace".. lets talk about them. lets talk about their massacres against lebanese. lets talk about their giving intelligence to israel. lets talk about their marking of buildings during the war. YOU or BUSH is going to tell ME who is best for ME in MY country? in MY country, my protector is hezbollah. thats the very reason they are your enemy. for a country that has the bottom half of lebanon listed as part of its "promised land", i would say israel has every reason to say whatever they can about hezbollah. doesnt make it true. read on my friend.

Cool down with the rhetoric? Where am I from? I'm lebanese iraqi and i live in the uk. its not rhetoric for the sake of rhetoric. I lived through the 80's war in lebanon, and my entire family was there in 2006. U can read all you like and feel like you know. but nobody knows who wasnt there. theres a good reason why 1.5million people from a population of 3.5million show up to nasrallah's after war speech.

Last time Israel spent two weeks relying on the warplanes, and didn't sent the troops in until too late. It didn't work. Hezbollah would have to be daft to think that Israel would try the same failed tactic a 2nd time around, so they would have to assume that the next war will start with a lighting ground assault by the IDF. So the rapid mobilization of Hezbollah fighters is going to be critical. That's why I think these "maneouvres" were a test to see if Hezbollah troops can swiftly mobilize and take up their assigned positions without anyone seeing, hearing or noticing anything. Gonna be critical if Hezbollah is to wipe the smile from an IDF that *thinks* it has achieved complete surprise but *finds* it is up against an enemy that is ready, willing and able to get down and get dirty.

of course it wont be a cake walk with the terrorist hiding under womens skirts and in schools behind children, the exersize was a threat and israel should act swift and minimize civilian casulties but of course hezbollah wasnt really there when israel turned on the lites (flares) hezbollah with no weapons, what a joke. GOD bless Israel

Wow, Ahmed....where'd you come from?

Ahmed is deluded and I cannot blame him for he is one of many in the Islamic world who thinks this conflict is fun and games. This is real and the threat that Hizbollah poses to Lebanon (note: Hizbollah is too insignificant to actually threaten Israel) is great. Ahmed US Marines are little girls with pigtails compared to the IDF. The average IQ of the voluntary Marine is about half of what a involuntary IDF soldier and Hizbollah terrorist have half the IQS of American marines so you see the biggest threat to Israel is Arab ignorance which Ahmed is a fine example. If it was not for the captive Lebanese women and children aka "human shields" (in Arabic) that Hizbollah hides behind the Israeli Military would have cleaned up Hizbollah Terrorist years ago. Hizbollah are like Rabbits, they multiply like Rats, hide in holes in the ground and run like Rabbits at the first sign from danger, oh Rabbits also eat their young, Hizbollah terrorist hide behind them. Rabbits are a Pest and likewise.

It seems as though the people writing on haaretz talkback generally only read Haaretz. Other newspapers have reported this. They were in southern Lebanon and it was a three day exercise. It was watched by Israel and reports say that Lebanese TV even showed the drones above. The thing is they used no real weapons so that the UN wouldn't stop them.

Ahmed, or whatever your name is? Son, you and I know that we can go in and hold whatever, whenever we want when it comes to Lebanon. Hezbollah is no match for us or the desires of the Lebanese people. Nobody here wants a war, so keep talking, over-promising and under-delivering?.. Salaam

What makes you think that if someone had noticed, they would have posted the information for the world to see--??--Of course, you, in your esteemed postion, would have been the very first to have been advised--Did you ever hear of "Military Secrets"??

You are muslims, you will destroy yourselves, just as you have been since start of islam. Your countries doesn't even have toothpaste. You are the poorest most uneducated, most incapable of all countries in the world.

Enough ! Many comments, in this forum, point out which should be the best techniques in order to get final victory. Don't you think that it will be better for everybody to try to have peace ? The same applies for Lebanese too... But if jews want to prove that they are smarter than Lebanese (making war is the deepest form of human stupidity), they should not engage themselves in the cycle of hatred initialized by some leaders ! The first country to make a step towards peace will, mathematically, appear more sympathetic to the other ; the other country will therefore follow at its rythm... step after step, peace should be achieved !

I won't believe Seniora unless he cries on T.V

What must be different this time, is Israel must care more about victory, than sparing the accomplices who pretend to be civilians.

Making Peace with Syria would give Hezbollah Golan to fire from. Not Possible. No peace with Syria, no peace with Hezbollah,. no peace with Palestine, no Peace with anyone for anyone. Serbia will continue to be attacked, India will continue to be attacked, Russia will continue to be attacked, Ethiopia will continue to be attacked and this must be accepted. When Israel has to attack Hezbollah again, they will have to do so with Mk IVs instead of Mk IIIs and they will have to do so without so much concern for the welfare of the terrorists who pretend to be civilians. No sitting around dropping warnings this time, just bomb the hell out of the place and plow straight for Beirut with every intention of killing everything that gets in the way, whether their bonnets are Black, White or Even Blue.

They probably looked just like all of the other civilians, as usual.

As their leader said last week.

Never heard about the Hizballah going into action witout Israel attacking? How did they kidnap the soldiers in 2000? Why did they attack and enter the village of Rajar 2 years ago, did Israel attack them? Why did they kill approximately 1-2 soldiers a year since 2000 without being provoked? Why did they kidnap the soldiers in 2000, did Israel attack them? Stop defending the terrorists!!!

People like you are why Israel should stop trying to protect the terrorists who pretend to be civilians. If Israel just killed them all, you would not be sitting there pretending the Islamic World had half a chance of realizing its dream of Exterminating the Jewish People. Israel should just kill everyone in Southern Lebanon along with anyone who helps them, even if they are sitting in California. Speaking of California, I will be in California Tomorrow. ;)

Lebanon is a very divided country and its government lacks real power. To deal with Hizballah, one must deal with Syria. The people who refuse to recognize this reality are wasting their time and ours, and get into unnecessary wars too. Peace between Israel and Syria will benefit both Israel and the US. Syria will cease to be a transit station for weapons from Iran to Hizballah, forcing the Hizb to finally become a political party. The Iran northern wing will be cut off, getting the Iranians to feel less powerful and more amenable to reality, and the rejectionist Palestinian group like Hamas will be weakened too and become more willing to talk. Who is objecting to such obvious benefits, seen even by Jim Baker and the moderate Republicans? Dumbya Bush is still fighting the "evil" in the world, and Olmert is happy that he does not yet have to return the Golan and have problems from Israeli rejectionists. The simplicity and inevitability of this move is what makes the present blindness more tragic than comic.

"I have no doubt that it will be possible to start negotiating with Syria if it commits to ending violence and support of terror, Hamas, and Hizballah, and cuts off the contact with Iran" - Olmert Just like Master Bush, Olmert first wants the Syrians to relieve themselves of all their assets, and only then there will be talk. Bush can`t even be a Ballegoolle (carriage driver); he puts the carriage in front of the horses! Why do the Syrians support Hamas and Hizballah? Because they want their Golan back, but are afraid (at least until the recent Lebanon war) to confront Israel directly. The Syrians have already caused indirectly two wars in Lebanon, in 1982 (by supporting the PLO) and in 2006 (by supporting Hizballah). Another war is expected soon. Why do the Syrians have close ties with Iran? Because they are threatened by the US, their old supporter the USSR is no more, and they need some protector. They take the one they can get, even though Iran is not the most natural ally (Sunni vs. Shiite, Secular vs. Islamist, Arab vs. Farsi). The way you deal with other people is to agree on some "cease fire" for the duration. You do not ask the opponent to first turn its weapons into scrap metal. In the Syrian context, a "cease fire" could be some verifiable (temporary) stop to rearming Hizballah or some other gesture. Israel may be asked to commit to something equivalent. Instead of following Master Dumbya Bush, Olmert should try to educate him and explain to him that taking Syria out of the Iranian orbit will be very beneficial to the US. Let Israel educate the Israel-leaning neocons about the benefits to all, and they will get it into Bush`s head by constant repetition.

With such a week dollar, the crude oil hike. My word the pension funds,no,no a war is not the way to solve this. Lets all put some money into a fund and " BUY LEBANON"! Voila. Solution. Hello diplomats!!

Just keep in mind that the marines could demolish you. The US has weapons that you cannot even dream of. If I were you, I would not engage in provocative nonsense.

The IDF should prepare to whip the dark forces. They are already preparing to attack Israel. Israel should do a lightning job that will be better than 1967.

Tossi dear, do you really expect UNIFIL to stand in front of IDF tanks? I doubt that they are suicidal.

Most IDF ground forces were introduced in the last few days of the war.

It must be cathartic to dream aloud in this way, 'Ahmed.' But you will be well advised to remind yourself that the only reason you and your theocrat friends are still able to post on Israeli newspaper sites is that Israel has tried hard to minimise collateral damage in its self-defense actions. You won't be so lucky this time. The US will be completely annihilating yr puppetmasters in Iran from above within the coming months. It will do the same to yr intermediate puppetmasters in Syria, with help from the Israelis. And the Israelis will completely vapourise you and Hamastan within a mere matter of hours when these festivities begin. Thereafter, there will be a free, liberal, civilised Lebanon at last, unthreatened by religous bigots in the south; and there will once again be fraternity among the descendants of all of the ancient, pre-bigot Phonecians. But alas, you and your friends will be nothing but molecules in the air at that time.

the war is trug ,so pay attention ,Hizbollah will attempt to learn from it`s mistakes in the last conflict,the answer tothis problem diplomatic,israel aim at saftey ,not violence

The old adage "What doesn't kill us will only make us stronger" certainly applies to Hezbollah. The foolish decision to cut the previous war short has emboldened Hezbollah, swollen their ranks, and alloweded them to arm like never before. The next encounter, as a result, will be much more difficult and bloody than it would have been to finish them off the first time. Relying on the U.N. was a complete disaster, and one can only hope that Israel takes the lesson to heart not just in relation to the U.N.'s "guarantee" of keeping Hezbollah away from the border, but also in relation to any inane hope that the U.N., or anyone else, will deal with the existential Iranian nuclear threat. Peace through victory.

In the last war in Lebanon the Israeli forces took their warplan from the basic warplan book. They bombed and shelled the Hizbollah positions for a week and then advanced with tanks and infantry. This is when things came apart, because Hizbollah was there destroying the tanks and causing heavy IDF casualties. At this point, the IDF retreated and spent the rest of the war bombing and shelling with no more direct contact. In the next war, the IDF won't have the option of running away again. They really can't afford to lose again and they don't have to lose again. They just need to be prepared to take heavy casualties and keep going. Hizbollah may also make it more interesting for the IAF as well, if the Israeli reports are any indication. Even though the IDF has a huge technological advantage over Hizbollah, this fight is almost on an equal footing, which makes it very tough for the IDF. They are simply not used to being shot at.

a brief lesson in history, and maybe a chat with the marines (whats left of them) who last tried to build bases in lebanon. Get it through your thieving and stupid minds. Lebanon is lebanon, and it will remain lebanon. The only US or "israeli" soldiers to be in lebanon will be those in graves. Call it what you want, but until the day hezbollah can invade america and set up bases in california, new york and washington, any foreign military presence in lebanon is TERRORISM, will be met with the ferocious fist of hezbollahs anti terrorism fighters. the fist of which the 2006 war was a taste. I ask again, what are you going to do about it? NOTHING.

Yea, Hezbollah did exercises. And what? whats israel going to do about it? complain to the UN? the bigggest violator of UN resolutions since its inception is going to complain to the UN? The only holder of nuclear weapons in the middle east is going to complain about Iran's "potential" for producing nuclear weapons? Some people may be stupid. In south lebanon, they are not. Hezbollah will train where and when they please. They will obtain whatever weapons they desire, and they will engage the terrorist militia of occupied palestine, the idf. And whats israel going to do about it? NOTHING. OR, they can try, and we are even MORE prepared than the last time. A surprise attack against the civilian population in lebanon did nothing but double hezbollahs fighters, and bring lebanese christian girls in mini skirts to cheer nasrallah. your allies in the lebanese government have no power against hezbollah. And when you lose and the US needs to send its marines to lebanon, i recommend

Its clear to me and anyone interested that Hizbollah will attempt to learn from it's mistakes in the last conflict, however have no illusions that the IDF is doing the same. The next the time if Lebanon has the misfortune of a "next time" the IDF will use it's knowledge to route out Hizbollah and destroy them before they have a chance to mobilize. The Air campaign from the last war was too brief and limited in scope often IAF planes wasted bombs on vacant buildings and lots in attempts to spare the poor Lebanese civilians being used as Human shields. The IAF cannot let its tradition of humanity interfere with the operations and any civilians must evacuate or risk being caught in the middle. Next time Israel will be prepared and all the training in the world won't save Nasharallah from his fate as it did not save Sheik Yassin or the many other terrorist who the IDF sent to receive their "70 virgins". Btw those virgins are actually 70 year old toothless, 300 kg whores, enjoy!

Hezbollah is another branch of the Iranain army. If a peace deal approaches you can be assured they will start a conflict. This time Israel will not make the same mistakes. they will give ample warning to villagers and if there is still enemy activity rze the village. This will take place until at least the Litani River

Hizballah probably exercised its ground forces, not the short range Katyushas which it may or may not have plenty of in South Lebanon. The Hizballah ground forces will go into action presumably only if Israel invades. But it will be difficult for Israel to invade with UNIFIL present. UNIFIL soldiers may be ordered to stand in front of Israeli tanks and stop them. Still, Israel invaded before (with fewer UNIFIL) and may do so again. Presumably, an Israeli invasion will be prompted by a Katyusha attack (following an attack on Iran?) or a kidnap/cross border attack, but it will not be a cake-walk. Israel should realize that the best way to calm the northern border is to make peace with Syria, thus putting an end to military Hizballah.

Unless Israel is willing to go in and fight street-to-street, man-to-man and hand-to-hand, which I seriously doubt,why would the results of round II be any different than those of round I? Air power proved useless.

and its a very dangerous game that may inevitably result in lost lives and billions of dollars of economic damage to Lebanon...again. Hizballah has to get over their wet dream of being a national army, put down their guns and act civilized

Instead of reacting, how about the UN and the Lebanese military doing a sweep and then drilling Hezbollah to the wall. Kassem and his buddies should not be out on the street. These kind of exercises were the type employed by Germany prior to 1939. Since, Hezbollah has already acted on its intentions, Israel should not fool around, but give them a real drill--as in Syria of late.

Will Israel be ready?

but i surely would like the idf to screw hizballah again.this time with a deal more gumption. hizballah you have already received the first course the second will be more horrible.

Sounds like the UN was fooled by the cloaking device, or maybe they just weren't paying attention as usual and were sitting there playing chess! Israel should ready the photon torpidoes and be prepared for war!

....on the ground. Hezbelloh does everything below the ground. Did the Israelis ever see them building their underground bunkers between 2000 and 2006? Hezbollah is invisible to Israel and everybody else and that's the way it's supposed to be.

Mark: All I can say and hope for is that if it comes to another war..... Let's hope that Olmert will no longer be our "Leader" and someone more competent will have taken his place. A better leader and lessons learned in 2006 should help the situation!

Hizbollah says it had a very successful and massive mobilization drill. No one else noticed anything. Several possibilities: 1. Hizbollah is lying 2. Everyone else is deaf, blind and not paying attention 3. Klingon Masking Device technology is spreading from the Syrian reactor site to Hizbollah
