Debka: Ein-el-Hellhole going hot
2007-06-04
I saw a report (can't remember the link, sorry) that the muj were evacuating their own wives and kiddies from Hellhole as they prepared for personal struggle jihad. Naturally they left everyone *else's* wives and kiddies for rewarding careers as human shields and world media propaganda.
Fighting broke out in the southern Ain Hilwa camp June 3 between pro-Syrian groups close to al Qaeda and Lebanese forces. DEBKAfileÂ’s sources report the Islamist Jund al Sham (Army of the Levant) prepared its offensive by building fortifications and evacuating Palestinian families from battle arenas.

The spread of anti-government, Damascus-fomented clashes to the southern Lebanese Palestinian camp is a very serious development. It places the Palestinian refugee camps of the capital, Beirut, next in the line of fire – likewise the United Nations contingents policing the Lebanese-Israeli border. Al Qaeda elements among the Palestinians have repeatedly threatened the international force with attack.
It's what they do.
In the southern Ain Hilwa camp, our military sources report Lebanese troops must take on a coalition of radical Palestinian groups linked to al Qaeda and pro-Syrian terrorist factions, copiously armed with weapons and ammo from Damascus and its Lebanese supporters, including Hizballah. DEBKAfileÂ’s military sources report Syria has lined up an anti-Lebanese government front of Palestinian and Islamic radicals for an orchestrated campaign of violence to derail the UN Security Council resolution establishing an international tribunal for prosecuting the suspected murderers of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq Hariri. They are under orders to sow mayhem across the country against the pro-Western Fouad Siniora in Beirut and mark down UNIFIL and northern Israel as additional targets.

#9  You seem to have that "be prepared" ethos down pat, Barbara. Fortunately for the rest of us, in desperate need of popcorn at such moments. :-)

#7  I hope the Lebanese use this opportunity to clean out those camps for good, as in gentrification. Imagine the surprise if they suddenly started pushing large numbers of Paleos into Syria.

You want 'em? You got 'em.

#6  Sorry Mr. Mouse. Have Gun Will Travel was one of the best shows of all time in my opinion. Paladin was a truly classy hero and would rather settle dispute any way he could before he'd resort to the gun. Too bad he's not here now. There wouldn't be an Orc left standing.

#5  won't it be a surprise when hezbollah launches rockets into Israel or tries to kidnap Joooos just as the International Hariri trial begins? Hell, I can be dictator of Syria. It's JUST that easy. We all know the dance steps!

#4  Phil, Firefox/2.0.0.4 has more problems than just that. All related to javascript bugs. Hopefully, 2.0.1 may resolve that.

#3  and mark down ... northern Israel as additional targets.

Wouldn't be Paleos if they didn't bite every hand that feeds them.

As Stogie Smokey the Bear might say about improperly attended refugee camps:

"Crush their butts, snuff their butts."
