...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...have prepared a plan to evacuate employees and workers in coordination with the Lebanese Army, a media report said.
"The army will allow these to use military airports and small ports for evacuation should the Beirut international airport be closed," al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Thursday.
"Foreign companies and media outlets that have major offices in Beirut have asked their employees to prepare to move to a number of countries in the region, including the UAE, while keeping a very limited number of employees in Beirut," the daily added.
Foreign and Arab embassies have meanwhile upped their security measures and evacuated additional numbers of their diplomats and their families, especially after the protests that started yesterday in response to the Gazoo

The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about

hospital carnage, al-Akhbar quoted security sources as saying.
Informed sources meanwhile said that caretaker Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib has invited Arab ambassadors to a meeting that will be held today, Thursday.
Bou Habib had warned at the Islamic summit in Jeddah that the entire region might go up in flames should the war on Gaza continue.
