#2 Hezbollah now has enough enemies among the Lebanese that their security needs to be quite a bit tighter than it was pre=2006.

They probably also need to have more steel reinforced concrete, deeper excavation, etc. for the HQ. I've thought for some time that this will make their air supply more vulnerable since there will be more pipe length and a greater need for mechanism forcing of air flow. We'll see about this.

#3 Given that they've had Iranian funding and already have their own dedicated telecomms system in progress, separate from the public one, I wouldn't automatically laugh off their new HQ too lightly. Chances are it's already up and running and any new movement is a smokescreen.

Or, it could be they're tottering on their legs due to the push against Fatah al Islam and the presence of arms and a handful of ... trainers ... from the US working with the Lebanese forces.

Iran is in this for the long haul, tho.
