More on Hezbollah's Use of Civilian Areas
Adding to the accumulated evidence documenting Hezbollah's use of civilian areas during the recent war is a story in Sunday's Washington Post. It notes that
[Hezbollah] began preparing for a ground war almost from the day Israeli forces left in May 2000. Most of the militiamen were drawn from their villages and kept their weapons at home. Abdel-Kader said the town or village became the unit of defense, where other arms were stashed. The towns, in turn, were organized into three or four sectors, with a regional command.
"All the weapons were in the right place," he said. "They didn't need to mobilize."
