Make sure to check out the UN propaganda poster blaming Israel for leaving behind landmines. A theme emerges of the the fighters from 'the Party of Allah' choosing firing position from inside the Christian village, when much better positions would have been outside. The reason? Use the civilians as human shields.
But here is the most damning part:
He told me that 18 days after the start of the war a large group of civilians decided it was time to leave Ain Ebel and flee to the north. They were no longer willing to stay while Israel fired back at Hezbollah’s rocket launchers. It was too dangerous, and Hezbollah insisted on staying and endangering those who lived there.Read the rest.So they fled the area in a convoy of civilian vehicles. It was safer, they figured, to travel in a group than alone.
On their way out of the village, Hezbollah fighters stood on the side of the road and opened fire with machine guns on the fleeing civilians....
"Why?" I had an idea, but I wanted a local person to say it.
Because, Alan said, Hezbollah wanted to use the civilians of Ain Ebel as “human shields.†I did not use the phrase “human shields.†These were Alan’s own words.
