In its second day, HizbAllah’s offensive in Lebanon against the democratically elected Government has maintained pressures on various levels. Following are the main axis of activities:
HizbAllah’s deployment
By mid week end, several thousands of HizbAllah’s members, cadres and officers have settled inside downtown Beirut, surrounding the Prime Minister’s office. The militia erected dozens of tents in a military fashion, with 30 fighters in each tent. Sources from the Lebanese Army described the “deployment” of the tents as a bivouac-maneuvering of about three brigades, “clearly following the Iranian military code,” said the sources. By late Saturday evening early Sunday morning, the Lebanese Army was able to move a number of these tents to the sides opening a path to the Government building.
However, security sources noted that HizbAllah’s units are positioning themselves in several circles around the center of Beirut. There are no weapons apparent but according to observers, the “demonstrators” can be armed in less than three hours and “become” the equivalent of half a “division” in the downtown area and close to a division inside Sunni Beirut.

Actually, the christians should stand up with the sunni's and moderate shia to the threat to their country from Iran and Syria. If Nasrallah and his Iranian and Syrian puppetmasters are successful in Lebanon, they will use their tactics as a template in Gaza, in Iraq, and in other countries with a sizable Shia population. The only good that is coming of this situation is that it is scaring the Saudi's into taking a stand, and they will flow money and arms if necessary to those who oppose the radical Shia in Lebanon. Worth noting before the war this summer, the Saudi oil money had rebuilt Beirut to a condition approaching pre-civil war levels. Many rich Saudi's had condos, homes, etc built in Lebanon as vacation homes in the 'Paris' of the middle east, with liquor, gambling, and all those pleasures not allowed in the Kingdom.
