At least 20 Hizbullah fighters have been killed during military training in Iran, the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Watan reported Thursday evening, quoting the Director General of the Islamic Union in Lebanon, Muhammad Ali Husseini
The Lebanese official did not say exactly how the fighters were killed, but he made clear that "Hizbullah regards those killed while training in Iran as holy ones who died fulfilling their duties, and this concerns not only Shi'ites, but also Sunnis who are loyal to Hizbullah."
"The training in Iran lies at the heart of our connections with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard", said Husseini, who added that "this is known to all Lebanese people."
This week, the British newspaper The Independent, reported that since November 2006, 4,500 Hizbullah fighters have been sent to Iran for training, with each round of training lasting three months. Every month, 300 Hizbullah fighters fly from Beirut to Teheran, with many of them coming from the villages south of the Litani River, said the report.
According to the newspaper, the fighters are being trained in live munitions and rocket-launchers in preparation for the coming war with Israel. Hizbullah has focused on the most up-to-date weapons in order to prevent Israel from launching another action against Lebanon.
Cut the Red wire...?
Pull pin throw pin.
I picture a jihadist moron holding a rocket launcher backwards and firing it into the group of other trainees standing behind him.
Hah! I had just the same picture in my head.
“No Achmed! Wait! you’ve got— “ [bang]
You gotta give these people a little bit of credit. When they get killed you don't hear chants of "Mahmoud lied and Hezbollah died." Instead they anoint them as holy ones.
That final exam for Suicide Bomber 101 can be a real killer!
Achmed! Quick! What comes after four!!!
Hopefully, a round, metallic object fell out of the sky and ruined their day.
Suicide Bombing Training?
Not in the news: “High fives all around back at Mossad HQ where Moshe Bauer is congratulated for sneaking in to replace the dummy practice rounds with live ammo.” Isn’t that how it’s supposed to work!!!
