Mixed with guns, can be very lethal indeed.

Thank you for the pics...



Some of these images are heart breaking. Women crying her apartment burnt down. Woman carrying her baby across the street, probably under gunfire.

So sad to re-live these days again. Seems like another generation wasted.

God save us all.

Who said hezbollah are in south and dahyeh only?

What about kmatiyi?

Again like I say in every thread...lebanon does not belong to a sect it belongs to all of us. So stop saying shia are in dahyi and south. There are druze in the south and they are armed. There are FM in the south and they are also armed. Just there are SSNP in the jabal.
