Hizbullah Establishes Airport in Baalbek, Operates Iranian-Made Drones

"...the Saudi al-Watan daily reported on Thursday."

Hahahahaha.

Right cedre. Those are not drones, they are lawn mowers. What was heard in Me3rab is Gaegea's neighbor trimming the grass of his garden.
Drones al, chou 7al kahi.

If your neighbor used the money to remodel the neighborhood and thereby increase property values, then yes you win from it too. (I'm going along with your metaphor here)

i guess it would be hard to get life insurance while traveling when flying to such an airport, if not..impossible!

I await the day when I will read ONE meaningful post, ONE counter argument, ONE credible or mature info from you, ..Flamethrower.. , but alas!

it s becoming clearer by the day that hizbushaitan is going to be the cause of a major war with Israel.
it is denoted by these leaks in the news these days about several hizbushaitan armaments. for example, these drones have been there for over 2 years and they are manned by iranian revolutionary guard experts.
so my question: why are they talked about these days?

be prepared for a very hot period....

(1). If these reports are confirmed, then it means one thing and one thing only, that Hezbollah is still flaunting everything that represents its constitution, its laws, its very sovereignty. I know that we have a club for people who are enthusiast that enjoy flying models, before they can do so, they'd have to take a clearance from the army and Ministry of the interior, or through the ISF before they go to the approved areas to enjoy their hobby. If scaled models require so much from us, then how can Hezbollah operate with such impunity once again? Why does it need drones anyway? Is Hezbollah trying to upstage the state or is it really telling us Lebanese that it is only a question of time till when we take over the entire country?

(2). It is now so apparent that for many years now, not a day seems to pass by without our being reminded that a major obstacle is in the making, what started off as a seemingly noble resistance now has become the one major impediment to the very viability if not the very survival of Lebanon as a nation of peaceful cohabitation between all its sons and daughters. In the beginning, every Lebanese, albeit much sacrifices did indeed give sanctuary for Hezbollah, or then better known as the Resistance, but after liberation day of May 2000, the majority of the Lebanese wanted to thread the real path to final statehood and the freedom brought about. But sadly and alas, that was not to be, against all our expectations, instead of threading the diplomatic path to consolidate the gains attained then, Hezbollah started telling us about Mazare3 Shebaa.

(3). Most of the Lebanese, including the state, wanted the diplomatic path, not the armed one. We even had the international community firmly standing by us, even Israel gave its tacit approval to that path. yet, we had Syria whose position on Shebaa remained and remain to this day unclear. Now we all know, that Hezbollah never had the Lebanese state at heart, its aim was purely one plugged into the mainstream of the Iranian/Syrian project, Lebanon for all it seems was part of it, not independent of it. Then thereafter Hezbollah kept giving us one shock therapy after the other, as it went from liberation of Lebanon, to Shebaa, to Jerusalem, to Cairo and Egypt, Bahrain, and God knows where further more. Then came to our utter shock and surprise the July 2006 war.

(4). At a time when Lebanon was tipped to have one of its best bumper tourist seasons ever, it all went in the blink of an eye, from paradise, prosperity to hell and total hopelessness. Sayed Hassan even accepted that he went wrong, but what's the use of his word when he is now known to break it as soon as he gives it, it no longer become a word but and insult. Then he used his holy weapons to invade West Beirut and then Hezbollah started killing fellow Lebanese, in the name of what, I wonder! Hezbollah then took us Lebanese from one hellish venture to the other, from occupying Downtown Beirut, to blocking the access to the airport, to kidnapping both Lebanese and non-Lebanese, entering the war in Syria, against the majority of the Lebanese's wishes. I know of a good number of our Shiite brothers who abhor that very day, but yes, they fear the bearers of that Yellow Flag.

(5). Today, the Takfiris are reminding us, that we are now fast on our way to becoming like Iraq and Afghanistan. Now let's be absolutely clear on this, Hezbollah can do jacksh*t when it comes to confronting the terror threat of the Satanic Takfiris in Lebanon, had it not been the dedicated and hard work of the Lebanese state, through all its constitutional security and legal institutions, Hezbollah would still be bearing the brunt of the attacks. Sure, Hezbollah has the means to give us stories and stories about why they are doing the things they are doing, but fewer and fewer people could now believe their repeated deceits, even President Suleiman, who once gave his tacit support for what we once knew as the Resistance, now finds that he must confront it. As of recent, he became the black-sheep of Hezbollah and its sheepish flock of allies, who its clear they too have soul their souls and hides to the devil in the name of selfish interests and the furthest from national interests.

(6). It took us nearly a year to decide on a new government, and now what looks like an eternity to come out with a policy statement, and for what, a government that is purely an interim one for all we know? Look at what Lebanon has become today, a desolate country, whose economy is now truly struggling. We are inundated with refugees, who even worse are now taking over our jobs and even businesses, so instead that we behave like a unified nation, we are becoming ever more polarized. Hezbollah has achieved a lot lately, most of which is its gradual loss of sympathy and good will from its fellow Lebanese siblings, even moderate people like myself, who went into a lot of trouble giving it my qualified support, have now begun making my U-Turn, and for good reasons. Yes, I will never hate my fellow Shiite brother, we shall forever remain brothers, but now my mind and heart have begun making very uncomfortable questions for Hezbollah.

(7). Can you ya Hezbollah continue into your suicidal path? Can you continue ignoring us, our calls for reason forever? Is Syria and Iran more important than Lebanon? You want to tell us as always, why you're always right about your decisions, sure, go ahead, you have not changed one bit, but no one now believes anything you want to say to exonerate yourselves. It looks set, that as the bitterness against you ya Hezbollah is growing, there will come the day when you will realize, hopefully, that listening to your fellow Lebanese brothers would have saved you your very existence. Now it is set to be a question of time, then remember my words, simple.

(8). And I will confirm to you that people like Al Assir and others were just tea party kids compared to what national hatred will feel for you. I repeat, we bear NO hatred for our Shiite siblings, but growing hatred to a militia that keeps lying so chronically, and it's called Hezbollah. Please, from now on, remove the word Allah from your acronym, you never merited it, put anything you want to your militia's name and leave God out of your Satanic agendas, you cannot fool anyone anymore.

or the reportedly 14 drones.

(1) @City, but you have not seen that part where I said, that you are my Shiite brother and that this is how it will stay for life? You are my brother, Shiite, Sunni, Christian, Druze and my aim is for us all to live side by side in our beloved Lebanon. I will never raise my hand over you, not even my voice, even over Hezbollah if you wanted to know. But I must be honest here with you brother, and I am doing this with the utmost respects for your feelings, I now believe that Hezbollah has not been truthful to everyone, even you included. It is gradually inching its way at controlling the country, my country is miserable, feels despondent and hopeless, bro, can't tell you more. You said it, why not integrate HA now and let's move forward, rather than us going into the abyss of the unknown?

Mabrouk 3lina, we are part of wilayat faqih, HizbIran has its army, intelligence, parallel economy, its telecoms and now its airfield in bekaa. I wont even make mention that they control beirut's port and airport...

Filthy murdering militia

why is ultra so pissed off? isn't he happy to know that his militia have a runway for their drones? LOL
what is his problem?

Cityboy: Did God entertain and/or approve an application or request from a human coalition/party to use God and/or God's name on the party's flag/logo? It is not just about what H.A. is sword to do for Iranian/Syrian agenda, but who are they hurting on the way and under what color of authority, whether moral or spiritual. You think those of us who believe in "God" as the one and mighty don't look at H.A's actions in misusing "God" as blasphemous? Wolfe in sheep's clothing? The Devil pretending to be a Saint? OK, I change our minds, I am the party of God. So then what?

Illegally operating an airport outside of state control....How can Hezb claim they have any respect for a sovereign and legitimate Lebanese national government but do something like this?...This is an embarrassment and a display of utter arrogance. Once again, this reveals their true agenda, which has absolutely nothing to do with the true interests of the Lebanese people. They do what they want and when they want. I beg someone to please attempt to justify their actions.

a REAL patriot would say: LEBANON w bass... we see where your patriotism lays, certainly not to Lebanon.... pathetic thing...

yeah, they took it over!!!
