    IS has now entered Lebanon.....also we already know that al Nusra has reached the Golan Heights. What say ye?

    .....and it could be a key part of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s masterplan.

    [​IMG]

    After all the warnings and all the clichés about a war that would “spill” over Syria’s border, the savage fighters of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s Sunni Muslim “caliphate” have at last arrived in Lebanon. So far, the Lebanese army has lost 13 of its soldiers in a costly battle with rebels to retake the north-eastern Sunni town of Arsal – on the Syrian border and hitherto a resupply base for Islamists trying to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad – while the conflict has generated the same gruesome events which followed Islamist victories in Iraq and Syria: reports of civilian executions, government soldiers taken hostage, at least 12 civilians confirmed dead, including five children, and the prospect of long and bloody fighting ahead.

    [​IMG]

    Reports of independent resistance groups who oppose both Assad and Isis – and supposedly call themselves “White Shrouds” – should be taken with the usual Syrian caution. Various militia outfits of both Sunni and mixed persuasions have strode fitfully onto the stage of the civil war over the past two years, only to vanish or merge into larger rebel or government forces. But just as they must abide by tribal rules in Iraq, Islamists have found it dangerous to take on individual Syrian tribes in the “Jazeera” plateau north of Deir ez-Zour. They may have no love for Assad, but they will not allow fighters from Algeria or Chechenya to rule their tribal lands.....snip~

    The world does not care about Lebanon or Iraq.
    The world cares only for the Palestinian liers !!
    We can surely say that their hatred propaganda wall of lies is working.
    But why Arabs hate them the most, next to Jews ?
    Answer - Arabs know the true face of other Arabs.

    Update: ISIL has taken the city of Arsal.....rolled over the Lebanese Army that was defending in less than 3 days. What say ye?


    ISIS Gains First Ground in Lebanon

    [​IMG]

    Militants associated with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) captured the Lebanese city of Arsal in fighting that began on Friday and continued Monday.

    According to The Telegraph, a Syrian rebel group set up check-points in the border city but have not yet declared the area as part of the caliphate. In addition to 40,000 residents, there are roughly 120,000 refugees living in Arsal.....snip~

    The Empire of Chaos has unleashed madness throughout the region and its spreading. I resent the fact hat I can no longer visit Damascus, a city that I had long wanted to visit. I hate the American elite for that. Thankfully, I got to Beirut in time - just.

    Lucky you. I should have gone to Damascus when I was in Beirut. I regret that now. I wanted to visit the cradle of civilization, Baghdad, too but alas, thanks to the Empire of Chaos, I can no longer do that either.

    Well, I agree with you about the Terrorists ISIS/ISIL.....truly an empire of chaos. Although.....the Invisible Sheik has now just opened up a 3rd front. So he may have stretched himself to thin.

    I expect he will see the support come from al Nusra who is in the Golan Heights. If both were to be hit.....while the Kurds attack in Iraq. Could send this guy back into hiding.

    No.....so you can see the problem with al Nusra extending their reach there. They briefly took the Quneitra border crossing with Israel.



    Syrian al Qaeda reach foothills of Israeli-held Golan.....

    Atop the hill of Tel Ahmar just a few kilometers from Israeli forces on the Golan Heights, Syrian Islamist fighters hoist the al Qaeda flag and praise their mentor Osama bin Laden.

    One of the men, a leader of al Qaeda's Nusra Front, compares their battlefield - a lush agricultural region where dead soldiers lie on the ground near a charred Soviet-era tank - with the struggle their comrades waged years ago in Afghanistan.

    The advances are important not just because they expand rebel control close to the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights and the Jordanian border, but because President Bashar al-Assad's power base in Damascus lies just 40 miles to the north.

    Rebels last year briefly took the Quneitra border crossing with Israel and now control many rural villages in the area.

    "The regime has rung alarm bells, fearing that the fall of Nawa and Quneitra could open an axis towards Damascus," said Brigadier General Assad Zoubi, who headed an air force academy before defecting in early 2012.....snip~

    If the world care about Lebanon, they would have kicked Hezbollah's a$$.
    Nobody cares about the Violent Arabs.
    Lebanon is ( or was ) a beautiful country... but it has many different kinds of Arabs which often fight and kill each other.
    What about Kalb Nasrallah ?? Is he to you a terrorist ?
    Probably not..
    Arabs support Hamas, Hezbollah .
    Arabs support terror !!! Blahhhhhhh

    Maybe the IOF mistook goalposts or sand castles for rocket launchers and a football for a bomb.

    Who cares? They'll just get their ass kicked by Hezbollah.

    - - - Updated - - -

    ISIS doesn't have the technology and manpower to fight Hezbollah, the Lebanese Army, the PLA, and Houthis combined.

    or Hezbollah alone

    Just a small correction. It is Hizbula who brings the war to lebanon.
    It fights for Iran in Syria. It was inevitable the other side will attack Lebanon back.

    Israel has a LONG history of incursions into Lebanon to divert rivers or steal topsoil.. and some years they attempted to just take Lebanese rivers .. Actually they wanted Lebanon all the way to the Litani. Plus a half million Palestinian refugees upset the Lebanese demographic and changed their government.. Hezbollah was the result.

    Hizbula is a lebanese faction fighting in Syria for the last 2 years. Murdering Syrians every single day for the butcher Assad.
    Only a blind person will fail to understand that by doing that Hizbula brings the civil war into Lebanon.
    Now the war got there.
    Every dead Lebanese is the result of Hizbula actions.

    Hezbollah has been fighting on the Lebanese border to keep Syrian factions out... You probably should read the news. They don't want the war spilling over into Lebanon.

    That's good to hear. What did you paint? And did you win at bridge?

    I like to play card games I perfected in jail(hearts and spades) and only have ever painted my now gone home walls, but did love to play pinnocle in the olden days and do love art, original and that hanging in our local art museum walls which I will never afford..... so what do you have for sale and where can I see it in the SE?
