Dar Al Hayat: "Hezbollah and Deterring Israel"

Hezbollah gets things done!
The Hezbollah operation in southern Lebanon was the best, most expected and necessary response to Israeli terrorism and brutality in Gaza. This reiterates the fact that Hezbollah has become specialized in deflating Israeli arrogance. This enhances its position on two levels: first, inside Lebanon, where there is a debate on disarming the Resistance and dispensing with it; and, second, on the Arab regional level, by breathing new life into those who believe in the Resistance, in the face of official tendencies toward pacifism . . .

A group of Lebanese officials felt extremely embarrassed yesterday because they could not ignore the fact that the Hezbollah operation is widely popular in Lebanon and the Arab World. On the other hand, questions have been raised about the necessity of taking the risk of exposing Lebanon to the dangers of an Israeli aggression that may destroy the economy. Certainly, the Hezbollah operation has proven once again that the significance of the Lebanese Front remains unchanged. It is the spearhead of Resistance, while neighboring fronts merely suffice with either watching or staging protests.
So next time you feel like some Resistance, try Hezbollah. Two out of three Islamists recommend it . . .
