Hezbullah should be vewy vewy scared
A car bomb went off at rush hour on Thursday afternoon in Hezbullah's southern Beirut stronghold. Five people have been killed, at least 20 injured.Television footage showed the twisted and blackened remains of several cars being doused with hoses by emergency services. The blast also tore off the facades of several nearby buildings.
About 20 people were wounded, the witness said.
The Lebanese capital has been hit by a series of bombs in recent months, including one last week which killed a former minister and political adversary of Hezbollah.Arutz Sheva adds:
The BBC says the bomb is not one of the biggest of the recent incidents, but its impact was considerable because it was detonated during rush-hour.
Hezbollah's al-Manar TV station said the blast destroyed part of a facade of a building in a densely populated area of Haret Hreik district.
The attack is the latest in a string of bombings in southern Beirut that reflect Shiite-Sunni hatred exacerbated by the Syrian civil war, in which Hezbollah has taken an active part beside Bashar Assad's government forces.It sounds like we're going back to the days of the Lebanese civil war.
