When the other guy doesn't play by the rules


Pictures show Hezbollah operating in civilian areas

Hezbollah is using concern for innocents as a weapon.

The images include one of a group of men and youths preparing to fire an anti-aircraft gun metres from an apartment block with sheets hanging out on a balcony to dry.

Others show a militant with AK47 rifle guarding no-go zones after Israeli blitzes.

Another depicts the remnants of a Hezbollah Katyusha rocket in the middle of a residential block blown up in an Israeli air attack.

The Melbourne man who smuggled the shots out of Beirut and did not wish to be named said he was less than 400m from the block when it was obliterated.

"Hezbollah came in to launch their rockets, then within minutes the area was blasted by Israeli jets," he said.

"Until the Hezbollah fighters arrived, it had not been touched by the Israelis. Then it was totally devastated.

One front of the War on Terror is public relations. The West is not doing so hot there.

Just like the "Iraqi insurgency," Hezbollah is not using the "rules of war." It's time to stop pretending that they do.
