Hizbullah turns its guns on Lebanese citizens. AGAIN

That’s twice, just THIS YEAR, counting the assault on Beirut in May, and the attack on the Druze stronghold in the mountains. Not to mention the kidnapping of vacationers in Mount Sannine. That’s some resistance against Israel. And the few good people left in Lebanon suffer for it. This is a longer post because I was waiting for more information to be released by the Lebanese Army.

Helicopter attack: 3 more Hezbollah gunmen opened fire

Beirut – Military investigation into the shooting at a Lebanese army helicopter was likely to expand the hypothesis that there was more than one person involved in the attack based on testimony by co-pilot Mahmoud Abboud

and other witnesses, the daily al Liwaa reported Tuesday. It said military investigators have demanded that Hezbollah turn over three other men allegedly involved in Thursday’s helicopter shooting attack which killed airman Samer Hanna in Sujud, south Lebanon. Hezbollah on Friday turned over one suspect to the judiciary saying he was the person who opened fire at the helicopter Hanna was flying over Sujud hills. Meanwhile, LBC television said Hezbollah is positively responding to the investigators’ demands, adding that preliminary probe showed that there was no motive behind the attack. It said the man who opened fire did so because he was suffering from tension as did the rest of his comrades who thought they faced an Israeli military airdrop. LBC said the helicopter was hit by three bullets, one of which penetrated the windshield and killed Hanna.

Apparently the dumbasses Hizbullah recruits don’t know the difference between a Lebanese Army Chopper and an Israeli one. Oh wait, Hizbullah is an Iranian tool, they don’t care. Here is what I originally found in the media last week.

Hezbollah shoots at Lebanese Army helicopter, kills officer

South Lebanon – A Lebanese airman was killed Thursday when the military helicopter he was flying over Sojod hills in south Lebanon came under gunfire attack from Hezbollah gunmen.

Hezbollah didn’t comment on the incident initially, but later attempted to justify taking the life of a true Lebanese patriot: a Hezbollah source said the helicopter was shot down “because it crossed red lines that Hezbollah had warned the Defense Ministry and army command” not to cross.

The helicopter was conducting a training mission over the southern village of Sojod when it came under fire and was forced to make an emergency landing. The Telal Sojod area lies some 20 kilometers (12 miles) north of the Israeli border.

Details about the incident were sketchy and the military sealed off the area, but an army statement said the helicopter was on a training mission when it came under fire from armed elements and was forced down in the highlands of the Iqlim al Tuffah province.

The statement said 1st Lt. Samer Hanna, a navigator, was killed and that the aircraft was damaged. No one else in the crew was hurt and the army was investigating, it added. A subsequent report stated that several crew members were also wounded.

Cleric blames Israel

Deputy President of the Higher Islamic Shia Council Sheikh Abdul Amir Qabalan condemned the attack on a military helicopter on Thursday.

Qabalan said he feared the attack, which killed a Lebanese army officer, was committed by “infiltrators” working on behalf of Israel.

He said that the army needed to investigate the incident and bring those responsible to justice, as soon as possible.

Hezbollah sources stated that the militia fighters said they shot at the military helicopter after monitoring video cameras, and were aiming to warn the pilot, but claim they did not mean to kill anyone.

The sources also said that the Resistance considered the region very sensitive, and Hezbollah leaders have already stressed the importance of the location because it contained the Resistance’s telecommunications apparatus.

This is not the first time Hezbollah has killed fellow Lebanese over their sacred telecommunication infrastructure.

Of course!! Blame the joos!! This is obviously a conspiracy hatched by those damned pesky JOOS! Just like Mel Gibson, Hitler, and Mahmoud I’mADamnNutJob always say!!!! They can’t all be wrong! Can they?
