Lebanon & Israel - Schuaeb - 07-29-2006
Nearly 40% peoples in Lebanon are christians & most of them are live in North of Lebanon & they beleive Hezbollah is highly regarded as a legitimate resistance movement. Even 74 percent of Lebanese Christians viewed Hezbollah as a resistance organization
Israel made the request after it began its air assault on Hezbollah targets. The weapons, including five-tonne laser-guided bombs.
The disclosure is likely to anger Arab governments because of the appearance that the United States is actively aiding Israel at such a sensitive time.
Precision-guided missiles are playing a key part in Israel's military strategy, which has included attempts to destroy bunkers it says are used by Hezbollah.
Israel is one of the LARGEST CUSTOMER for US armaments.
It also receives several billion dollars a year in direct and indirect aid from Washington.
