Hezbollah Pictures
These are the photos that damn Hezbollah for fighting as, and among civilians in contravention of the 
rules of war.
Sharp eyed observers will note this is the same fire that was behind the Hezbollah terrorist who I pretended was French actor Jean Reno. (The two do look a lot alike). This one has a stainless steel AKM 74under sidefolder with a scope. I didn't even know they made them in stainless. The scope looks useless and cheap and zeroed at about 15 yards to me.
Hezbollah fighters manning and swarming around a Russian ZU 23-2 twin anti-aircraft automatic canon (23mm) mounted on a truck I can't identify. Notice the lack of uniforms and that the truck with the anti aircraft weapon seems to be parked near an apartment building.
Closer up on the crew of the anti-aricraft cannon. If some of them got killed and their survivng buddies took away the truck and the weapons, would they be poor innocent Lebanese civilians in the count? Does anyone out there believe either the Lebanese or Hezbollah is keeping an honest count of the casualties?
The truck with the anti-aircraft cannon from the front where people with more knowledge than I have might figure out what kind of truck it is. Pretty clearly diesel but that's about as far as I can go.
Those buildings behind the truck are different apartment buildings than shown in the other photos. These guys are in the center of a residential area, armed but without uniforms. And when Israeli pilots put a missle on the truck, it's Israel's war crime for shooting at or near civilians.
This is also the same cannon Nathan Filion (Mal) on Firefly fires during the Serenity Valley battle, but he was standing up in a sort of over the shoulder hard harness rather than sitting down. It is probably as irritating as a fly to the pilots of attacking jets because, hand cranked, it can't track and lead the jets properly. Or so Doug Sundseth says.
Told you.
