hezbollah flagThe U.S. government imposed sanctions on Tuesday on three leaders of the militant group Hezbollah and a businessman in Lebanon, saying they are key players in the group’s military operations in Syria.

The U.S. Treasury Department said in a statement that Mustafa Badr Al Din, Ibrahim Aqil, and Fu’ad Shukr, military officials within Hezbollah, had coordinated or participated in the group’s military support for the government of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria’s ongoing civil war.

A fourth individual, a businessman in Lebanon named Abd Al Nur Shalan, was sanctioned for procuring weapons for Hezbollah and shipping them to Syria.

      SO, Michael … Ask when is Nastyrallah going to have a ‘quiet’ word to suppliers of refugee camps about ADDING starving out-of-work Lebanese to the lists of recipients – especially in Tripoli … INDEED, Hezzy could even pull a ‘fast popularity run’ around Hariri who had promised to rebuild homes lost to the Army battles or the previous Tribal battles over the past 4 years in Tripoli; and yet THAT has not happened either …. OR really ‘Ace’ Mikati who is ‘Chief’ of Tripoli Tribes, but is busy with buying up England most of the time.
      Nasty might even gain a few votes – whenever they allow another election.
      My personal view on it by now, OF COURSE, is that they ALL wait for Christians to die, so they can simply take over the properties without any legal objections from the owners. Less obvious than Israeli methods perhaps. Of course, it will be said that it’s not because they are Christian that they have been placed in such dire circumstances … and I’d believe it’s rather because they are only females, but really, such a dangerous combination to ‘be’.

    In this case sanctions are laughable. A drone strike, however would get their attention.
