Os civis e o Hezbollah

O mais interessante (e perverso) é que a utilização dos civis libaneses como escudos humanos só é um recurso à disposição do Hezbollah precisamente porque uma das preocupações de Israel é minimizar o número de baixas civis: U.N. Exec Blames Hezbollah for Deaths

BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) -- The U.N. humanitarian chief accused Hezbollah on Monday of "cowardly blending" in among Lebanese civilians and causing the deaths of hundreds during two weeks of cross-border violence with Israel.

The militant group has built bunkers and tunnels near the Israeli border to shelter weapons and fighters, and its members easily blend in among civilians.

"Consistently, from the Hezbollah heartland, my message was that Hezbollah must stop this cowardly blending ... among women and children," he said. "I heard they were proud because they lost very few fighters and that it was the civilians bearing the brunt of this. I don't think anyone should be proud of having many more children and women dead than armed men."
