  Christians Fleeing Lebanon Denounce Hezbollah

  By SABRINA TAVERNISE
  TYRE, Lebanon, July 27 — The refugees from southern Lebanon spilled out of packed cars into the dark street here Thursday evening, gulping bottles of ****r and squinting in the glare of the headlights to find family members and friends. Many had not eaten in days. Most had not had clean drinking ****r for some time. There were wounded swathed in makeshift dressings, and a baby just 16 days old.
  But for some of the Christians who had made it out in this convoy, it was not just privations they wanted to talk about, but their ordeal at the hands of Hezbollah — a contrast to the Shiites, who make up a vast majority of the population in southern Lebanon and broadly support the militia.
  “Hezbollah came to Ain Ebel to shoot its rockets,” said Fayad Hanna Amar, a young Christian man, referring to his village. “They are shooting from between our houses.”
  “Please,’’ he added, “write that in your newspaper.”
  The evacuation — more than 100 cars that followed an International Committee for the Red Cross rescue convoy to Tyre — included Lebanese from several Christian villages. In past wars, Christian militias were close to Israelis, and animosity between Christians and Shiites lingers.
  Throngs of refugees are now common in this southern coastal town, the gateway to the war that is booming just miles away. The United Nations has estimated that 700,000 Lebanese, mostly from the southern third of the country, have been displaced by the war.
  But thousands of people have been left behind, residents and the Red Cross say.
  What has prevented many from fleeing is a critical shortage of fuel. Roland Huguenin-Benjamin, a spokesman for the Red Cross who accompanied the convoy to Tyre, said Red Cross officials had offered to lead out any people who wanted to drive behind, but many did not have enough gasoline for the trip.
  Those who did get out were visibly upset. Some carried sick children. A number broke down it tears when they emerged from their cars here.
  “People are dying under bombs and crushed under houses,” Nahab Aman said, sobbing and hugging her young son. “We’re not dogs! Why aren’t they taking the people out?”
  Many Christians from Ramesh and Ain Ebel considered Hezbollah’s fighting methods as much of an outrage as the Israeli strikes. Mr. Amar said Hezbollah fighters in groups of two and three had come into Ain Ebel, less than a mile from Bint Jbail, where most of the fighting has occurred. They were using it as a base to shoot rockets, he said, and the Israelis fired back.
  One woman, who would not give her name because she had a government job and feared retribution, said Hezbollah fighters had killed a man who was trying to leave Bint Jbail.
  “This is what’s happening, but no one wants to say it” for fear of Hezbollah, she said.
  American citizens remain in some southern villages. Mohamed Elreda, a father of three from New Jersey, was visiting relatives in Yaroun with his family when two missiles narrowly missed his car, while he was parking it in front of his family’s house. His 16-year-old son Ali was sprayed with shrapnel and is now in a hospital in Tyre.
  “I have never seen anything like this in my life,” said Mr. Elreda, who arrived here on Thursday morning. “They see civilians, they bomb them,” he said, referring to the Israelis.
  “We had to move underground like raccoons.”
  He said a person affiliated with the United States Embassy arrived in Yaroun and shouted for everyone to join a convoy that the Israelis had promised safe passage.
  He left in such haste, he said, that he had pulled on his wife’s sweatpants (they had a pink stripe running down the length of each leg). His son’s blood still stained his shoes.
  He said Yaroun had been without electricity and clean ****r for more than a week, and he had stirred dirty clothes in a pail of ****r and bleach to make bandages for his son’s wounds.
  The village is largely Christian, but has Muslim pockets, and Mr. Elreda said he walked at night among houses to the Christian section, where a friend risked his life to drive his son to Tyre, while Mr. Elreda stayed with the rest of the family.
  On Thursday he joined his son at the hospital.
  “He’s my son,” he said, standing at the foot of the boy’s bed. “I just can’t see him like this.”

  A muslim man that escaped from the south with his two little children was telling a reporter how hizballlah fighters would fire their rockets from the back of his house and in between house with families in them and wouldn’t let them leave. Once the red cross and a tv crew got in they were able to escape.

  I m from ainebel, the situation is real bad.
  People are being used as human shields for hizbullah to launch rockets.
  No one dares to stop them, they are threatening the citizens if they argue with them.
  Hizbullah Guerillas are holding rockets and launching them and then hide between the houses or in the bushes.
  The people dont have food, for example my uncle lost around 7kg. all they have is to get one small meal a day, rgheef khibiz, and 2, 3 cups of water.

  Around 100 houses got damaged, wal ati a3zam.

  I can write 10000lines about the bad situation of Ainebel and how Hizbullah and Israel are causing the village to be damaged. But we can do nothing but pray.

  May the LAdy of Ain Ebel protect the people, and we will be back to rebuild our lovely town as soon as it is free from Hizbullah and Israel.

  Allah Kbir

  god this is so awful! Is it completely impossible for Christians and willing Muslims in Beirut to protest this loudly and clearly? To Raise signs and banners calling on Hizbullah to not infiltrate towns and villages and not to deliberately launch rockets from in-between homes? Is the population scared that if they protest now in Beirut then Hizbullah would take revenge in the south? Is it really likely that Hizbullah would dare to do it? Is the Christian population scared that no Muslims would join their protest and that they’d be pushed-out and look like lone traitors?
