Even before july’s 2006 war many christians were forbidden to go to their lands and harvest the olives, simply because HA used the christian lands to launch their famous katyoushia … the following happens: a HA motorcyclist comes to Ainebel, Debel and other towns to launch katioshyas from their hidden bases b/w trees and on the border of christian towns, then he drives back.

Even though HA used christian towns to launch their rockets despite the villagers discomfort and complaints. (The villagers were angry, they told HA’s fighters: you fire your rockets and run away, but later we get bombarded by the israeli. HA’s answer was:” shut up go inside sakir ni3ak…) but the disaster was in the last 2 days of the war, when HA in great numbers fired from Christian areas and Israel responded in a vigorous way.

But Gebran Bassil at that time called the Southern Christians as liars, appeared on the tv and said that there statements about getting hit by the IDF and HA using their land and roofs to fire rockets were false.
