Difficult to say how many came there were other regional mobilizations around the country. Definitely over ten thousand.

Nearly 1000 years later we are only just starting to move onto the new story (One bunch of religious fanatics kills another bunch of religious fanatics..... and a load of civilians who live next door)
If lebanese army could drive hizbollah out they would, however as a third of lebanese have the same voices in their head as hizbollah there would be an instant civil war.
Meanwhile the people of israel (whose voice in their head is really shouting it seems)
decides on the strength of a single kidnap to wipe out its most prosperous and democratic neighbours economy and infrastructure.
Why?
Israel calls up 1000s of reservists.
For what? they arent going into lebanon so where then?
They have called up more than enough to hold the fort while their regular forces go north so why would you need the extra troops?
Extra troops that cost the israeli economy dearly each day they are not at work.
Extra munitions for their planes and apache gunships.
My guess is that there will be a terrorist incident in israel next week which will allow the israelis to launch a sweep of the type used in lebanon in 1982 to clear the citizens of palastine from the areas between jerusalem and the israeli settlements.
Why not create a buffer zone round jerusalem while the political cost is lower than if you just did it off the bat in the middle of peacetime.
(something israel has a history of doing)
Please feel free to criticize my analysis, comments welcomed
salaam shalom
Do you really believe that
