Just one example of why Hezbollah did not win

Haaretz has an article entitled, "In south Lebanon village, Sunnis express disdain for Hezbollah". The article profiles the village of Marwaheen, where 23 people were killed in a 15 July Israeli strike after these civilians were turned away by the UN seeking refuge.

Due to fighting, the bodies were only recently buried. Hezbollah wanted all 23 coffins to be adorn with the Hezbollah flag, but a fight broke out between Sunnis and the Hezbollah flag flew on 8 of the 23 coffins (presumably Hezbollah terrorists). The other 17 coffins adorned the Lebanese flag.

Even more striking is this statement from Wassim Abdallah.

"Nobody knew they were using our houses to store weapons. We were surprised to find them after the war.... How could they keep weapons in the middle of all these civilian houses?"

Now, who violated the Geneva Convention?

The UN for not offering refuge to these civilians 27 civilians of which 23 later died? But who can blame the UN, especially if at least 8 of "civilian" were Hezbollah.

Hezbollah for storing and staging weapons at civilian homes?

Or,

Israel for destroying Hezbollah a convoy with at least 8 Hezbollah fighters in it?

War is brutle. War is violent. If an enemy stores and fights from civilian structures or fights among civilians, the Geneva Convention is very clear. These civilian and their structures are no longer protected. While the UN will continue to declare Israel violated the Geneva Convention, it obviously will not examine itself; however, civilians in Southern Lebanon are severely questioning themselves and their tacit support for Hezbollah despite its post-war aid.

This saga is one more example of why Hezbollah did not win the war. It will never again enjoy the freedom and support it had prior to 12 July to store arms, weapons, and rockets in civilian neighborhoods. It will never again enjoy the tacit support of the civilian population in South Lebanon now that they see the result of their support. Israel was and still is an enemy to Lebanon. That has not changed. However, Lebanese are recognizing a new enemy, and it is Hezbollah.
