Loyola on Lebanon

Last summer the world watched in shock as Hezbollah initiated a deadly war with Israel. With the aftershocks of that conflict still rippling throughout the region, it appears Lebanon could be in for another bloody summer.

In an article today on National Review Online, FDD Visiting Fellow Mario Loyola argues that:

  • The Lebanese army is overburdened and understaffed, and must re-focus its efforts on routing out Hezbollah with the help of the international community.
  • Most of the suicide bombers — including those from Fatah al-Islam — belong to al-Qaeda sleeper cells operating outside of the refugee camps.
  • If approved by the U.N. Security Council, an expanded UNIFIL force would stop the flow of foreign fighters coming in from Syria.
