They are basically fighting against citizens and armed pro-government supporters. Hezbollah effectively gained control of West Beirut, according to CNN. |

Well I guess thats a good overview http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast ... index.html So Hezbollah really seems to use every chance to get a Pro Syrian/Iranian rulership in Lebanon. |

As far is i understand they're fighting another group (Sunni) which is backed heavily by the Saudi's and US (probably Israel aswell). The reason why the Lebanese army isnt doing anything is because it could potentially fuck up the army itself as it consists of Christians/Sunnis/Shia's, whereas Hezbollah are a Shia group and the majority of the Lebanese army are Shia's . . . The government realise they need Hezbollah, they're not going to intervene too quickly. |
