Christian-Druze Town in Lebanon Fights Terrorist Takeover
(New York Times) Christina Goldbaum - A volunteer patrol begins at dusk every night to guard against infiltrators into Hasbayya, a mostly Druze and Christian town six miles from the Lebanese-Israeli border, seeking to prevent Hizbullah fighters from entering the town, which could make it a target of Israeli strikes. "We don't want any strangers or anyone related to Hizbullah here," Ghassan Halabi, the deputy mayor of Hasbayya, told the New York Times last month. "It took us years to build this town and it could all be destroyed within minutes. We can't allow that to happen."
