(Beirut) On the 2nd of August 2014, the Lebanese army arrested a Al-Nusra Front commander trying to enter Lebanon from Syria on a spot of R&R. I don't think they realised just what they had got themselves into by incurring the wrath of Islamic terrorists who are used to getting their way. In revenge, hoards of Islamic terrorists converged on the town of Arsal from Syria in which to teach the Lebanese a lesson. I mean, how dare anybody lay a hand on a blood thirsty murderer for Allah? The Lebanese in response sent the army in. After 5 days of fighting, a truce was organised and everybody went back to doing what they did before the 2nd of August.
However, the terrorists weren't happy. You see, by sending in the army, the Al-Nusra Front received a good kicking and they in turn asked ISIS for a helping hand, and during the fighting, senior ISIS commander Abu Hasan al-Homsi was killed. Add the fact that 100 terrorists (with 17 taken captive) were killed at the cost of 20 soldiers and you can see why ISIS wasn't happy at such heavy losses on a front they really don't want to open up.
So what have they done? Why they have resorted to terrorism in which to send the message to Lebanon that we will murder your soldiers one by one until we get them back. Which is why they have started beheading the captives (10 army and 17 police) in a slow drawn out affair in which to terrorise the populace to pressure the government to release the Syrian terrorists.
Yesterday, ISIS aired the video of the beheading of the second Lebanese captive, Abbas Medlej. This comes a few days after they returned the decapitated body of Lebanese soldier Sgt Sayyed.
The thing to note here is that the terrorists are sending the message that "We will leave you alone if you leave us alone". However, that rule is overruled when we want to do something, and if you do fight us, we will terrorise you until you stop. Then we will leave you alone until the next time. And the media refers to these people as... militants.
