Syrian Rebels Are Cutting Off the Heads of Hezbollah Fighters

Desperate to slow that tide, Syrian rebels are trying a brutal new tactic to dissuade Hezbollah militants from crossing the border: They’re decapitating captured fighters and sending the heads back home to Lebanon, according to several reports and pictures posted on various sites.

One Israeli Facebook page called “News In SOS” quoted and translated Syrian rebel sources late last month saying they sent 40 Hezbollah fighters’ beheaded bodies to Beirut, and graphic photos of the heads have been popping up on some of the rebels’ Facebook and Twitter pages (like here and here and here).

Also late last month, Raad Hammadi, commander of the Syrian rebel group Bilal al-Habashi Battalion, told the Egyptian newspaper Al-Akhbar that he would spare no supporter of Hezbollah, and showed footage of three beheaded corpses he claimed belonged to Hezbollah members.

The moment one creates contiguous countries based upon ethnicity, instead of an array of civil wars you'll have wars between nations. That's an improvement, right?

Aw, those poor Hezbollah “militants” — they’re ordered to Syria by their Iranian masters, with orders to help make that country safe for religious tolerance in much the same way they’ve done that in Lebanon, and this is the thanks they get.

Thanks Eleutheria5.

The respect in which they've done the most damage has been with regard to hunter-gatherer and pastoral nomads. A substantial degree of the desertification of the Sahel has been due to forced sedentism of nomadic tribes.

A guy’d be hard pressed to find a more deserving bunch of baby raping, mass murdering, serial killing sociopaths to serve as the beheaded.

PS. Anyone else notice that the method of cutting off human heads is exactly the same as the scumbags use to cut off the heads of the animals they sacrifice to the demon they worship?

I wonder if a regular or the skip tooth chain for a saw would work better. Someone, somewhere must have figured it out.

As long as they’re going about the business of war and cutting each others heads off, why should I care?

I like your idea, but might I suggest one little tweak?

In the areas the jihadis hail from, water isn't exactly as abundant as one might like.

I think filling their little compound with fire might be a more economical approach.
