Ignore the newspapers and head over to Pajamas Media for the real news, especially first hand reports of what’s really happening in the streets there.
An American teacher living in the central Beirut neighborhood of Koreitem, where parliamentary majority leader Saad Hariri’s compound is located, asks, “You would think that they would have put up barricades on the streets to try to stop Hezbollah from entering? But it didn’t look like they did. Some guys on one side kept firing in the air, and some guys on the other side did the same thing. Then, there was a big burst of gunfire from one side, and then everything was Hezbollah’s. It was really weird. Hariri didn’t even put up a fight.”
