How Southerners Are Terrorized By Hezbollah

Here is a section of an article on Lebanon in today’s New York Times:

Amid the rubble, Muhammad Hassan Bazzi, 70, his wife, Amina, and his brother Muhammad Najib Bazzi, 67, sat in the shade enjoying the afternoon breeze while sipping sweet tea from small glasses. “We ask when we will get help,” said the elder Mr. Bazzi. “They say be patient. But what is happening? We don’t know.”
“I had everything,” said Mrs. Bazzi. “Now I want a refrigerator, a washing machine, a TV.” Tears came to her eyes.
Soon a shiny black Infiniti emerged along a dirt path cutting through the rubble. The younger Mr. Bazzi saw the car and without hesitation said, “The conversation is over.”
The driver was with Hezbollah. He wanted to know who they were talking to — and what they were saying.
