To those of us who have understood all along that Hezbollah was being supplied and manipulated by Syria and Iran with weapons supplied years ago by the Chinese, this information comes as no suprise, I suppose. However, for those of you who might not yet see the total picture, this article from the Strategy Page called "Chinese Anti-Ship Missiles in Lebanon" is a good heads up.
With attacks like this coming from inside Lebanon, it is becoming clear, even to those who would prefer to turn their heads, that Lebanon must take a stand against Hezbollah. I highly recommend that Lebanon do everything within its power as a sovereign nation to secure its infrastructure from use by Hezbollah.
Thanks to Mark for sending this info my way!
... Several years ago, it was reported that C-802s had been shipped to Hizbollah. The C-802 needs a radar to spot the target at long distance, and guide the C-802 to the general vicinity of the target. In this case, the Lebanese government coastal radar apparently was used. ...I suppose the Egyptian freighter that was sunk with a second Silkworm missile was not expecting to become a victim of Hezbollah. Shouldn't there be some condemnation of Hezbollah coming from the Egyptians now?
