Operation : Radwan

Syria despite all what is said , despite all this psychological war in the media ,at least in our own official media made another diplomatic political Victory in Paris , no one can deny it except our official regime media that considers that the Union for the Mediterranean was Mubarak's brain child.

And Hezbollah made another victory ,another political victory by the exchange of the POWs.

At this moment I am watching Al Jazeera live broadcast online to watch this exchange.

Early in the morning Samir El-Kuntar and others pows including the remaining of Hezbollah fighters began their trip to home ,to Lebanon.

Samir left the Hadarim prison in central Israel after spending many many years in Israel

Samar ,the only survivor of the Nahahria operation in which Samir was arrested and convicted in the murder of her family ,said that she was okay with the exchange if it would bring the Israeli POWs in Lebanon despite she stood against his release in the previous years. Emad was supposed to stay in jail for 542 years !!?There will be a big celebration today in Beirut , a big reception for Kuntar and his released friends , Hassan Nasrallah will say a speech in this occasion.

Strangely or ironically the operation of exchanging the POWs is called Operation Radwan ; in reference to late Imad Mughniyeh.One thought that Hezbollah will start a war against Israel for the Haj Radwan's assassination but instead they won an important battle against Israel. A diplomatic battle. Believe me Olmert did not want to do what he had done. Now officially Lebanon is the only country that closed its POWs officially without Peace agreement with Israel, this did not change anything from the region , Hezbollah is still considering Israel a cancer that should be removed .

The official media in Egypt does not give this very important event its deserved attention , after all this is Hezbollah supported by Iran , this is Hezbollah who does not give a damn to Egypt as a state , it is ironic that this exchange operation happened without any involvement of Egypt ,the country with normal relations in Israel, it was a German involvement !!

The exchange process started with the sad beginning for the Israelis , the Israeli party received the dead bodies of the two Israeli Captured soldiers in which Israel used their capture to justify July war 2006.

The father of one of the two captured soldiers said that it would be better for Hezbollah not to send his son's dead body , I feel his pain , it is just like the pain of the families of the Egyptian POWs.

I think Hezbollah won more because he exchanged dead POWs with alive persons.In fact Israel did not know the dark fate of its soldiers till the last moment.

The mother of Kuntar is waiting for him ,she is very very happy and owed it to Hezbollah. It is worth to say that Kuntar is not a Shiite , he is a Druze and he is more socialist.

By the way Samir Kuntar and his friends will come in Lebanon wearing military suites ,yes they will be received as military personals.

Tomorrow there will be very big celebration in Beirut, the free POWs will be transferred to Beirut in a big parade, Soliman ,Nasrallah and Kuntar will speak.

The coverage is not over but it is just began
