Du spielst auf die Massaker von Sabra und Shatilla im Libanon an?

The Sabra and Shatila massacre was the slaughter of between 762 and 3,500 civilians, mostly Palestinians and Lebanese Shiites, by a Lebanese Christian militia in the Sabra and Shatila Palestinian refugee camps in Beirut, Lebanon from approximately 6:00 pm 16 September to 8:00 am 18 September 1982.[3]
...
The Israel Defense Forces surrounded the camps and at the Phalangists' request,[9] fired illuminating flares at night.[10][11] In 1982, a UN commission chaired by Sean MacBride concluded that Israel bore responsibility for the violence.[12] In 1983, the Israeli Kahan Commission, appointed to investigate the incident, found that Israeli military personnel, aware that a massacre was in progress, had failed to take serious steps to stop it. Thus Israel was indirectly responsible, while Ariel Sharon, then Defense Minister, bore personal responsibility, forcing him to resign.[13]

Nein. Ich glaube nicht, dass die syrische Armee diesen Ort freiwillig den Rebellen übergeben hat, damit diese dann Massaker an der Zivilbevölkerung verüben können. In ähnlichen Konstellationen hat man sich zuvor wiederholt von Flugplätzen und Depots trennen müssen. Ich glaube eher, dass den dort stationierten syrischen Truppen auch hier das Interesse fehlte, sich von 1500(!) Rebellen in dem Ort einkesseln zu lassen. Die interessante Frage ist eher, warum die Rebellen so scharf auf diese kleine Ortschaft sind, wo sie doch traditionell gar nicht sunnitisch ist.

Syria army attacks militants in Ma’loula Christian village
Mon Sep 9, 2013 4:16PM GMT

Syrian troops have launched an attack on hills overlooking the Christian-majority village of Ma’loula, two days after militant groups captured parts of the ancient village.

Opposition sources say government forces attacked the hills around Ma'loula village early on Monday under the cover of heavy shelling.

Ma'loula is reported to be almost empty after most of its residents fled following the arrival of the foreign-backed militants last week. According to a resident, who left the area in the past days, only around 50 people remain there.

Militants from the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front and the Qalamun Liberation Front are reported to be in control of some parts of the historic village, which is located about 70 kilometers northeast of Damascus.
