Tourists explore 'Hezbollahland'

Jihadist guides in south Lebanon draw visitors for 'field trips'

MAROUN EL-RASS, Lebanon - Ten years after Israel pulled out, south Lebanon is solidly controlled by Hezbollah, which is even organizing "jihadist tours" along one of the most tense borders in the Middle East.

On the weekend, about 500 young men and woman, both Christian and Muslim, took part in the latest such field trip intended to gain support for the militant group which is considered one of Israel's fiercest enemies.
