"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Four Hezbollah fighters were also killed Tuesday in the southern border village of Dhayra and two Syrian civilians, including a shepherd, were killed Wednesday in Israeli shelling on al-Wazzani and the outskirts of al-Khiam.
