JERUSALEM (AL-QUDS) - "Israel's" military has determined that Hizbullah, despite the expanded presence of the United Nations, rebuilt much or most of its force in southern Lebanon.
Officials said military intelligence has monitored Hizbullah movements south of Lebanon`s Litani River and near the border with "Israel". They said Hizbullah has deployed hundreds of operatives and restored weapons arsenals and bunkers within a short distance of positions of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon.
"Hizbullah continues to undergo rehabilitation, from a military and a social perspective," military intelligence`s research chief Brig. Gen. Yossi Baidatz said. "It is acquiring a large number of weapons from Iran and Syria."
In a briefing on Monday, Baidatz told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that UNIFIL forces have not hampered the Hizbullah rearmament effort. He said Hizbullah operatives, disguised as civilians, have harassed UNIFIL operations and patrols.
