300 Hizbullah Members Fly to Iran Each Month for Military Training

Up to 300 Hizbullah members travel to Iran each month for military training, a report carried by the British daily The Independent said.

 

It said the operation has been running since November of 2006 and that 4,500 Hizbullah members have been sent for three-month sessions of live-fire ammunition and rocket exercises to create a nucleus of Iranian-trained guerrillas for the “next” Israeli-Hizbullah war.

 

“Whether this frightening conflict takes place will depend on (U.S.) President Bush”s behavior,” The Independent said. “If America – or its proxy, Israel – bombs Iran, the response is likely to be swift and will come from the deep underground bunkers that the Hizbullah has been building in the fields and beside the roadways east and south of Jezzine.”
