Israeli Military Officials Warn of Hizbullah Move on Border
Senior Israeli army officials are highly concerned about the possibility of a serious incident on the Lebanese border in the near future, Israeli daily Haaretz reported Monday.
It said tensions with Hizbullah have risen lately, especially since one of the party”s alleged arms depots blew up almost two weeks ago in Khirbet Selm. In response, defense officials have held several high-level consultations on the situation.
However, Israeli army officials believe Hizbullah will most likely try to strike Israeli targets abroad rather than attacking the Jewish state from the southern Lebanese border, according to Haaretz.
Senior military officers believe that Hizbullah has fully rebuilt its network of bunkers and arms stockpiles in south Lebanon, but has located them almost entirely inside Shiite villages rather than in open areas, the newspaper said.
