Hezbollah is Re-arming (RWC)
The UN has issued a report saying that Hezbollah now has 10,000 long-range rockets and 20,000 short range rockets stockpiled in Lebanon, near the Israeli border.
The long range rockets are capable of reaching deep into Israel, as far as 185 miles, perhaps as far as the Negev desert where Israel’s nuclear facility reposes.
The UN report also said that Hezbollah admits to smuggling arms from Syria and Iran into Southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah Chief Nasrallah has been bragging for some time that he has a “surprise weapon” to use against Israel, most likely a surface to air missile for deployment against Israeli fighter jets.
Robert Fiske, the left-wing, anti-Israeli (and anti-American) British journalist Robert Fiske, now posted in Lebanon, says that about 300 young Lebanese men leave Beirut for Iran and training with Hezbollah every month. Fiske would know.
Links to the UN report (or your source for its existence), would really help.
