In exchange for Israel stopping their military campaign and leaving South Lebanon, the following organizations committed to preventing Hezbollah from rearming: the US State Department, the European Union, the United Nations, and Lebanon. In recent weeks, France has gone so far as to threaten to open fire on IAF jets trying to monitor Hezbollah activity, because it’s soooo unnecessary. Yeah right:
Four months after Israel launched its onslaught against Hezbollah, the Lebanese guerrillas are back in south Lebanon stronger than ever and armed with more rockets than they had before the conflict, according to Israeli intelligence. During the month-long war, which began on July 12, Hezbollah fired 200 to 250 rockets a day into Israel, killing 43 civilians and terrorising much of the north of the country. “Since the ceasefire, additional rockets, weapons and military equipment have reached Hezbollah,” said an Israeli intelligence officer. “We assume they now have about 20,000 rockets of all ranges — a bit more than they had before July 12.” Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, has confirmed the Israeli estimate. In a recent interview with al-Manar, the Hezbollah television station, he claimed his organisation had restocked its arsenal and now held at least 30,000 rockets, sufficient for five months of war.
The great thing is that this time, the IDF can’t even go in and get them this time because there are 5,000 new human shields with UN uniforms in their way.
