A nice followup to the Hezbollah arms cache that exploded last month:

Three years after Israel fought a bloody war in Lebanon against Hezbollah, there are fears that hostilities could erupt again -- this time with the militant group better armed than ever... Hezbollah has up to 40,000 rockets and is training its forces to use ground-to-ground missiles capable of hitting Tel Aviv, and anti-aircraft missiles that could challenge Israel's dominance of the skies over Lebanon. Brigadier-General Alon Friedman, the deputy head of the Israeli Northern Command, told The Times from his headquarters overlooking the Israeli-Lebanese border that the peace of the past three years could "explode at any minute".

His concerns were due partly to threats from Hezbollah's leadership. Last month Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, warned that if the southern suburbs of Beirut were bombed as they were in the last war, he would strike back against Tel Aviv, the largest Israeli city. "We have changed the equation that had existed previously," he said. "Now the southern suburbs versus Tel Aviv, and not Beirut versus Tel Aviv."

Of course these videos and quotes won't matter once Lebanon III gets underway and Hezbollah's left-leaning international friends go to work blaming Israel (cf. UNRWA's brazen claim during Cast Lead that there was a magical super-secret ceasefire which Israel "obviously" violated):

Hezbollah has extended its international reach by establishing contacts with left-leaning, environmental and peace groups opposed to U.S.-led economic globalization, analysts and people tied to the group say. The Lebanese Shiite Muslim militant organization and political party, which is designated as a terrorist group by the United States, has participated through a front organization in dozens of gatherings where attendees criticized U.S. foreign policy and global financial institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The aim, analysts say, is to rally support for armed opposition to Israel among groups that regard the West's policies as a threat to developing countries and to the environment.

Almost difficult to believe that the watered down UN sanctions passed in the context of international sympathy have failed to stop arms smuggling. No worries. I'm sure that Britain's eagerness to engage Hezbollah's "political wing" will teach them a lesson!
