Hizbullah has regrouped and rearmed with missiles.
Way to go UNIFIL. You've accomplished much in your time. Like giving Hizbullah time to rearm with more missiles that can reach deeper into Israel.
And what is UNIFIL doing about it? *crickets*
Oh wait, it's written a report.
Hizbullah has succeeded in rearming itself and has obtained missiles with a range of 250 km., a UN report on the implementation of UN Resolution 1701 stated. Such missiles would be capable of striking areas south of Tel Aviv.No UN report is complete without bashing Israel. Never mind that those overflights would not be required had UNIFIL been doing its job and stopping Hizbullah from rearming. Indeed, the UN only became aware of the rearmament because of Israel's intel. It has done nothing to stop it.
Weapons smuggling from Syria into Lebanon, in violation of 1701, is continuing as well.
According to the report, which was quoted by Army Radio, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon called the continued arms smuggling "grave."
The report also noted that according to information provided by Israel, Hizbullah was rearming itself south of the Litani River, and that given this development, UNIFIL forces and the Lebanese army were increasing their efforts to patrol the area.
Further, Israeli intelligence passed on to the UN stated that the number of land-to-sea missiles in Hizbullah's stockpile has tripled.
The report also criticized Israel for not relaying details of its cluster bombing campaign during the Second Lebanon War, and for not ending continued IAF overflights in Lebanese airspace.
If you want a reason to understand why another war is coming to Lebanon, this is it.
Hat Tip: joem at discarded lies.
