Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah confirmed Friday that one of the members of his organization arrested in Egypt this week had been attempting to smuggle arms into the Gaza Strip.Iran is Hamas and Hizbullah's biggest backer, and they're pulling the strings across the region using Syria as a base of operations and safe haven. They are attempting to resupply Hamas during the latest hudna, and when Hamas decides that it has sufficiently resupplied, they will once again increase the numbers of attacks on Israel. It is inevitable.
Nasrallah also criticized Egypt's government for its neglect to arrange an Arab upheaval against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government following a number of controversial speeches made by Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman.
On Thursday Egypt confirmed reports that it had arrested 49 alleged Hizbullah operatives and is currently investigating suspicions that they had been planning to commit terror attacks in the country.
The prosecution in Cairo announced that authorities received intelligence the detainees were planning attacks, and that they had scouted points along the Suez Canal and Egypt's border with Gaza.
Nasrallah said one of the detainees was a Lebanese Hizbullah operative smuggling arms to Gaza. "That is the only truth in the entire affair. Our man was smuggling arms to the Strip, but the rest of the accusations about terror attacks in Egypt are one big lie," he said in a televised address.

Hizbullah Admits Smuggling Weapons Into Gaza
Hamas and Hizbullah have long been tied together in their joint struggle to destroy Israel. The revelation that Hizbullah was attempting to smuggle weapons into Gaza shouldn't surprise anyone, but it does show the increasing lengths to which the proxies of Iran are willing to go to carry out their jihad against Israel.
