Hizbullah: Missile supply back to 100%
2006-11-25
Hizbullah has been successful in restocking their missile supply after last summer's war with Israel, diplomatic sources in Beirut told Time magazine Friday.

According to the report, Hizbullah currently has an estimated 20,000 short-range rockets. The report contradicted an Israeli estimate in which Hizbullah was said to have acquired only half the number of rockets that they had before the war.

During the war with Israel, Hizbullah fired over 3,000 rockets.

Sources in Saudi Arabia claimed that Iran and Syria were behind the rearmament, supplying the guerilla organization with enough ammo to return to its former strength. "The arms pipeline from Iran through Syria started to function even during the war," one source in Beirut said.

Officials in Iran and Syria continued to deny the claim that they provided Hizbullah with arms.
It was magik. Y'know, djinns.

"Sources in Saudi Arabia claimed that Iran and Syria were behind the rearmament"

We Saudi's, love the state of Israel. We Saudi's, would never propose a two state solution.  We Saudi's, think that Israel should be recognized as a legitimate state by all Muslim nations.  In conclusion, we Saudi's condemn Iran and Syria for promoting anti-Israeli propaganda and by the grace of allah, we refused to be used as a pipeline for terrorism.

#8  Not sure gromgoru.  The US does have the habit of trying to keep the IDF on a short leash, like in GW1, when Sammy was slamming SCUDS into Israel, and she was not allowed to defend herself.  Too bad Israel was not allowed to do what she needed to do to take out the threat.  Now we have gone 15 years since GW1 and everyone is backed into a corner, both US and Israel.

#6  The missiles are easy. The multimillion dollar bunkers, command centers and infrastructure took years to build, and it is all shot to hell. And that doesn't even include all of their regular buildings in the Hezbollah side of Beirut.

#2  CF---The IDF may have the intelligence, but will they be allowed to do something with it by the Olmert govt? The IDF plan was hosed by Olmert. People sitting there in northern Israel and taking barrages of Hizb'Allah rockets is insane. Is that what Olmert and Co have planned for the sequel?

#1  You can thank the United Nations for operational support -- or at least for looking the other way while keeping the eviiiil jooooos at bay.

Hopefully the IDF overflights the UN has been bitching about so much have provided usefull information about where these are stockpiled.
