Hizbullah Official Denies Members Policing Border to Prevent Rocket Attack

W300

A Hizbullah official in south Lebanon said the party was on full alert in case of any Israeli attack in light of the aggression on the Gaza Strip, but denied fighters were policing the border to prevent attacks on the Jewish state.

"This is a job for the (Lebanese) army and United Nations peacekeepers, not Hizbullah," the official told the Associated Press.

The U.S. security think tank Stratfor said in a report this week that "with Hizbullah uncertain how the Israel-Hamas battle will play out, the group appears to be taking a cautious approach.”

The Texas-based intelligence analysis firm also said it has received indication that Hizbullah has deployed operatives in plainclothes along the border with Israel to monitor the situation and prevent radical Palestinian groups from firing rockets into northern Israel, which would potentially force Hizbullah into a fight if Israel responded.

The Lebanese army said on Monday it dismantled two rockets in southern Lebanon, which were set up to be fired against Israel.

Though the Israeli-Lebanese border has been largely quiet in recent years, several rockets were fired from the south last year.

partition? never, Lebanon belongs to all of us, I would recommend one way tickets to iran to their leaders because I know that the shia people are sick of all this nonsense, just like they were sick of all that nonsense when the palestinians held them hostages a few decades ago.

If they are stone aged, perhaps we could send them to our caves? It's cheaper than airline tickets to Iran.
