Israel Says it Hit Nearly '100 Hizbullah' Arms Convoys in 5 Years
[AnNahar] Israel's military army has carried out nearly 100 strikes in the past five years on convoys carrying weapons to Hizbullah... Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistanceand purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... and other krazed killer groups in Syria and elsewhere, an Israeli general said Thursday. Former air force commander Amir Eshel told Haaretz newspaper that "since 2012, I'm talking about many dozens of strikes... the number is close to being three digits". "An action could be an isolated thing, small and pinpointed, or it could be an intense week involving a great many elements," he said of the strikes. Since Syria's civil war erupted in 2011, Israel has maintained a policy of attacking arms convoys intended for Hizbullah, which is a key supporter of the Syrian regime and fought a devastating war against the Jewish state in 2006. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last year that Israel had "taken military action" against Iranian convoys leading weapons to Hizbullah "dozens and dozens of times".
