Report: Hezbollah holds wide-scale drill
2012-08-24
The Egyptian government newspaper Al-Gomhuria reported that Hezbollah held an unprecedented military exercise this week, which included over 10,000 of its operatives.
 
According to the report, the drill was personally supervised by Hezbollah Chief Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah.
The Jerusalem Post adds:
'Hezbollah drill prepares to 'occupy the Galilee"

After Nasrallah threatens to kill tens of thousands of Israelis, Hezbollah trains for war inside Israel.

Over 10,000 Hezbollah fighters participated in the terror organization's largest military exercise to date last week, which included defensive tactics and "preparations to conquer the Upper Galilee," Lebanese newspaper Al- Joumhouria reported Thursday morning.

"This is happening in full coordination with Iran," said Dr. Ely Karmon, a senior research school at the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya's Institute for Counter-Terrorism. "In his last two speeches in hiding, [Hezbollah chief Hassan] Nasrallah indicated that he would join an Iranian counter-strike if Israel struck Iran's nuclear program."
