UN: Hizbullah has replenished missiles.
So is the headline this evening in Israel. Please no one, ever again, tell me how useful the UN is for Middle East peace. Please, no one tell me "yeah, but you can trust the Hizzbollah, they gave their word, they agreed to the UN 1701-I guess we now know the truth. Do not trust the UN, the Hizzbollah or any other enemy group! Those of you who think otherwise, get your heads out of ... and grow up! Hizbullah has succeeded in rearming itself and has obtained missiles with a range of 250 km., a UN report on the implementation of UN Resolution 1701 stated. Such missiles would be capable of striking areas south of Tel Aviv.
Weapons smuggling from Syria into Lebanon, in violation of 1701, is continuing as well.
According to the report, which was quoted by Army Radio, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon called the continued arms smuggling "grave."
The report also noted that according to information provided by Israel, Hizbullah was rearming itself south of the Litani River, and that given this development, UNIFIL forces and the Lebanese army were increasing their efforts to patrol the area.
Further, Israeli intelligence passed on to the UN stated that the number of land-to-sea missiles in Hizbullah's stockpile has tripled.
The report also criticized Israel for not relaying details of its cluster bombing campaign during the Second Lebanon War, and for not ending continued IAF overflights in Lebanese airspace.
