IDF: Hizballah May Infiltrate Lebanese Army
[Ynet News] Ilan Marciano - IDF Northern Command head Maj.-Gen. Udi Adam expressed concern Tuesday over the prospect of Hizballah fighters joining the Lebanese army as southern Lebanon is handed over to Lebanese control. He also noted that Hizballah fighters could be hiding among the southern Lebanon residents making their way back to their homes. Adam said IDF troops will start leaving Lebanon in the coming days, with areas being vacated by the army handed over to UN forces, which will in turn hand them over to the Lebanese army. He said 550 Hizballah fighters were killed, including several senior figures. "We fought against a Hizballah that was equipped and operating like an Iranian commando division," Adam said.
