IDF: Hizbullah Controls Lebanon's Army, We Won't Distinguish between Them in Next War
(Ha'aretz) Yaniv Kubovich - Hizbullah is virtually in control of the Lebanese army, a senior officer in the IDF Northern Command said Wednesday. "The distinction we made between Hizbullah and Lebanon during the Second Lebanon War [in 2006] was a mistake. In the next war we will not make this distinction. We will hit Lebanon and any infrastructure that would contribute to the fighting." "Hizbullah upgraded its capabilities through its fighting in Syria," he said. In the next war it will try to carry out a penetration into Israeli territory.
