Israeli Intelligence Was Not Surprised
[Ha'aretz] Gidi Weitz - "We knew Hizballah had thousands of rockets and hundreds of long-range rockets. There is not a gram of surprise here," declares Brig.-Gen. Yossi Kuperwasser, who until recently was head of the research division of Military Intelligence. "Everything was explained to all those who were entitled to see the material." "Militarily, the working assumption was that Hizballah would have the ability to wage war for a long period." "Hizballah's decision-making body has over it Iranians who make the decisions for it. There is no doubt that Iran gave the authorization in principle to abduct a soldier, in the same way that the significant person in Iran is Khamenei and not Ahmadinejad, whose importance is limited." "They don't authorize every little thing in Hizballah, but things of this magnitude, definitely."
