Lebanese Anger toward Hizbullah Is Rising
(Ynet News) Yossi Yehoshua - In the 148 days since a ceasefire was reached on the northern front, the IDF has eliminated 140 Hizbullah operatives - an average of nearly one a day. Israel's policy is clear: any attempt by Hizbullah to strengthen itself will be thwarted. Hizbullah is attempting to rebuild its command and control structure, including reorganizing its headquarters, regional commands, brigade commanders, and field officers. This is a preliminary step toward rebuilding its military capabilities, including the Radwan Unit, a force intended to capture Israeli communities, which emerged from the war battered and weakened. The IDF is not only monitoring these developments but is actively working to prevent them from becoming renewed threats. "We must act constantly to prevent the monster from resurfacing," said a senior military official. He added, "There are significant areas where the Lebanese army is enforcing measures against Hizbullah far more than we expected before the ceasefire, but we always want more." The atmosphere in Lebanon is no longer the same. Recent Israeli strikes have sparked angry reactions in Lebanon - against Hizbullah. Local bloggers and journalists have accused Hizbullah of dragging the country into unnecessary conflicts.
