[Ha'aretz] Amos Harel - Senior IDF officers say that "round two" between Israel and Hizballah could begin within months or even weeks, probably over the renewal of arms deliveries from Iran and Syria. One senior officer noted that while UN Security Council Resolution 1701 calls for an embargo on arms shipments to Hizballah, no mechanism has been put in place to enforce this embargo, and said that Israel will have to intervene if the deliveries continue unchecked. Specifically, the military source said, Israel will be forced to carry out aerial assaults on trucks traveling from Syria to Lebanon. "If we know that a truck is carrying arms, we'll strike," he said. "There is simply no alternative."
