IDF: Hizballah Units Returning to Border

[Jerusalem Post] Yaakov Katz - Three months after a UN-brokered cease-fire ended Israel's war in Lebanon, IDF officers said Tuesday that Hizballah gunmen disguised as civilians were back on the border and collecting intelligence on IDF positions. "They [Hizballah] are still there," an officer in the Northern Command said. "We are watching them and they are watching us." "They cannot operate freely like they used to," the officer said. "There is UNIFIL and the Lebanese Armed Forces there and this does complicate things for them." "The Lebanese government does not want to repeat the events of this past summer," the officer said. "To ensure this they need to enforce their sovereignty in southern Lebanon."
