Hizballah in Tyre
[Ynet News] Moshe Elad - The southern Lebanese city of Tyre and the surrounding towns have many rocket launchers and ammunition depots, but the level of soldiering in those areas is lower than that of operatives based in Maroun al-Ras and Bint Jbail to the east. Some of the Tyre area warriors fought alongside Israel in Southern Lebanon Army (SLA) Shiite units; others are the sons of PLO members. Those who launch rockets from this front are mercenaries rewarded with a smuggling "franchise." Col. (res.) Moshe Elad, who served many years in Lebanon, is a researcher at the Samuel Neaman Institute for Advanced Studies at the Technion in Haifa.
