Dozens of Advanced IEDs Found in South Lebanon
(Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center ) On Dec. 26, 2009, a force belonging to UNIFIL's Spanish brigade discerned the movement of five suspicious individuals south of the Shi'ite village of Al-Khiyam in south Lebanon about 1 km. from the Israeli border. Searches conducted by UNIFIL forces and the Lebanese army revealed a number of explosive pits containing dozens of IEDs weighing a total of about 300 kg. An initial investigation showed that they were not improvised devices, but rather advanced, industrially mass-produced bombs manufactured in Iran or Syria. A comparison of the IEDs found to those used by Hizbullah in the past make it likely that Hizbullah was responsible for placing them near the Israeli border. This incident, like those which preceded it, proves that Hizbullah has returned to regular military-terrorist activities in south Lebanon.
