Iran Sets Up Intelligence Network to Spy on Israel
(Telegraph-UK) Con Coughlin - Iran has set up a sophisticated intelligence gathering operation in southern Lebanon to identify targets in northern Israel in the event of a military confrontation over its nuclear program. Senior Israeli military commanders say Iran has spent tens of millions of pounds helping its close ally, Hizballah, to set up a network of control towers and monitoring stations along the entire length of Israel's border with southern Lebanon. "This is now Iran's front line with Israel," a senior Israeli military commander said. "The Iranians are using Hizballah to spy on us so that they can collect information for future attacks." Teams of Iran's Revolutionary Guards travel regularly to the area to help train local Hizballah fighters in terrorist tactics.
