Israelis Fear Arms Buildup in Gaza
[Boston Globe] Anne Barnard - Israeli officials say they fear that the Gaza Strip could become another southern Lebanon. A senior military official recently described "Lebanonization" - the possibility that Palestinian militants could end up as well-organized, well-fortified, and well-armed as the Lebanese group Hizballah - as the most worrying new threat Israel faces in Gaza. Hamas, he said, began smuggling in more-advanced weapons and Iranian know-how through a growing network of tunnels under the Egyptian border.
