Hizballah Sponsors Palestinian Militancy
(AFP/Beirut Daily Star) - Hizballah is increasingly seeking to supervise the military operations of Palestinian militant groups in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, an Israeli military source said Monday. "In the past two months, we have foiled 19 suicide attacks inside Israel, all of them were sponsored by Hizballah," the intelligence official said. "For Hizballah, the Palestinian adventure is a way of keeping their 'jihadic' identity and avoiding being turned into just another Lebanese political party," the official said. He said Hizballah's support consisted in delivering arms through all borders, supplying military know-how, and even on an operational level, coordinating joint operations involving several Palestinian groups.
