Hizballah Increases Missile Arsenal
(Middle East Newsline) Hizballah has significantly increased its missile and rocket arsenal, receiving more than 1,000 missiles and a range of rockets from Iran, Iraq, and Syria in 2002 and 2003, Israeli officials said. Hizballah now has an estimated 12,000 rockets and missiles deployed in southern Lebanon that present a strategic threat to Israel. While Iran and Syria withheld weapons shipments to Hizballah for several months in 2003, missile and rocket deliveries were resumed at the end of last year.
