Hizbullah Drill Prepares to Occupy the Galilee
(Jerusalem Post) Over 10,000 Hizbullah fighters participated in a military exercise last week in southern Lebanon that included "preparations to conquer the Upper Galilee," the Lebanese newspaper Al-Joumhouria reported Thursday. "This is happening in full coordination with Iran," said Dr. Ely Karmon, a senior researcher at the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya's Institute for Counter-Terrorism. "In his last two speeches, [Hizbullah chief Hassan] Nasrallah indicated that he would join an Iranian counter-strike if Israel struck Iran's nuclear program." According to the report, some 2,000 Hizbullah fighters will continue training in Iran.
