A "Southern Headquarters" operated by Hizbullah is currently operating in secret in Syrian territory. Some 20 lookout positions have been set up on the Syrian Golan Heights facing Israeli territory. Each outpost is manned by Syrian soldiers, often accompanied by Hizbullah forces. In addition, Hizbullah uses technology to listen in to communications on the Israeli side.
