The Lebanese Hizb'allah continues to arm itself for war with Israel, and no international effort is likely to be made to stop it.

According to intelligence reports, the Iranian-armed and Syrian-supported Islamist group once again has more than 20,000 missiles in its arsenal. This despite the fact that the United Nations ceasefire agreement signed by Jerusalem and Beirut last August stipulated that Lebanon would stop arms supplies reaching the Hizb'allah from Syria.

Hizb'allah had fewer weapons when it succeeded in forcing nearly one million Israelis from their homes, and dealt Israel's economy a severe blow as it rained rockets down on the north of the country last summer.

The small terror group also scored a major victory when the IDF was unable to root it out of southern Lebanon despite its overwhelmingly superior force.

Israeli officials believe there are a number of advanced missiles now in Hizb'allah's hands, some able to hit the suburbs of Tel Aviv.

Estimates are that a renewed conflict with the group could break out as early as this July.
