The Iranian-backed, Syrian-supported Lebanese Hizb’allah terrorist organization has taken just six months to restore itself to the level of weapon-readiness it had before last summer’s war with Israel.
And according to the group’s second-in-command, Naim Kassem, the progress made in the last half-year equaled everything Hizb’allah achieved in the six years since Israel unilaterally left the Gaza Strip.
We are ready for another war with the Jews, Kassem reportedly said.
He bragged that Hizb’allah has taken delivery of new missiles and had built new concrete bunkers in preparation for another round.
Kassem’s statements were made brazenly, knowing as he does that the UN ceasefire resolution that brought an end to the Second Lebanon War expressly forbids Hizb’allah’s re-armament.
However, no condemnation for the violation is expected to come from the United Nations
