Hizbullah Says It’s Digging Tunnels On Israeli Border

Israel is used to fighting against tunnels that Islamist gunmen in Hamas have dug underneath the border between Israel and Hamas. Now Hizbullah in south Lebanon says it too is digging tunnels on the border. In remarks that were first published in al-Safir, a pro-Hizbullah newspaper and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, Hizbullah congratuled its fighters who are “conducting observations, preparing and digging tunnels that cause the settlers and enemy soldiers to lose sleep.” Residents of Jewish communities along the Lebanese border have said they often hear digging at night. Hizbullah is believed to have up to 100,000 rockets that can hit almost all of Israel.
