Report: A source close to Hezbollah confirms for the first time that the organization is rebuilding its forces in southern Lebanon with the help of Iranian advisers.
YONI BEN-MENACHEM -- The newspaper "A-Sharq Alawest" reported this morning from a Lebanese political official close to the "Amal" movement and the Hezbollah organization, that Iranian expert advisers from the "Revolutionary Guards" are monitoring Hezbollah's battles against the IDF forces in southern Lebanon alongside Hezbollah commanders. However, he denied the presence of Iranian volunteers in Lebanon for the purpose of fighting against the IDF.
He added: "We do not hide the presence of Iranian experts who were killed together with Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah or together with Hashem Safi al-Din, the head of Hezbollah's executive branch, or with other senior officials that Israel eliminated."
In his estimation, the chances of a political solution have diminished, and it is better that the last word be said on the battlefield as long as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to destroy the Lebanese villages on the front line of the border with Israel. This is with the aim of creating facts on the ground that will allow him to control fire on the area south of the Litani River, empty southern Lebanon of its inhabitants and turn it into a "scorched earth", in order to impose his conditions for the implementation of UN Resolution 1701.
