It’s Monday, November 17, and what does Benjamin Netanyahu cancelling his Wednesday testimony in his criminal trial for a “security reason” have to do with the north flaring up? Let’s break it down.
With reports flowing about money and weaponry being smuggled into Lebanon, and the rate of IDF strikes intercepting these deliveries increasing, Israeli security officials are concerned that the northern border is moving worryingly close to another outbreak of violence.
Don’t forget: two weeks ago, I wrote that foreign intelligence officials believe Hezbollah has partially reestablished its smuggling route—and is doing so at a pace the Lebanese military cannot compete with.
But after receiving such a beating at the hands of Israel, and after the fall of the Assad regime in Syria cut off a vital supply route, many of you were probably wondering how Hezbollah is already rearming itself. Well, thanks to Ynet’s Ron Crissy, we now have a partial answer.
