50,000 Hezbollah men said deployed along border with Israel

[Behind the Aegis]

The Lebanese newspaper A-Safir reported Saturday that the Lebanon-based guerilla group Hezbollah has deployed 50,000 "activists" along the southern border with Israel and declared a state of high alert in southern Lebanon.

According to the report, the organization has also evacuated all buildings in the area designated for social or political purposes in recent days, in preparation for a confrontation with Israel in the wake of the assassination of Hezbollah terror chief Imad Mughniyah.

Mughniyah, the organization's deputy secretary general, was killed in a blast in an upscale Damascus neighborhood late Tuesday. On Thursday, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah blamed Israel for the assassination and vowed to retaliate. Israel denied any involvement in the incident.

Meanwhile Saturday, another Lebanese newspaper reported that Lebanese officials believe a serious military confrontation with Israel will erupt in the near future.

According to a report in the Hezbollah-affiliated newspaper Al-Akhbar this possibility has been raised in intensive discussions being held between Hezbollah officials and Iranian and Syrian officials. The various militant Palestinian organizations have also declared a state of high alert, the report added.

1. why hasn't

Hizbollah been disarmed as per the cease fire agreement?

Syria is once again using their proxy to stir up troubles and I would not be surprised to see another attack by Israel against Hizbollah. No one else, including the UN, seems to want to do anything about this illegal terror group.

3. Nope, no one wants to touch any of these terror groups

which ALL ignore UN resolutions.

Wasn't Hezbollah supposed to have been disarmed years ago? Why does their complete lack of adherence to international law not bother the very people that get very hot and bothered about Israel's supposed lack of adherence to international law?

Damn double standards I guess.
