High military tension over Iranian presence on strategic Lebanese peak
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report
July 14, 2008, 6:29 PM (GMT+02:00)
DEBKAfile’s military sources report that Israel has placed its military and air forces on its northern borders on high alert after Iran and Syria ignored Jerusalem’s warning, relayed to Washington,
that the continued presence of Iranian, Syrian and Hizballah officers on the strategic Lebanese Sannine peak may spark a military clash.
Monday, July 14, two days ahead of the prisoner swap with Hizballah, Israel’s army spokesmen disclosed that Iranian officers had assumed command of Hizballah’s fighting units.
Our military sources report that the disclosure, which further fueled the cross-border tension, referred to the Iranian officers in command of Hizballah teams atop the 7,800-foot Mt.
Sannine peak, whence they can monitor and menace US Sixth Fleet movements in the eastern Mediterranean and Israeli Air Force flights.
Iranian officers have also been attached to Hizballah’s anti-air, surface, and shore-to-ship missile units across Lebanon.
All Israel’s military, police and security contingents are also on the ready in case of trouble flaring immediately after Israel and Hizballah exchange prisoners Wednesday.
They estimate that once the exchange is out of the way, Hizballah will unleash a cross-border assault and terrorist action inside Israel, its promised revenge for the killing of their military commander Imad Mughniyeh in Damascus last February for which they blame Israel.
Israel’s restraint against Hamas’ missiles campaign from Gaza, despite repeated threats, has left Hizballah and Tehran unmoved by its warning on Lebanon.
The electrical vibes on the Israel-Lebanese border have not reached Paris or impacted President Nicolas Sarkozy’s drive, encouraged by the Bush administration, to end Bashar Assad’s international isolation and so cut him away from his alliance with Iran and ties with Hizballah.
The very opposite process is racing fast forward in the Middle East.
In Lebanon, Syria and Iran are operating in close sync to carve Lebanon up between them and seize strategic locations – fully exploiting
the willful blindness of Paris and Washington.

Hizbullah Ratcheting Up, Olmert Asks for UN Help

(IsraelNN.com) Arab reports indicate that Hizbullah is preparing to arm its rockets with chemical warheads
and to build extensive fortifications. Defense Minister Ehud Barak blames the Syrians, while Prime Minister Ehud Olmert asks the United Nations to do something.
“[UN] Resolution 1701 is being violated. The Hizbullah continues to get stronger with the ongoing and intimate assistance of the Syrians,” according to Defense Minister Barak. Speaking at a meeting of the Labor party’s Knesset representatives on Monday, Barak said, “The delicate balance that exists on the northern border should not be violated on the two-year anniversary of the Second Lebanon War.
We should make an explicit statement: Resolution 1701 did not work, it is not work ing, and all
indications are that it will not work in the future. It is a failure.”
Adding further weight to Defense Minister Barak’s declaration is an article in the Kuwaiti daily Al-Siyasa, which reported Monday that Hizbullah has acquired chemicals needed to make weapons such as nerve gas or mustard gas from North Korean suppliers. The Lebanese terrorist organization is allegedly preparing to arm its Katyusha rockets with such chemical warheads. Echoing Barak’s claims, the Kuwaiti paper also stated that the assistance of Syria and Iran has been crucial in Hizbullah’s efforts to acquire chemical weapons capabilities. The Al-Siyasa report was based on intelligence provided to the Kuwaiti paper by Syrian opposition figures in the United States.
Other Arab sources also indicate Hizbullah is entrenching itself for another attack on Israel. The organization is reportedly stockpiling “truckloads” of building materials, such as steel and concrete, in order to restore and expand the terrorists’ network of fortifications in southern Lebanon.
Beirut-based Dalal Steel Industries, a leading manufacturer of steel reinforced buildings, reported that it has provided Hizbullah with substantial bunker-building and other materials. The company told Arab media that it had been shipping Hizbullah orders southwards towards Israel’s border. The underground bunkers used by Hizbullah, usually hidden by natural cover such as trees and foliage, were coined “nature reserves” by the IDF in
the 2006 Second Lebanon War, and they proved difficult targets to find and destroy.
Eyewitness accounts allege that Hizbullah members are preventing UNIFIL forces from inspecting the trucks or preventing their movements. Reports by UNIFIL commanders have confirmed that local Hizbullah supporters have effectively prevented the force from efficiently performing its duties under UN Security Resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 Lebanon War. Among other tasks, the UNIFIL mandate is to assure a southern Lebanon “free of any armed personnel, assets and weapons other than those of the Government of Lebanon and of UNIFIL deployed in this area.”
In light of the failure of UNIFIL and the ratcheting up of Hizbullah forces, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert turned to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon to prevent weapons smuggling to Hizbullah units in southern Lebanon. “UNIFIL must act much more intensively,” Olmert said during a meeting with Ki-Moon on Monday.

Excerpt 1 from Haaretz
Barak: UN Resolution on Lebanon War a Failure
Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Monday branded UN Security Council Resolution 1701 that ended the Second Lebanon War a failure, saying that it had not achieved the aim of disarming Hizbullah in Lebanon. Barak told a Labor Party forum on Monday that the resolution had not worked, does not work now, and will probably never work. Despite the resolution’s call for a strict ban on arms shipments to Hizbullah, the group has rearmed and now has a larger rocket arsenal than it did during the war. “Hizbullah is continuing to ignore [the resolution] with the ongoing intimate assistance of the Syrians,” Barak said.
