U.N. FORCES IGNORING HIZBOLLAH'S REARMING

Hezbollah rebuilding, UNIFIL ignoring (JTA)
Hezbollah is rearming and United Nations forces are doing nothing to prevent it or disarm them, Israel’s military intelligence chief said. Maj.-Gen. Amos Yadlin told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Tuesday that the Lebanese terrorist group is rebuilding its rocket-launching capabilities.

He also said the Syrian army had lowered its alert level to what it was before last summer’s war with Lebanon. Yadlin told the committee it seemed clear that Syrian President Bashar Assad wanted to hold peace talks with Israel, but that his intentions were unclear.
