IRIS said that it was obvious that
this would happen despite the UN disarmament force. Still the Olmert denied that it could happen, and then spent months furiously denying that it was happening. Now, they are changing their tune given that the truth is out anyway, and their response is to whine about it hoping to garner international sympathy:
Israel alleges that Hezbollah militants in Lebanon have rearmed with new long-range rockets capable of hitting Tel Aviv and tripled their arsenal of land-to-sea missiles since last summer's war, the United Nations secretary-general said in a report Wednesday.
Ban Ki-Moon said the reports of Hezbollah's rearming are a cause of great concern for the stability of Lebanon.
"Israel has stated that the nature and number of weapons in Hezbollah's control constitutes a strategic threat to its security and the safety of its citizens," he said.
Israel claims Hezbollah's long-range rocket force is stationed in areas north of the Litani River and that most of the new rockets, including hundreds of Zilzal and Fajr generation rockets, have a range of 155 miles, "enabling them to reach Tel Aviv and points further south," the report said.
