NICOSIA Ñ Hizbullah plans to enhance its
military capability in preparation for another war with Israel, its leader told reporters from a secret location.
Hizbullah has reported a military buildup in Lebanon to face what was
expected to be another war with Israel. The Shi'ite militia was reported to
possess more than 40,000 missiles and rockets, with ranges of up to 320
kilometers.
"The continuation of Israeli threats against Lebanon force the
resistance to seek more power in order to improve its capabilities,"
Hizbullah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah said.

Nasrallah addressed reporters from an unknown location via a video link.
He has rarely appeared in public since the Hizbullah war with Israel in
2006.
In a news conference on Nov. 30, Nasrallah did not detail Hizbullah's
military plan, Middle East Newsline reported. He said war against Israel was the only way to regain
captured territory.
"The constant Israeli threat requires a defense strategy based on a
popular resistance that participates in the country's defense against any
Israeli aggression and a national army that protects the country and
preserves its stability and security," Nasrallah said.
Comments
Once again, Nasrallah proves his stupidity. Evidently, he has not learned his lesson in '06. Next time will be far worse and his followers will have him to thank.

If Hezbollah prepares a new war against Israel it will be responsible for the death and wounded of hundreds if not thousands. How can the international community remain without any reaction against those irresponsible criminals which are of course armed and instructed by Iran?
