U.N. told Hezbollah arsenal has tripled

JERUSALEM, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Israel has informed the United Nations the arsenal of Hezbollah guerrillas' land-to-sea missiles in Lebanon has tripled, Haaretz reported Wednesday.

The intelligence came to light Tuesday in a report by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon following up on the second Israel-Hezbollah war in July 2006.

Ban's report for the Security Council said Israel had provided "a great deal" of information claiming Hezbollah militants had rehabilitated its military strength north of the Litani River, where "most of the new missiles include (Iranian-made) Zelzal and Fajr missiles that have a range of more than 150 miles and are capable of hitting areas south of Tel Aviv."

However, Ban was critical of Israel for failing to provide complete information on the location of cluster bombs fired during the war and Israel's continued use of military flights into Lebanese airspace, Haaretz said.

The newspaper report didn't provide specific numbers of missiles and arms Israel alleges Hezbollah has.

The UN supervises to make sure they assemble the weapons correctly, after all it would be a tragedy if a hezbollah fighter shot himself because his equipment wasn't assembled properly.....

This is partially Israel's fault. Israel sells weapons to China and China sells them either directly or indirectly to Iran. And we all know where Hezbollah gets its arms from.

Yes Trumpledor, but we both know the U.N. directly supplied many arms to Hezbollah too.

Of course. Hezbollah even 'rents' UN marked vehicles.

"supervising", duh, they were making sure the hezbollah fighters were getting where they needed to go. That's what the UN does

Hasn't the U.N. ruled that Hezbollah's kidnappings of Israeli soldiers (more than once) is considered a legitimate act of self-defense under international law? I am pretty sure this is true but if someone could link me?
