'Hezbollah is arming Gaza for a new war on Israel', says Israel's spy chief
Telegraph
"Israel's spy chief has given a warning that Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip are garnering increasing numbers of weapons and tactical expertise from Hezbollah fighters since the war in southern Lebanon erupted earlier this summer.
Yuval Diskin, the director of Shin Bet, Israel's equivalent of MI5, said Egypt's Sinai Peninsula was being used as a terrorist base and fast becoming a haven for arms smugglers preparing to shift their wares into the Gaza Strip.
He added that within Gaza terrorists were building rocket hideouts, a bunker network and an anti-tank missile arsenal as they prepared for an escalated confrontation with Israel.
'If we don't move to counter this smuggling, it will continue and create a situation in Gaza similar to the one in southern Lebanon,' he said at a private meeting with Israeli MPs last week." More details.
