The Hizbullah terrorist organization is slowly but surely taking over the Lebanese army, IDF sources said Wednesday. Israeli media quoted military officials saying that more Shi’ite Muslims, who are represented by Hizbullah, are joining the Lebanese army.
Unlike Christian Arabs in the army, the Shi’ites are deployed close to the Israeli border in southern Lebanon, which is dominated by Hizbullah. The IDF also has noted that many Lebanese villages near the border are expanding and being used as Hizbullah observation posts on Israel.
