A senior source told Channel 12 News correspondent Almog Boker that the State of Israel is now aiding the Hezbollah terror organization in its efforts to regroup and recover its power - due to the lack of strikes in Beirut over the course of the past five days. "The success of the past few weeks is due to the fact that we did not allow them to raise their heads," the source added, referring to the IAF's recent incessant attacks in Lebanon. He stressed, "We have many more targets - this cessation harms us, and allows Hezbollah to rear its head. Look at the past 48 hours."
