French newspaper uncovers routes Syria and Iran use to ship missiles  
to Hezbollah in Lebanon

Three separate Hezbollah units are responsible for moving rockets  
from Syria to Lebanon and deploying them at various sites operated by  
the group, the French daily Le Figaro reported Monday.

Over the past year, international media outlets have published  
numerous reports on the upgrading of Hezbollah's high-trajectory  
missile capabilities and the increasing threat they pose against  
Israeli population centers. So far, Kuwaiti newspapers have been  
publishing most of these reports, joined now by a French paper  
quoting government sources in Paris.

In February, according to reports from Lebanon, some 40 Israeli  
fighter jets flew low one night over the Syrian border, and the Arab  
press was rife with various accounts of an Israeli move to halt the  
smuggling of the missiles.

The abundance of recent reports about Hezbollah is not accidental. It  
seems that Western intelligence agencies are pursuing a number of  
goals: to warn against Hezbollah's developing capabilities, a veiled  
threat against Syria so it will limit its involvement in weapons  
smuggling, and the preparation of international groundwork in case  
Israel decides to act against the weapons smuggling or the rocket  
array itself.
