snip about Powell on northern front

Landing in the Israel-Lebanese border sector, he was greeted by a group of current and former generals like himself: Defense Minister Binyamin Ben Eliezer, Deputy Chief of Staff Maj.-Gen. Moshe Yaalon and OC Northern Command Maj.-Gen Gaby Ashkenazi.

DEBKAfile's military sources report that the briefings the visitor from Washington received covered the following developments:

The Iranian missile and ammo airlift to Hezbollah, which is running from Bandar Abbas via Damascus military airport. Tehran is keeping the Lebanese Shiite group amply re-supplied with the means to maintain the almost daily cross-border barrage into Israel. The offensive was launched two weeks ago, with the 8,000 rockets Hezbollah received from Iran. The Iranian transports are allowed to cross Iraqi airspace and refuel at Iraqi bases.

Iran has stuffed Hezbollah accounts in Syrian banks with millions of dollars to fund operations.

Iranian Revolutionary Guards, several hundred of whom are posted in Lebanon, have helped Hezbollah mortar and rocket crews improve their accuracy manifold. Many are amazed there have been no more than half a dozen Israeli casualties.

Agency dispatches said settlers huddled in underground bunkers in northern Israel as surface-to-air Strella missiles shoulder-fired from Hizbullah bases exploded in thunderous blasts over the border.
