Liberman warns Lebanese army completely under Hezbollah control

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman says the Lebanese army has been fully integrated into the Hezbollah terror organization and now operates under its command.

“Regarding the Lebanese front we are no longer talking about Hezbollah alone. We are talking about Hezbollah and the Lebanese army; regrettably that is the reality. The Lebanese army has become an integral part of the Hezbollah apparatus under its command,” he says at a holiday event at the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv.

He also says that the defense establishment is operating under the assumption that the next conflict will be a two-front war.

“When the next campaign begins, and it doesn’t matter where it begins, in the north or the south, it will immediately become a two-front campaign. There is no longer a single front, and that is our basic assumption. We are preparing the army for that,” Liberman says.
