Lebanon`s guerilla group Hizbullah has almost recovered to its full strength at the level it was before the latest conflict with "Israel" this summer, "Israeli" newspaper Jerusalem Post said on Thursday.
In a report from the "Israeli" Army North Command a high-ranking officer accused Syria, "Israel`s" arch Arab enemy, of having been transferring truckloads of advanced rockets and weaponry in the past four months since the end of the summer war.
Although there was no unequivocal intelligence indicating that war was on the horizon, the possibility of one was the "working assumption" for "Israel`s" military establishment, the officer told the post.
A 34-day-long fighting between "Israel" and Lebanese Hizbullah resistance fighters erupted on July 12, to end on Aug. 14 under a UN-brokered resolution.
Over 1,200 Lebanese civilians and more than 120 "Israeli" soldiers were killed in the conflict.
