Lebanese media are reporting that, all of a sudden, Hezbollah has been obtaining stockpiles of "advanced, state-of-the art weapons of various kinds," including shipments from Iran, says a report in Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
The monitors at the Middle East Media Research Institute cite reports of increasing military activity by Hezbollah along the Lebanon-Israel border, in apparent violation of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701.
The Lebanese press reported Hezbollah "has tunnels on the Israeli border and that it possesses advanced weapons provided by Iran and Syria that disrupt the balance of power vis-Ã -vis Israel," MEMRIÂ said.
It's also been reported that Hezbollah is cooperating with Hamas' military wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades

Ibrahim Al-Amin, head of the Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar, wrote recently that Hezbollah's military, security and intelligence capabilities have grown in the recent years.
He said that was at least partly because of the organization's ability to "lay down the rules of the confrontation with Israel; in the extensive and varied arsenal of weapons it possesses, provided by Syria and Iran, which includes 'game-changing' weapons; in its presence not only on the Lebanon-Israel border but on the Syria-Israel border; in its transformation into a major player in Syria, Iraq and Yemen which also has considerable influence in other locations and sensitive arenas in the Arab and Muslim world, and in its ongoing cooperation with Hamas's military wing."
"Re-examining the arena of direct confrontation [between Israel] and Hezbollah, we notice something that greatly worries the enemy's leadership: [that] the enemy has failed in his vigorous efforts to change the rules of the confrontation with the resistance along the border front," he wrote.
He explained the fact that "the enemy" has focused on Syria "allowed a vast supply of advanced, state-of-the art weapons of various kinds, including weapons provided by Iran, to flow into Hezbollah's depots."
The details of the weaponry were not included in the reports that were monitored.
