Iran is arming Hizbullah via Turkey and some of the missiles could reach the Dimona area, the Israeli daily Haaretz quoted a senior government source as saying.
The source told Haaretz that Brigadier General Yossi Beiditz, head of the IDF research department, informed European Union ambassadors in a briefing last week that Iran continues to transfer arms and equipment to Hizbullah. "Some of the weapons include long-range missiles that are being transferred through flights using Turkey's airspace, as well as overland though Turkey, under the guise of civilian cargo. "From Turkey, the missiles are transferred to Syria and then Lebanon. Turkey has not permitted the use of its territory for such transfers," Haaretz reported on its website. The same source said that according to Beiditz, some of the missiles have a maximum range of 300 kilometers, "capable of reaching the Dimona area from Beirut." The southern town of Dimona houses Israel's secretive nuclear reactor. "According to intelligence so far available to Israel, the maximum range of missiles in Hizbullah's arsenal had been 250 kilometers," the daily said. According to Haaretz' source, Beiditz told the EU ambassadors that the missiles currently in Hizbullah's possession are more accurate and capable of carrying larger warheads. |
