    Israel: Hezbollah smuggled explosives into Israel

    Associated Press – Wed, Aug 8, 2012

    JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli security forces say Hezbollah militants have smuggled explosives into northern Israel using a network of drug dealers on either side of the Lebanese-Israeli border.

    Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said Wednesday the explosives were to be used in attacks on Israelis. He says 14 Israeli Arabs were arrested over the past few weeks in connection with the case. The arrests followed a months-long undercover operation.

    The Shin Bet says most of the suspects are drug dealers and presumed the packages they were asked to transfer were drugs. About 20 kilograms (44 pounds) of explosives were smuggled in.

    The Shin Bet says security forces also seized assault weapons, a machine gun and other weapons.
