"Our planes identified and destroyed these four trucks coming from Syria that were transporting weapons and munitions destined to replenish Hizbullah's stocks in south Lebanon," a spokeswoman said, adding that the contents and destination of the trucks were based on "intelligence".

As I understand it, Hezbollah has had 6 years to stock up on weapons in South Lebanon. So here we are in day 5 of a war that they have planned on for at least that long and they are already needing replenishment from Syria. Makes no sense to me.

Given the above and the fact that Israel has went to great lengths to restrict the movement of materials from Syria one might wonder just where those 10,000 rockets that Hezbollah has left actually are stored. I think everyone is assuming they are in Lebanon, most likely in South Lebanon.

Maybe they aren't. Maybe most are still in Syria. Just maybe.
