Hezbollah using abandoned Israeli weapons
Israeli military officials have discovered Hezbollah militants in Lebanon using Israeli weaponry either stolen or left behind when Israel withdrew in 2000.
Maj. Meir Guttman said Israeli radio equipment, body armor and rifles have been found by troops now operating in southern Lebanon. He said as troops were destroying guerrilla facilities, Israeli night-vision equipment, gas masks, various types of handguns, silencers and helmets were recovered.
Guttman said it wasn't known if the items had been stolen in raids into Israel, or whether they were inadvertently left behind after May 24, 2000, when Israel completed the withdrawal of its forces from southern Lebanon in accordance with a U.N. Security Council resolution.
Israel had about 10,000 troops in Lebanon Wednesday, as the Cabinet approved stepping up its forces battling Hezbollah militants for the past four weeks.
