The "Israeli" daily Maariv reported Monday that "Israeli" security experts are expecting Hizbullah to focus on intercepting or shooting down "Israeli" jetfighters that fly over Lebanese air space.
According to the "Israeli" experts, the weapons in Hizbullah's arsenal are not enough to threaten the "Israeli" Air Force, which is "why the party is seeking to obtain sophisticated weapons," the paper reported.
After "Israel's" prisoner swap with Hizbullah in July, the party has adopted a defense strategy, a source told the paper, which means it does not need to use the Shibaa Farms or Lebanese detainees as a pretext to launch operations. "It also means that as of now, they will be guarding Lebanon," the source said.
"Israeli" security sources told the daily that Hizbullah has tried to conduct operations against Jewish targets outside "Israel" to avenge the assassination of the party's top military leader, Imad Mognieh, but all of its attempts were unsuccessful.
