'Hizbullah has a few thousand fighters'

From Jerusalem Post:
The [Israeli] army is on high alert along the northern border following reports that Hizbullah has deployed 50,000 men in southern Lebanon after last week's assassination of arch-terrorist Imad Mughniyeh in Syria.

Hizbullah supporters fix their flag on top of their rocket models in Bourj Qalawi near the southern port city of Tyre.


Defense officials expressed skepticism over the reports, saying Hizbullah had only several thousand fighters in total. The officials also said there were no indications on the ground of an increase in the Islamist organization's forces in the area.
