The growing drug trade across the Lebanese border with Israel is generating enormous amounts of cash, cash that is being used to fund terrorism.
�
Hizbullah earlier in the month announced candidates for Lebanon�s June election, part of the terror organization�s move to seek �legitimacy� in the eyes of the international community. Simultaneously however, Hizbullah continues promoting its drug trade, �narco terror� that not only generates considerable amounts of cash to fund terrorism, but also plaguing Israeli society with the ills associated with drug trade and addiction.
�
From Israel�s point of view, no less troublesome than the constant Hizbullah missile threat is the increasing drug activity over her northern border, a reality that results in 4 tons of heroin entering into Israel from Lebanon annually.
�
Israel Police Chief of Narcotics Division Gal Ben-Ish explains daily efforts exerted along the border include nightly stakeouts in the hope of apprehended dealers.
�
Ben-Ish explains that much of the revenue generated from the drug smuggling operation finances missiles attacks and other Hizbullah terrorism against Israel.
