Hezbollah Beginning to Crack

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten – the Jerusalem Post quotes a report indicating that the Hezbollah terrorist organization is beginning to crack with many of its members fleeing their posts. Some of the terror group’s fighters have even fled to Syria with their families rather than stay and fight against Israel. The report indicates that Israel’s recent pager/walkie talkie detonation attack injured thousands causing chaos in Hezbollah’s ranks. Israel’s ground offensive in southern Lebanon has also caused them to cut and run.
As the group continues to fire rockets at Israel on a nearly hourly basis, the report provides optimism that in a matter of time, the Iranian proxy will fall.
