Digging under ground

I’ve heard a lot in the past week or so about the underground tunnels Hezbollah has built all along Lebanon’s southern (and Israel’s northern) border. These reports led me to wonder why Israel, which has a very well equipped army, didn’t have bunker busters, of the type we heard about during the first Iraq War in 1991. It turns out they’re on back order. Already a couple of years ago, Israel placed an order for these weapons from the US, and Israel is now seeking to expedite that order (a not unreasonable request given the passage of time and Israel’s current exigent situation). Hashmonean has the whole story.Talking to Technorati: , , , ,
