PEOPLE'S WAR
Hezbollah is proving a tough opponent for Israel because of their Viet Cong-style network of tunnels in southern Lebanon, the authoritative Jane's Defence Weekly magazine said Friday.
The Shia Muslim militia has launched hundreds of rockets on towns in northern Israel and is seemingly still capable to carry on with the rocket strikes despite a punishing bombardment by the Jewish state, Jane's said.
Alon Ben-David, a Jane's Defence Weekly correspondent, said that intensive Israeli air raids had done limited damage to Hezbollah's defensive fortifications, despite IDF special forces launching small incursions into Lebanese territory.
"The Israeli forces have discovered that Hezbollah has established a Viet Cong-style network of tunnels and trenches close to the Israeli border, providing shelter for its operatives and their weapons," said Ben-David.
