This is CBSI on the world.

I'm John Bachelor.

Bill Rajo, my colleague and co-host of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

He's a senior fellow.

Keeps the Long War Journal where you can regularly see reporting by our guest, David

Diyud, watching the southern front, Gaza, the northern front, Hezbollah, and Lebanon.

We go immediately to the northern front.

This show marches to the sound of bombs.

IDF strikes Hezbollah rocket launch sites, Times of Israel headline.

Weapons depots also in South Lebanon in the Baccah Valley.

David, a very good evening to you.

Last week in conversations, several conversations in different directions,

including with people who have got a fresh eyes for me on the threat of the war erupting again in Gaza.

Routinely, it was mentioned that Hezbollah is re-arming.

You have been following that story for weeks, if not months.

Hezbollah was decapitated and pretty much backed away from the final round of fighting in Gaza.

And without adequate inspirational leadership, the presumption was that it was ruthless and

drifting around looking for purpose. Now we have reason to believe that Hezbollah is rearming, I've been told,

and that the IDF is more than a little concerned.

Are the watch powers that the IDF has maintained for the last year?

Are they adequate or something else needs to be done given the rearming?

Good evening to you.
