with even more powerful weapons

Israel's war with Hezbollah in 2006 was touched off by a Hezbollah border raid. Israel
invaded Lebanon and Hezbollah retaliated with nearly 4,000 rockets fired into northern
Israel in fighting that killed around 1,200 Lebanese and 160 Israelis, according to
official counts from each side.
The Israel-Lebanon border has been largely quiet since. Hezbollah hasn't fired a rocket
into Israel in the past four years — though Palestinian groups have — and the killing of
an Israeli officer by Lebanese army fire in August was the military's first fatality on the
frontier since 2006.
But although the U.N. truce that ended the fighting forbade Hezbollah to rearm, Israel
believes the group has restocked its arsenal with even more powerful weapons.
