Hezbollah could 'for years' enter Israel via tunnels, group's leader saysIran-backed Hezbollah has “for years” been able to enter Israel, the Lebanese group’s leader said on Saturday, responding for the first time to Israel’s discovery of tunnels dug into Israeli territory from Lebanon. The important thing is that we have this capability and we have had it for years,” said Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in an interview with al-Mayadeen TV. Israel said last month it had discovered Hezbollah “attack tunnels” and the U.N. Middle East envoy this week confirmed the existence of two of them, which he said constituted a breach of the 2006 truce existing between Israel and Lebanon.
