Some Israeli military official claim that Hizbullah is using Armored
Personal Carriers in Syria, a correct claim, which it received from the
Lebanese Armed Forces, a lie. The carriers in question are way out of
date tracked vehicles and the LAF once received some upgraded ones from
the United States. Israel makes these claims every once a while.
But as was reported when these claims were made on earlier occasions
Hizbullah actually took such APCs from the Southern Lebanese Army
which was an Israeli proxy force used during the Israeli occupation of
Lebanon. When in 2000 Hizbullah finally kicked Israel out of Lebanon,
the SLA dissolved and all the weapons Israel had delivered to it were
taken into Hizbullah’s stocks. They have since been used to fight Israel
and various Gulf states proxy Jihadis in Lebanon and Syria.
