IHezbullah has been able to establish a military presence north and south of the Litani River and is already prepared to a large extent to fire rockets and missiles on Israel, Israeli media reported on Wednesday Yediot Ahronot daily said Tuesday that security and intelligence chiefs were expected to present a discouraging assessment of the situation during the cabinet meeting Wednesday.
The report added that Hezbullah's new military plan can effectively hinder the Israeli ground forces who would enter Lebanon to curb the missile fire.

Hezbullah's rockets and missiles, estimated at 40,000, are found on both sides of the Litani, Yediot Ahronot reported.
Yet, the heavy arsenal, the newspaper added, is made up of several hundred rockets with warheads weighing hundreds of kilograms and featuring a range of up to 250 kilometers.
According to the daily, the arsenal is found underground north of the Litani and is well fortified in land bought by Hezbullah, the newspaper said.
"In South Lebanon, the group established a fortified underground system that would be used to fight the Israeli Military armored corps and infantry troops that advance towards the rocket arsenal north of the Litani," the daily said.
"Meanwhile, the logistics and training center of Hezbullah, which has been boosted with thousands of new fighters, is in the Bekaa Valley region."
However, the most worrisome development to Israelis has to do with a new component that Hezbullah is attempting to set up with Syrian assistance.

The newspaper mentioned an anti-aircraft system that is aimed at limiting Israel's ability to gather intelligence above Lebanon, and later make it more difficult for the Israeli Air Force to strike in Lebanon and Syria.
The Israeli daily warned that if Iran, Syria, and Hezbullah were able to establish a massive anti-aircraft system in Lebanon, this will fundamentally change the strategic balance of power. This system, the newspaper stressed, is supposed to provide aerial defense to the entire Syrian-Iranian rocket and missile arsenal in Lebanon and western Syria.

Yediot Ahronot said the message to Syria, which was also being conveyed via Wednesday's cabinet meeting "and through other means, some of them clandestine," is as follows: "Israel would not accept the establishment of an advanced anti-aircraft system in Lebanon; should it be set up, Israel will not hesitate to act against it."
According to the daily, the Israeli government is attempting to convey all these messages at this time to Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and the international community. 

Israel is also warning Lebanon against granting Hezbullah the freedom to act, in light of the Lebanese government's policy statement that gave Hezbullah the right to free Lebanese occupied territory. 
While the third issue is a warning to Hezbullah to refrain from carrying out acts of revenge for the killing of its top commander Imad Mughniyeh in a Damascus car bombing last February; Such acts would meet a "disproportional response," the daily reported
