Sharon: A barrel of dynamite on the border with Lebanon

In an interview with the Israeli daily Yadhout Ahronot, issued today, the Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon said that "Israel on the north sits on a barrel of dynamite. Iran has established a system of katyusha and missiles in south Lebanon, including infrastructure and there are talks that no less than 8000 missiles, which are able to strike Haifa and areas situated to the south of Haifa and al- Buheira area, the military airport in Ramat David and the Industrial area in the Gulf of Haifa."

Sharon added " This system is preserved by the Iranian revolutionary guards and the Hizbullah party. Iran is very active in Lebanon and is working in the lines of the Arabs of Israel through the Islamic movement. "

He added "The link between Arafat and the Iranians started before the meeting of the PLO officials with Ayatullah al-Khumeini and this link is continuous until today despite that 'Karin A' ship was arrested. The Palestinians are linked to Hizbullah through force no. 17 which is the guard for Arafat."
