Barak: Ahmadinejad's Lebanon Visit Reflects Hizbullah's Growing Dependence on Iran

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit to Lebanon indicates Hizbullah's dependence on Iran was growing, adding that Israel must remain vigilant.

"Ahmadinejad's visit to Lebanon reflects Hizbullah's growing dependence on Iran," Barak said as he toured the Golan Heights on Wednesday.

"Lebanon might cease to be an independent nation, and we must watch and consider the matter, whether from the intelligence aspect or the military one," he warned.
