during the war of 2006, Robert Fisk claimed that HA was able to destroy at the beginning of the war a very important outpost of the Israeli air force. That was responsible for the communication between different IDF groups.
in the same article, Fisk talks about the fact that despite all electronics and advanced equipments, the IDF remained blind to what was the strategy of HA and the whereabouts of different leaders of the resistance...
and he even questionned whether HA itself breached the IDF communications...

Yes. You're right. Part of Hizballah's military strategy is through communications. I however, do not consider them capable of doing something like this without the government's consent. Are they working for Lebanese sovereignty or their soveriegnty?
Second, I tackled the way the question was proposed, since no one in the government talked about removing HA's weapons. The question in itself is misleading. We can argue that communications are considered as weapons and part of Hizballah's jurisdiction to place them wherever they want. But that's not the point of this question is it ?
