Hizbullah Operations in Columbia Revealed (Ynet News)  Hizbullah's presence and activities have been confirmed by the Columbian police after a three-year investigation carried out jointly with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the Spanish language news website Infobae reported.  Hizbullah is involved in drug dealing, selling and exporting stolen vehicles, and money laundering, alongside recruiting locals for future terror-related activities.  Supporters are recruited at local mosques and community centers and they are sent to Lebanon with "scholarships."

In addition, Israel supplies electricity to Gaza via ten power lines. And Israel supplies water to Gaza via two pipelines. Some "blockade."
