Homeland security, Hezbollah style

Beirut’s Daily Star published a commentary making a novel argument for Hezbollah:

Since the events of September 11, 2001, there have been numerous attempts to link Hizbullah to Al-Qaeda – some more plausible than others. Investigation, however, reveals considerable animosity between the two groups, and two leading academics on the subject suggest Hizbullah may be Lebanon’s best protection against an Al-Qaeda presence in the country.

Will Israelis liable to attacks by both Islamic groups really notice any difference?
