Good point, but...

Wouldn't that depend on how and where those Somalians where used/located (assuming they existed)?

If all they did was briefly rotate through a Hiz training camp in the northern Bekaa without ever seeing any action on the border, then the thumb never got sore enough to stick out.

Do the Ethiopian refugees serving in the IDF stick out like a sore thumb? Did they have a deterent morale value on the Somali Hiz volunteers, (assuming they existed)?

I tend to believe that they did exist in small numbers, but that their numbers were inflated by both sides for propaganda purposes.
