Israel preparing for ‘very violent’ war against Hezbollah

[Abu Zolfiqar]

Good, let Israel waste whatever left of its munitions taking out Hizbi terrorists on the process.

not happening

Hizb will be pogged down leaving room for moderate Syrian rebels to take the offensive. Hizb is nothing but a glorified militia that can barely sustain itself without heavy foreign support, officially a none state actor in a state they claim to represent.

where are the moderate rebels? those ISIS/Nusra lizard eaters seem to have stolen all the attention. Even the US is now talking about cooperation with Iran. Quite frankly - there are no proxy groups in the region that don't receive foreign funding/support (material, moral and otherwise)

Israel has no interest to oust Hamas, because then we wil be forced to control and support Gaza.

it already does control occupied Ghaza/WB (Palestinian land)

Apparently Israel can. Courtesy of Uncle Sam.

Iraq went down for far less, namely non-existent WMD.

Seriously? Did you check this religious fascist's signature? Or his mischeivous changing of the title?

My point is that America can do these things (such as invading Iraq over fake WMD) and get away with it.

And since America is fully supporting Israel, it makes sense that America could do the same for Israel too. That's the power of American global hegemony, as well as their domination of the dollar-based global financial system, and their domination of the English language international media.

Whatever concerns you have with Hazzy are noted, but unrelated to my post.

War by definition is violence, has there ever been a peaceful one?

Israel preparing for war against Hezbollah: Report

The Israeli army is currently preparing for the possibility of the eruption of "a very violent war" with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, Israel's Channel 2 reported.

In the report, Colonel Dan Goldfus of the Israeli army said that they will have to use "considerable force" against Hezbollah and "to act more decisively, more drastically" to win any such conflict with the Shiite group.

Noting that Hezbollah has an estimated 100,000 rockets, Goldfus said that a conflict against the Shiite Lebanese group would be "a whole different story" from the recently-concluded onslaught against the Gaza Strip.

Most of these rockets are deployed in southern Lebanon – near to the border with Israel – but there are also long-range missiles located in Beirut, which are capable of carrying large warheads of up to one ton, he added.

These latter rockets, he said, are equipped with precision guidance systems, covering all of Israel, which would make it difficult for Israel's Iron Dome rocket defense system to deal with them successfully as it happened in the recent war in Gaza.

The report also spoke of concerns that Hezbollah has been digging tunnels under the Israeli border, quoting citizens from the border areas as saying that they heard sounds of tunnel-digging under their homes.

Goldfus did not rule out the possibility, saying that it is a source of concern for the Israeli army, given the tunnels unearthed during the onslaught in Gaza.

Israel's recent offensive on the Gaza Strip ended with the announcement on August 26 of an open-ended cease-fire with the Palestinian resistance factions in the blockaded strip.

The devastating 51-day offensive left some 2,147Gazans dead and 11,000 injured – the vast majority of them civilians – while leaving thousands of residential structures in ruins.

According to Israeli figures, 67 Israeli soldiers and five civilians were killed over the course of the operation – the highest military death toll suffered by Israel since it lost 119 troops in its 2006 war on Lebanon.
