A devastating war between Israel & Hezbollah is on the horizon
Elias Bejjani
February 08, 2010
*Israel is preparing to invade Lebanon with massive ground troops.
Israel will not spare any kind of weaponry, including phosphorous and cluster
bombs.
Israel is secretly evacuating its northern region residents.
Israel intends to create a new security zone inside Lebanon, south of the Litani
to enhance her long term occupation.
While the war of words is escalating around the clock between Israel on the one side and
Hezbollah and Syria on the other, analysts in the Middle East and Europe strongly believe
that war is inevitable and will break out within a few months.
In this scary context, senior Lebanese sources told the Saudi daily Al-Okaz that Hezbollah
has announced emergency readiness in all areas of the country where it operates. Senior
figures of the organization were asked to exercise greater caution in their movements
amid fears they would be targeted by Israel. Hezbollah´s leaders are bragging that they
are capable of defeating, humiliating and destroying Israel´s war machine.
Meanwhile, the verbal sparring between Jerusalem and Damascus continued over the
weekend, even if in lower tones. The official Syrian newspaper Tishrin said in an editorial
that "the threats from Israel make it clear that it intends to initiate a new war whose
limits are unknown." The editorial added that "death and destruction may occur if Israel
responds to the logic of some of its leaders, in whose veins flows crime. Damascus is
ready for any path that Israel chooses, whether it is peace or
war." The editorial's author is the newspaper's editor-in-chief, who wrote that the "logic of
war and threats is the dominant logic in Israel. Talk of peace is chatter void of substance
that is mere media propaganda. There is no real political decision for peace in the Zionist
entity, despite promises of this, on the basis of restoring rights to their rightful owners."
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem last week threatened that an Israeli attack against
Syria would be total war. His Israeli counterpart, Avigdor Lieberman, warned that Syrian
President Bashar Assad and his family would not remain in power as a result of the next
war.
In a report written by Hamid Ghoriafi, Middle East analyst and journalist, that was
published today by the Kuwaiti Daily Al-Seyassah, Ghoriafi drew a very dim picture for the
whole situation and predicted a very devastating imminent war that will be according to
the Israelis the last one with on their northern borders. Below are some excerpts from this
report:
Reliable European intelligence reports in London unveiled on Monday an
extensive secretive Israeli ongoing operation to evacuate hundreds of families
living in the Galilee settlements adjacent to the border with Lebanon to safer
locations inside Israel, especially west Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and surrounding
areas. These families are transported by trucks and buses and priority is given
to families with many children, the elderly and the physically disabled. The
evacuees' houses are put under the control of the Northern
Military Command for reasons not yet known."
A German report that was recently distributed to those concerned in the European Union
capitals revealed that there is a serious Israeli military intention to reoccupy the former
border strip inside Lebanon with a distance of 5 to 6 kilometers. This strip was known as
the "security zone" before the Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon in May 2000.
Initially it was established in the aftermath of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and
occupation of her capital in 1982. The aim was to create a semi-demilitarized zone along
the area of Lebanese Christian and some Shiite villages that are scattered near the Israeli
border in a bid to safeguard the Jewish settlements from shelling and infiltration.
The same intelligence report quoted Israeli Defense Ministry sources saying that their
military engineers have finished putting designs for building two military airports inside
the Lebanese "new security zone", which will stretch temporally up to the Litani River in
the early stages of the war. This area has been under the control of the UNIFIL troops
since 2006. Israel expects that the UNIFIL troops will withdraw in case the war breaks
out. The first airport will be built on the middle and eastern region boundaries towards
Shabaa Farms, Mount Hermon; and the second in the western sector region towards the
coastal town of Naqoura.
All technical and logistic equipments required for the erection of these two airports are
already in locations situated behind the front lines of the Israeli army that is extensively
present on the northern border. Analysts say that this kind of preparations gives the
impression that Israel is definitely planning for a long-term occupation to the south Litani
area. The Israeli occupation accordingly will not endonce the coming military operations
cease."
The report quoted the Israeli defense sources saying that the war will actually begin in
the northern region of the Litani Rriver and all though the Bekaa Valley and eastern
Lebanese mountainous areas that separate Syria and Lebanon because the presence of
Hezbollah in the south of the Litani is no longer as heavy as it was in 2006. The UNIFIL
troops took control of this region after the 2006 war. The report disclosed that the
backbone of the coming Israeli war will be based on two plans:
The first plan is for extensive jet plane aerial bombardment of Hezbollah's scattered
military weaponry caches and missile bases with phosphorus and cluster bombs,
replicating the kind of devastation the southern suburbs of Beirut (Hezbollah's ministate)
suffered during the 2006 war.
The second plan is to execute for the first time, air-landing operations behind
Hezbollah's lines after weakening and destroying its bases in the south, Bekaa Valley and
Beirut.
These two plans in contrast to the 2006 war aim to practically occupy many Lebanese
areas and locations as was the situation in the 1982 invasion led by Ariel Sharon, who
occupied Beirut and its surrounding mountainous and coastal areas.
British sources claimed that another European intelligence report prepared by the UNIFIL
French contingent in southern Lebanon revealed that the Israeli army command has made
ready another SOS war scenario to deal with Syrian and the Palestinian troops who might
cross from Syria and enter the Bekaa Valley equipped with advanced anti-aircraft missiles
to hunt the Israeli jets.
The scenario speaks about Israeli war inside Syria in a bid to completely destroy these
troops. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem last week threatened that an Israeli attack
against Syria would lead to total war.
The report said that 60% of the Israeli air force has already been put on full
alert and is well prepared for action on the first day of the coming war in an extensive
attack on the Lebanese. Israel is planning to fulfill all its objectives and finish the war
within a few weeks. The remaining 40% of the Israeli air force will be ready to join in
swiftly and effectively if the Syrian army gets involved.
The same French report added that Israel is determined to make this war the last one on
her northern borders. The Jewish military command will not spare any advanced and
destructive kind of weaponry that is stored in its caches. Hezbollah will not be the only
target within the Shiite regions that are under its control, but also the Lebanese army, all
Lebanese institutions and infrastructure. Israel is well convinced that Hezbollah is in full
control of the Lebanese government and accordingly its army will not spare the country's
infrastructure as was the situation in the 2006 war. Israel is planning to end Hezbollah
the same way it ended the PLO in the 1982-1983 war.
