From The Times Online

Three years after Israel fought a bloody war in Lebanon against Hezbollah, there are fears that hostilities could erupt again — this time with the militant group better armed than ever.

According to Israeli, United Nations and Hezbollah officials, the Shia Muslim militia is stronger than it was in 2006 when it took on the Israeli army in a war that killed 1,191 Lebanese and 43 Israeli civilians.

Hezbollah has up to 40,000 rockets and is training its forces to use ground-to-ground missiles capable of hitting Tel Aviv, and anti-aircraft missiles that could challenge Israel’s dominance of the skies over Lebanon.

Brigadier-General Alon Friedman, the deputy head of the Israeli Northern Command, told The Times from his headquarters overlooking the Israeli-Lebanese border that the peace of the past three years could “explode at any minute”.

      Behold, He who keeps Israel Will neither slumber nor sleep.

      It’s Obama and Hezbollah that should be worried.

    I have seen into the future. When rockets hit Israel and Israel attacks the people who did it, it will be Israel’s fault and many innocent war criminals with no claim to the region who specifically target women and children, I mean palestinians will die despite no actual evidence of that many dead being found.

    Or am I seeing a year ago, I’m not sure. Really we ought to just back Israel and let them take care of their own business instead of letting our politicians play chickenshit anti-semite semantics games.

    Oh well I’ll see if I can send any heathens to their damned prophet this deployment cycle.

    It’s the same story every time. Here an Idea, how bout we provide a “surge” for our brothers in Israel, help them finish off their neighbors and live in peace for a decade or two?

    Welcome to the results of another cease-fire brokered by idiots who have nothing to lose in the conflict… :roll: :evil: Now, Israel is in the frying pan again, and will be maligned again if they act against these enemies, just as with the previous multitude of so-called cease-fires. How long will it be until the power-brokers finally admit that the cease-fires are just a break in the fighting to allow Israel’s enemies to re-arm and repair, and then continue the relentless assault :?:

    I agree, God is taking care of Israel, but in His grand scheme, it may be a while before Israel’s enemies get what they deserve. But when it does come, there is no payback like God’s payback :shock: :twisted:
