Israels wonderful neighbors continue to rattle their sabers to intimidate Israel... I hope that Israels leadership takes these statements for what they are worth, nothing... Israel should flatten Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan...
http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=180970Hizbullah warns Israel on Syrian TVBy JPOST.COM STAFF Israel will suffer tremendous casualties in another war, Hizbullah's deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem said on Friday in an interview with Syrian television cited by Press TV.
"If the result of the July [2006] war was a failure to the Israelis, then Israel would suffer a big loss in its next aggression," Qassem was quoted as saying.
Qassem's remarks came on the fourth anniversary of Israel's Second Lebanon War and were considered a response to the IDF's recent declassification and release of high-quality intelligence of Hizbullah positions in southern Lebanon. Many interpreted the IDF's publicizing of the intelligence as an attempt both to deter Hizbullah attacks and to prepare the Israeli public for a future war should it be deemed necessary.
On Wednesday, top IDF officers revealed that the air force today has thousands of designated targets it can bomb if war were to break out. Some of them, like those that appear on the maps of the southern Lebanese village of el-Khiam that were declassified on Wednesday, are of arms caches, command-and-control centers and rocket launchers; others are likely long-range rockets, like the highly accurate M600 or Scuds, which Syria recently transferred to Lebanon.
In the four years that have passed since the Second Lebanon War, both the IDF and Hizbullah have been busy studying their mistakes and implementing the necessary lessons. The IDF, for example, significantly increased training regimens, developed and procured active-protection systems for tanks and armored personnel carriers and is investing in building new urban warfare training centers due to an understanding that the next conflict would be fought in the narrow streets of southern Lebanese villages.

Ynet
Hezbollah's deputy secretary-general, Sheikh Naim Qassem, said Friday that his organization would crush any attempt by Israel to launch an attack on the Shiite group and warned the Jewish state against an embarrassing defeat.
In an interview to a Syrian television station, Qassem said of the 2006 Second Lebanon War: "If the result of the July war was an Israeli defeat, it will suffer an even greater blow in its next offensive."
Hassan Nasrallah's deputy called on the United Nations Security Council to discuss what he referred to as "Israel's violations" against Lebanon in regards to Resolution 1701, which ended the Second Lebanon War.
He added that the new Lebanese government, which includes Hebzollah, was helping stabilize the country.
The remarks were made several days after the Israel Defense Forces released images proving that Hezvbollah has been transferring weapons and equipment to southern Lebanon, not far from the Israel border.
On Wednesday, the IDF revealed aerial photographs of sites at the village of al-Khiam, where the army suspects Hezbollah is storing various weapons and even operating headquarters and control centers.
Colonel Ronen Marley, commander of the western brigade at the northern border, commented on the rearmament of Hezbollah: "An event can take place today, or a year from now; I am ready for it to happen by surprise. We are operating in different ways to thwart any event – if one should take place, we will know how to handle it."
