Barak warns Lebanon, Nasrallah upbeat

[Americanhero1]

Israel is ready for any development on its border with Lebanon, Defence Minister Ehud Barak says in an indirect warning to Hezbollah.
On Saturday, the Secretary General of Hezbollah, Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, addressed a crowd of Lebanese supporters in a videoconference, saying that "Our brothers in the resistance in Palestine know that it is by inflicting the biggest possible losses on the Israeli enemy during the ground confrontation that they will win the battle,"

"It is when the resistance kills soldiers and destroys tanks that the course of the battle will be determined," he added.

Earlier, The Secretary General compared the Hamas's war with July war in 2006 with Israel , saying that "What is happening today in Gaza is not similar but identical to what happened in July of 2006."

"As Lebanese, we can well understand what is happening in Gaza. It is the same as what happened here, the same choices, the same battle, the same conspiracies and God-willing there will have the same outcome." Nasrallah added in his speech in December.

In The 2006 Lebanon War, known in Lebanon as the July War as a 33- day military conflict in Lebanon and northern Israel .

The principal parties were Hezbollah forces and the Israeli military, The conflict started on 12 July 2006, and continued until a United Nationsbrokered ceasefire went into effect in the morning on 14 August 2006.

According to an Israeli government-appointed inquiry, Israel's 2006 war against Hezbollah in Lebanon was a "large and serious" failure and many Israeli officials have in recent weeks and days openly spoken of the need to wage a winning ground campaign in Gaza to restore the reputation of their armed forces.

The army is on high alert along the northern border out of concern that Hizbullah will fire rockets - or use Palestinian proxies to do so - in response to the IDF's escalation of its operations in Gaza.

This would open a second front for Israel as it operates against Hamas in the South.

On Saturday, Saeed Jalili, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, arrived in Syria to discuss the situation in the Gaza Strip. According to media reports, Jalili said Iran and Hizbullah had reached an agreement under which the Lebanese group would launch rockets into Israel if the IDF began a ground operation in Gaza.

Two weeks ago, the Lebanese army discovered eight Katyushas ready to fire north of the southern Lebanese town of Nakoura.

Defense officials said at the time that it was likely that Palestinian groups - which were behind two rocket attacks last year against Kiryat Shmona and Shlomi - were planning to fire the rockets to demonstrate their allegiance to Hamas.

"We will not tolerate an attack in the North," a senior defense official said. "The IDF is versatile and flexible, and if the need arises, it knows how to move forces and fight on a number of fronts."

We hope the northern border will remain quiet," Defense Minister Ehud Barak said on Saturday evening. "But we are ready for any development."

The Second Lebanon War was spurred by the supposed capture of IDF reservists Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev in a cross-border raid on the North, two weeks after the IDF invaded Gaza following the abduction of IDF tank gunner Gilad Schalit by Hamas near Kerem Shalom on June 25, 2006.

Another element that has Israel concerned is that the first anniversary of the assassination of Imad Mughniyeh - the Hizbullah military commander who was killed in a Damascus car bombing in February - is approaching and that the group is seeking revenge.

The fear is that Hizbullah will take advantage of Israel's preoccupation in Gaza to carry out a retaliatory attack.

The fact that Hezbollah, Iran and Syria are so quiet is very worrisome.  Are they holding off until they have the capability to do something in regards to Iran's nuclear program?
