| Hezbollah: Israel makes hollow threats |
| 2009-08-10 |
| [Iran Press TV Latest] Hezbollah says any Israeli attack on Lebanon would bring a much stronger response compared to that of the 2006 war. "If (Israeli War Minister Ehud) Barak's threats are serious--and I don't think they are--he should be aware that if he commits an error or stupid act against Lebanon ... he will discover that the months of July and August 2006 were just a bit of fun," said Hezbollah's Executive Council Chairman Hashem Safieddin. On Thursday, Barak had said that Tel Aviv "would use all necessary force if there was a fresh conflict on its northern border with Lebanon." Safieddin said, "Today we are powerful and this is thanks to the 2006 victory, which is why we think the Israeli threats are hollow and meaningless." Israel fought a 34-day war with Lebanon's Hezbollah in July-August 2006, in which more than 1,400 people, most of them civilians, were killed in Lebanon while 160 were killed in Israel, most of whom were soldiers. Lieutenant General Gaby Ashkenazi, Head of Israel's Armed Forces, warned last month against a military conflict with Lebanon, saying "Hezbollah's weapons stockpile poses a serious threat to Israel." |

| #8 They CANNOT allow Hezbollah to threaten Israeli citizens like they did in 2006. Which is why Bibi Netanyahu was elected prime minister instead of Mr. Olmert's Kadimah successor. |

| #7 Big Boast, no ass behind it. Alligator mouth, hummingbird ass. If Hezbollocks actually begins firing missiles at Israel, you might see Israel retaliate with tac nukes. Works for me, it might be just what's needed to shut all of them up. |

| #6 #5: Nasty must have dig a bigger hole to hide in and changed his shorts. Posted by: CrazyFool Crazy - why do you think we are rushing the new GBU-24 into production? Nasty's hole will NEVER be deep enough. If Hezbollocks actually begins firing missiles at Israel, you might see Israel retaliate with tac nukes. They CANNOT allow Hezbollah to threaten Israeli citizens like they did in 2006. I also think Israel is absolutely fed up with the crap from the EU and our current "president", and will do what they feel they have to do to win the next war. It's going to become VERY uncomfortable to be an Arab if Hezbollah attacks Israel again. |
