| (Xinhua) -- A Hezbollah official has spoken about possible Israeli infiltration towards the Lebanese-Syrian boarders, local Elnashra news website reported on Thursday. "Syrian forces are trained on fighting in Hezbollah style," Sheikh Nabil Kaouke, a senior Hezbollah official responsible for south Lebanon area, was quoted as saying, adding that the Syrians will expand the battle to the Golan Heights. Ruling out an Israeli military strike on Iran, Kaouke said if the Israelis move towards the boarders, the Syrian forces will be ready. He said Israel is avoiding for the time being any "provocation" until May 15, when celebrations of the Israeli state anniversary are over. During these celebrations, heads of states such as the American and French presidents will attend, thus, Israel would avoid problems, Kaouke added. Israel has been on a high state of alert in fear of Hezbollah retaliation to the assassination of Hezbollah senior official Imad Moughnieh in Damascus on Feb. 12. Hezbollah accused Israel of killing Moughnieh, and vowed to retaliate. |
