Hizbullah Preparing For Israel Invasion
2010-02-02
(via Debka) US intelligence finds 5,000 Hizballah training to seize Galilee towns.

When US NSA James Jones warned Iran may lash out at Israel via its surrogates Hizballah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza in response to increasing international pressure over its nuclear program, he spoke on the strength of a detailed war plan, summarized here with attached map.

Hizballah would sweep across the border to capture Galilee towns backed by missile barrages and likely Syrian support.
Arm the populace and emplace anti-missile thingies in the town centers. Conquering Israeli communities is s'posed to be hard.
They could try, then they would die.

The Hezbies might want to consult with the Syrians on the last time the Syrians tried to invade Israel.
Jones was not talking out of the top of his head, but on the strength of solid US intelligence gathered over months on detailed war plans Iran, Syria, Hizballah and Hamas have drawn up to send five Hizballah brigades sweeping across the border to seize five sectors of Galilee, while also organizing a massive Israeli-Arab uprising against the Jewish state.

Hamas would open a second front in the south and in the east. Syria is expected to step in at some stage.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards instructors at especially established training facilities near Tehran are already well advanced in training a cadre of 5,000 Hizballah fighters in special operations and urban combat tactics to standards equivalent to those current in similar US and Israeli military forces.

At the outset of the course, the group was split up into five battalions, each given a specific northern Israeli sector for capture with details of its topography and population for close study.

#2  Well - 1 - It's Debka; and 2 - It's a plan.

If anything remotely resemblng this gets underway it might also spell the end for Syria as presently constituted, as well as some interesting changes in Lebanon and Turkey, to just pick the near neighborhood.

Wonder what Dubai thinks of all this?
