    The report Thursday in A-Rai al-Yum said that the Shi’ite militia has been on alert since Tuesday at least in southern Lebanon in anticipation of an Israeli strike on its forces or facilities. Citing sources within Hezbollah, the newspaper said this alert was over “secret maneuvers” that Hezbollah believes that the Israel Defense Forces have been carrying out recently.

    Last month, Israel struck in Syria over what Israel said was a violation of its airspace by an unnamnned aircraft that was being controlled by an Iranian command post in Syria. One of the fighter planes that carried out that strike crashed near Israel’s northern border after its pilots safely ejected.

    Iran is an ally of the regime of Syria’s embattled president, Bashar Assad.

    Hezbollah, which is an ally both of Assad and of Iran, has fought alongside the Islamic Republic and Assad’s forces against rebels and jihadists who have taken over large parts of Syria after the eruption in 2011 of a bloody civil war there.

    According to foreign publications, Israel took out a third of Syria’s anti-aircraft capabilities along with the command post that the Jewish state said controlled the penetrating drone.

    I pray that this anxiety intensifies and never leaves them. These animals should always be petrified of Israel. And if they open any lines of battle, they should be crushed and exterminated. These groups of thugs are nothing but poisonous vermin that are a threat to world peace.

    all the information fed to Hezbollah is coming from so called Israeli Arabs who get information by sitting in the Knesset this 5th column like azmi bishara, ahmed tibi and hanan zoabi are not people I would not risk my life defending in order to protect the “jewish state”, as kahane discussed 2 generations ago these Israeli arabs must be dealt with humanely by being made citizens of Jordan.

    This is precisely how our enemies should be all the time. Instead of allowing, enabling and giving courage to rock throwers, inciters, soldier slappers, and terrorists because of Israeli weakness and fear of what everyone will say. Our enemies should be trembling every moment, because they know we mean what we say. We don’t talk big, rather we act big.
