DEBKAfile’s military sources report: Thursday night, Feb. 14, Syrian officials fanned out among Arab broadcasting stations with a warning: Damascus will attack Israel shortly following a decision by Syrian leaders to end its policy of restraint against its territorial violations.
Israeli land, sea, air and homeland defense units were earlier ordered to prepare to defend the country’s northern borders against attacks by Hizballah, including rocket strikes, and Syria. Reinforcements were rushed to the north.
Israel has received a stream of intelligence confirmations that Iran, Syria and Hizballah have determined not to let Mughniyeh’s death pass without an immediate response. They are working together to mount a revenge operation.
Western sources watching the funeral of the Hizballah commander Imad Mughniyeh earlier Thursday noted the absence of Hizballah’s entire command echelon and the Revolutionary Guards officers serving at Iran’s Beirut embassy. They were assumed to have gone to ground to plan a combined offensive against Israel whom they accuse of the Mughniyeh killing. Hassan Nasrallah’s threats (‘If Israel wants open war, so bit.”) were broadcast by video.
DEBKAfile’s intelligence sources note that the way Iran’s foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki stood at Thursday’s Beirut funeral between Hizballah’s Dep. Sec. Gen Naim Qassem and the slain terrorist’s father and accepted condolences, confirmed Mughniyeh’s high-value role in Tehran’s foreign terror system. It also informed the thousands of Shiite mourners that Iran will be part of prospective retaliation for his death against Israel.
Sounds like “Go Time.”
If this happens, it will push Barry Hussein Obama and her Heinous Hillary Rodham off the front pages.....
Actually I think they were afraid that someone, somewhere might actually reach down, find out that they still have a pair, and order an attack on the mourners of this POS. Much more realistic a scenario than what DEBKA's scare tactics have come up with.
My post from a related thread:
Hey Nasrallah!
All of Hajj Imad killings of innocent people has been “outside the natural battlefield”!!!
And since you’ve suddenly developed a fondness for “the natural battlefield”, I hear a voice from Israel shouting, “Come on Down!”.
The best part of this is that it undoes all the work Condi Rice did to try and facilitate the suicidal “return” of the Golan Heights.
Debka, World Net Daily, National Enquirer ...so many rags so little time.
On another thread this morning we learned that both Hillary and Hussein have reps in Syria now. Who side are the DIMWIT’s on?
My first reaction is ‘Bring it on’!
But after the Isreali’s ‘success’ in the short war with Hezbollah last year (2 years ago?), I’m not so sure they are really up to the task.
Hillary and Barry are on the side of any country that hates Bush.
Debka, the only source you can trust...
