One other log to throw on the fire - Syria moving the mines lining the border with the Golan Heights.

I'd class that as "moving ahead regardless," as I strongly suspect that the Syrians' initial plans were predicated on being able to follow in the wake of a large distraction in the form of a massive barrage of Hezbollah rockets.

The IDF's strong response to Hezbollah was strongly out of character for the type of provocation cited. I suspect they had reasons (such as the above) for entering Lebanon in force.

What about this? Bad guys (i.e Iran by way of Syria) try to take the Golan Heights this weekend. If they succeed, all of Israel is in range for whatever they have planned on Tuesday.
