In light of the news the past few days in the region, thought this warranted posting. This is an unannounced "drill" and police and security forces are deploying across the country. Probably just an exercise but it could be to get police and military in place to protect after an attack. It is just odd that they didn’t announce it and that it is nation wide. One eye witness said he has never seen anything like it.

1. terror warning for Israelis to leave the Siani and come home Tuesday 2. Scud missiles delivered to Hezbollah from Syria 3. Lots of talk today that Israel may attack Syria and Lebanon for the transfer of the SCUDs 4 Surprise nation wide exercise deplying police forces everywhere and bringing the nation to a halt. 5.Bibi cancels trip to attend nuke summit

May turn out to be nothing but seems like a lot of interesting things going on right now.

All seems too coincidental to me.

Also, a nation wide drill like this is nothing to be taken lightly. This could be expensive from the standpoint of productivity so I imagine it was carefully considred first.

"It's unclear why they didn't announce it in advance," he said. "I would have stayed home."

I think the second part of his statement makes it very clear why they didn't announce it in advance.

covert op covered by an exercise IMO

Something is coming. Pray for Israel to be victorious, and for her enemies (including Barry Hussein Obama) to be humiliated and beaten.

I think Israel going forward will be among the safest countries to live in.

The people are united, educated, share and respect a common culture, and are prepared for the worst.

Drill schmill. It's something more. Nothing to see here ... move along ... right after you do EVERYTHING we tell you to do first so we can make sure you're not the terrorist we're actually hunting....

Eyewitness: I've never seen anything like it.

That's what the Iranians will be saying soon.

Good analysis.

This was either 1) Preparation for what's coming. 2) A message. 3) Cover for something else that's really going on.

Likelihood in that order, approximately. Or, it could be a combination.

I'd be really, really worried if I was anywhere near the ME right now.

Hmmm. Well, when you’ve been backed into a corner and you’ve got nothing to lose, you’ve got nothing to lose. Go Israel! And go Bibi!

[Republic of Texas]

I’m surprised they don’t do this more often.

[gathersnomoss]

Don’t worry Israel, The Valley Girl has your back...just as “HE” is watching over AmeriKa.

[DoughtyOne]

I don’t like seeing Israel have to enter this period without bunker-busters. I hope they have procured or developed some so that they can decimate Hezbollah’s stores in short order.

Dear Lord, please watch over Israel and keep her safe from the enemies that surround her—and please forgive the person in our White House who has turned his back on Israel so grievously—please do not count that against the majority of AMERICANS who support Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu as they do whatever it takes to protects themselves!

Praying for the peace of Jerusalem, which will NEVER occur as long as Muslims occupy the Temple Mount—

Amen!

Interesting.

[autumnraine]

Yeah, this is all too coincidental.

[Prospero]

Undoubtedly the Cabinet in Tel Aviv needed Ground Truth on its real ability to withstand missile attacks on the heart of the nation. Syrians shipping scuds to Hizb'allah in southern Lebanon, and the American government's inexplicable tying the status of Jerusalem to Iranian nuclear weapons development.

"Interesting" doesn't begin to describe the situation.
