Report: Hezbollah man says new attack on Israel is question of 'when, not if'
haaretz ^ | 27/04/2008 | By Haaretz Service

Two years after the Second Lebanon War, the Iranian-backed Hezbollah organization has bolstered its recruitment efforts at an unprecedented rate in preparation for a fresh war with Israel, The Guardian reported Sunday.

The report quoted an unnamed Hezbollah fighter as saying: "It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah [Hezbollah chief] commands us" to attack.

According to the report, the Islamist group has of late been sending "hundreds, if not thousands" of recruits to training camps in Lebanon, Syria and Iran in ancticipation of conflict with Israel. Advertisement "The villages in the south are empty of men," an international official was quoted as saying. "They are all gone, training in Bekaa, Syria and Iran."

Retaliation is also a matter of “when”, not if.

1967 and 1973 will seem like just practice.

These people just are NOT smart about poking sticks at the Israeli beehive.,

Hezbollah ought to get an early start on digging graves for their miscreants - they’re going to fill all of them and more.

In the last war with Hezbolla, Israel made a terrible mistake. They allowed the conflict to take place ONLY in Southern Lebanon, where the Hezbolla soldiers were. They let their enemy determine the place of battle and this was a terrible error. The lives of those Israeli soldiers were wasted. Hezbolla is still alive and well. Those that planned and ordered the war against Israel were safe in Damascus and Tehran.

If there is a next war, Israel must cut off the heads of the snakes to kill them.

“If you are not willing to kill your enemy and all that stand with him, surrender to him for he as already defeated you.” (Stolen from River Rats home page)
