Israeli report: War with Lebanon very likely, UNIFIL at Blue Line 'ineffective'

W460

UNIFIL will be Hezbollah's "shield" in the next conflict between Lebanon and Israel, Israeli newspaper The Jerusalem Post said.

"The likelihood of that potential conflict has grown due to the Lebanese Army subservience to Hezbollah, and UNIFIL irrelevance and dereliction of mission to prevent the resumption of hostilities," the daily added.

The report warned that the rise in the number of Hezbollah military collection sites on the boundary between Israel and Lebanon, known as the Blue Line is "alarming" and is "a clear and present danger to northern Israel."

"This recreates a tactical reality mirroring the Hezbollah disposition prior to July 2006 (the Second Lebanon War) and is a clear and present danger to northern Israel," the report said.

One thing is certain if no agreement is reached and war with Hizballah breaks out.
That one thing is that work at the Karish Field will continue, whereas Qara will not even start up, once again losing millions of income for the Lebanese economy.
Is this what the Lebanese Government really wants?

You underestimate how much Israel will lose in the process, Lebanons economy is already in tatters, but Israel have everything more to lose, the zionists love for money is their greatest weakness.

You over-estimate the value a Shia-embraced race-the-bottom holds for citizens of Lebanon.

No other group wants either what Shia long-for or for the implications of getting even half of such a meal ... non-Shia Lebanese's bodies involuntarily convulse at first swallow.

For everyone else, what is most desired by Syria and Iran is least desired by Free Lebanese.

"Resistance" is a lie, and you are a liar.

Lebanon must go to the UNSC and insist that Resolution 1701 is strictly enforced.

Insist that Resolution 1701 is strctly enforced.
Presumably you mean making sure that Hizballah is made to withdraw from south Lebanon to across the Litani and forced to disarm.

As long as Iranians and their uneducated stooges rule Lebanon, there is a risk of war.
