Israeli general warns against any attack from Lebanon
The commander of the Israeli army’s northern front has warned against any attack from Lebanon, following the recent rocket attack from Syria that targeted the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights.
“After 19 years, we returned to war in Lebanon. We did not stop until the equation was reversed, and we will not allow the equation to be reversed again. These days, we continue to preserve our achievements and thwart and prevent any threat,” Northern Command chief Ori Gordin said at a ceremony marking the 19th anniversary of the 2006 war with Hezbollah.
“If anyone makes a mistake … and shoots at us as happened last night from Syria, we will respond to them in kind and pursue them and those who sent them relentlessly, and this will be a clear message to all our enemies,” Gordin added.
An Israeli security source meanwhile told Al-Arabiya's Al-Hadath channel that "Iran, Hezbollah and those linked to (ousted Syrian President Bashar) al-Assad are trying to obstruct stability in Syria."
"The current Syrian administration had nothing to do with the firing of rockets from south Syria," the source added.

Good enemies are hard to come by; at least we understand each other from opposite sides of a border separating us. The clarity of consequence helps in good decision-making by people on each side of the border.
Lebanon's problem is not as much our enemy to the South, but our supposed friends who ignore what Lebanon's enemies have to say, for their own sake and reasons.
Persian adventurers need to stop visiting to assert policies loyal Iranian partners should follow. Respect for Lebanon and Lebanese precludes such attempts to control the choices and behavior of people living in-country. Pursuing ideals that encourage Lebanon's enemies to make war on Lebanese soil is not in our interests.
I worry more about friends I cannot trust with my self-interest or the well-being of my children or my neighbors. I worry about who lives among us ... less about enemies "over there, across the border to the South"

The general said he would personally kill two Gazans for every missile launched at Israel from Lebanon. He said he had this black thing slung over his shoulder which has something to do with killing innocent people. He added, "I don't know, I just do what I'm told, and I never try to establish anybody's authority in anything: that would be madness in Israel."
