US intelligence finds 5,000 Hizballah training to seize Galilee towns
DEBKAfile ^ | 01 FEB 2010 | DEBKAfile

Posted on 02/08/2010 11:39:43 AM PST by BCW

Jones was not talking out of the top of his head, but on the strength of solid US intelligence gathered over months on detailed war plans Iran, Syria, Hizballah and Hamas have drawn up to send five Hizballah brigades sweeping across the border to seize five sectors of Galilee, while also organizing a massive Israeli-Arab uprising against the Jewish state. Hamas would open a second front in the south and in the east. Syria is expected to step in at some stage. This plan with attached special map was first published exclusively by DEBKA-Net-Weekly 430 on Jan. 22, 2010. Key excerpts appear here.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards instructors at especially established training facilities near Tehran are already well advanced in training a cadre of 5,000 Hizballah fighters in special operations and urban combat tactics to standards equivalent to those current in similar US and Israeli military forces.

IIRC, Hezbollah has laid a whole bunch of land mines around the Golan.

07/02/2010 “11-year old seriously hurt in Golan land mine blast”

From the article it sounds like it might have been an IDF land mine.

I seriously doubt that. Who did the judging?

Also from Debka - quanity not mentioned - meanwhile Iran sent Syria 100 millsels - type not mentioned.

Syria slips HizballahFateh-110 (Syrian-made ) missiles able to destroy Israeli cities

...a solid-fuel propellant, road-mobile, single-stage, short-range ballistic system weighing three tons with a half-ton warhead and a range of 250 kilometers. It is not deployed in surface batteries but fired from mobile launchers, which the solid propellant renders capable of firing at speed with little advance preparation, before returning to the fortified underground silos Hizballah has sunk in mountain areas across Lebanon...

Maybe this is the punch that Ayatollah Khameini warned about earlier today. A Syrian and Hezbollah attack on Northern Israel. We’ll see. I’m sure israeel is ready for whatever the barbarians are planning. I’m praying for Israel’s success.

Yeah. I couldn’t find the article about the laying of the land mines. SJackson might know.

From what I read, this will be a multi-front assault: north, insurgents on the West Bank, and from the south. And what bothers me most is that it isn’t hush-hush.

I’m thinking the unthinkable here, folks, so bear with me: could small nukes already be situated inside Israel?

Is this, perhaps the advertised February 11 Festivities? If something like does happen I certainly hope the US and Israel use it as the trigger to go ahead and dump their load on Iran. Perhaps it would happen in conjunction with Iran’s announcement of nukes on missiles and an implied or stated dare.

Might not have anything to do with this war. There are stiil mines in the Golan from 1967.

With The One, (who thinks the Muslim caterwaul, aka the call to prayer, is the most beautiful sound on earth) in control of US forces, they are more likely to be used against the Israeli "aggressors" than Iran or even Hzb'allah sites.

How many Israeli Arabs really want to derail their comfy existence by playing 1948-all-over-again?

Probably not many. But just few could make it appear that a major uprising was in progress.

Remember it only took one to kill 14 Americans, including an unborn child, at Ft. Hood. It only took about 20 to kill around 3,000 on 9-11.

Ayatollah Khamenei húa hẹn gửi một cú đánh nặng chống vào miền Tây thế gian vào ngày 11 tháng hai. Khi bị đó thì dầu lập tức rất đắt tiền.

Khi nào Achmadinejad nói to thì có thể không sao. Khi nào Khamenei cũng nói to thì phải có chuyện gì mà nó nghĩ có nặng. Khameniei không thường thót ra đe dọa về nước ngoài..

Remember, our government disarmed all the Good Guys to facilitate this slaughter.

Israel chose the other route. A shooter will draw awesome return fire from all quadrants.

Oh, by the way Switzerland who like Israel arms its citizens hasn’t been conquered in a thousand years.
