Twenty years after Hezbollah guerrillas pushed Israel’s last troops from southern Lebanon, both sides are gearing up for a possible war that neither seems to want.
Israeli troops are striking Hezbollah targets in neighboring Syria and drilling for what could be an invasion of Lebanon. Hezbollah is beefing up its own forces and threatening to invade Israel. The bitter enemies routinely exchange warnings and threats.
“We are preparing seriously for the next war. We’re not taking any shortcuts because we understand we have to be extremely strong to defeat the enemy,” said Col. Israel Friedler, an Israeli commander who has been overseeing a weeks-long exercise simulating war with Hezbollah at a base in northern Israel.
Hezbollah emerged as a ragtag guerrilla group in the 1980s, funded by Iran to battle Israeli troops occupying southern Lebanon. A protracted guerrilla war, characterized by roadside bombs and sniper attacks, eventually forced Israel to withdraw in May 2000. With the exception of an inconclusive, monthlong war in 2006, the volatile frontier has largely remained calm.

Heads up, guys (and gals).
Secular Jews do not know this, but the answer is that God will accomplish that in zHis own time.

“threatening to invade Israel”.....
Do the idiots realize if they invade Israel, they risk facing the USA???
There are NO Left Geniuses.
Because the Bible.
The Hezbollah may have come to the conclusion that an invasion of Israel is a now or never situation. They may sense that the Iranian people have had enough of the mullahs and are going to throw them out of power. Their money stream is about to dry up. It will be a suicide invasion if they attempt it.
“Twenty years after Hezbollah guerrillas pushed Israel’s last troops from southern Lebanon, both sides are gearing up for a possible war that neither seems to want.”
The statement is factually wrong. Israel merely withdrew, by its own choice. That was based on following a U.N. resolution where that withdrawal was to also mean silence of Hezbolla activity attacking Israel from Lebanon. It was also a choice of Israel at the time because popular sentiment in Israel wanted the withdrawal.
The words in the leading text of the article give more credit to Hezbolla than they are due.
