Hezbollah reacts to Israeli photo release

[Iran Press TV Latest] Hezbollah has the intelligence necessary to fight back against Israel in the case of any new Israeli offensive against Lebanon, a senior official says.

The remark by Hezbollah's commander in southern Lebanon, Sheikh Nabil Qaouq, came after Israel's military, in a rare move, released a number of maps and aerial photographs showing that Hezbollah has moved most of its facilities into southern Lebanon near the Israeli border, claiming that the resistance movement is preparing for war.

"Let the Israeli leaders know that the Resistance also has a bank of targets," Lebanon's Ya Libnan newspaper quoted Qaouq as saying on Sunday.

Analysts believe that the publication of the intelligence by the Israeli military is aimed at preparing public opinion for a future war.

Hezbollah's Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem said on Friday that Tel Aviv would suffer huge losses if it wages another war on Lebanon.

Israel fought a 33-day war against Hezbollah in the summer of 2006 to destroy the military power of the Lebanese resistance.

Tel Aviv was eventually forced to leave the region without achieving any of its objectives and after suffering a humiliating defeat.

The carnage destroyed most of Lebanon's infrastructure and claimed the lives of more than 1,200 Lebanese, mainly civilians.
...which was a humiliating defeat for Israel. Yep. Nothing is more humiliating than utterly destroying your enemies, with virtually no losses. Yeah, all those dead Hezbies really showed Israel who is boss! (I swear, you can't make this shit up).

Analysts are morons then, because the reason to do this is to get the Hezbies to know that their shit is at risk if they start anything. Now they have to spend the next month moving their shit someplace else. With the Hezbies' shit all kombobulated for the next few weeks, the Israelis have full flexitude to kick Iranian butts without much concern about missiles from Lebanon.

Shame that the Syrian Army drills are being canceled because of bad hummus or something. Not much to worry about from that quarter.

You would think that Bibi would go and see the Pharaoh, just to warn him about some possible stuff about to go on. Oh, right he's doing that.

Next thing you know some Arab country making a ton of money on oil like Dubai, Iraq or Saudi would pop off about how Iran is doing wrong and needs a spanking. Oh, right. Got that last week.

All Israel needs to do now is some sort of quick-crazy to tie down Gaza and then they have a two week free pass to open a few cold cans of whup-ass on the Iranian leadership and oil infrastructure.
