Hezbullah: We have a list of targets too
Hezbullah has warned that it too has a list of targets in Israel in the event of another war between the Jewish state and the terror organization. A senior Hezbollah official warned Sunday that the Lebanon-based guerilla group has a list of military targets inside Israel that they could attack in any future war.Actually, on the Gregorian calendar, Monday is the 4th anniversary.
Hezbollah commander in south Lebanon, Sheik Nabil Kaouk, made his comments Sunday in response to this week's release by Israel's military of maps and previously classified aerial photographs of what it described as a network of Hezbollah weapons depots and command centers in south Lebanon.
In a briefing to journalists last week, Israel Defense Forces Colonel Ronen Marley presented the detailed maps and 3-D simulations to show what he said was a unit of 90 Hezbollah militants operating in the village of Al-Hiyam, where they were storing weapons close to hospitals and schools.
Kaouk told the state news agency on Sunday that the Israeli leaders were trying to restore their confidence by presenting a list of targets in southern Lebanon after the Israeli public opinion lost faith in the army.
The official noted that the Israeli announcement was made on the four-year anniversary of the Second Lebanon War, in which Hezbollah battled Israel to a stalemate.
I would bet on the IDF being much better prepared this time than it was four years ago.

How lovely.
Of course, don't ask Ehud Barak to explain to explain he abandoned southern Lebanon to Hezbollah under the pressure of the media and the Four Mothers than fight back against Hezbollah. At the time one or two Israeli soldiers were killed and even that might have been eliminated had Israel fought back. Let's note that at the height of its efficiency, 3,000 Jews a day were killed in Auschwitz. Looking back on it, it seems incredible a small country like Israel didn't have the nerve to sustain 60 deaths a year for its long term security. More people than that die in auto accidents every year in Israel.
Which brings us to the looming Hezbollah threat that hangs over the Jewish State today. All because Barak made the wrong decision a decade ago and no one will bother asking if it could and perhaps should - have been a different one.
