Israel ready for war with Lebanon?
The Lebanese news site Naharnet reports that according to a French official, Israel is ready to go to war with Lebanon. As-Safir newspaper on Wednesday quoted a French official, who has returned from a tour of the region that included north of Palestine, as saying that "Israel is ready for war against Lebanon."When the enemy starts making up all kinds of things you're doing to prepare to confront them, that's deterrence! (Okay, maybe we have done all this stuff, but I haven't seen it, and given what Hezbullah allegedly has, it's not just the northern border that needs to be ready).
The official said the Israelis told him that they have completed in recent months their military and civil preparations and that the infrastructure and shelters in the north of Palestine, especially the settlements adjacent to the border with Lebanon, were now ready to confront the prospect of war at any moment.
He said the Israelis have completed a series of exercises aimed at testing the ability of staff and new army units in the Northern Corps, which has been rebuilt, on the implementation of plans prepared against Hizbullah as soon as possible.
The French source said the maneuvers, latest of which was carried out in February, was based on confronting a series of networks of advanced missiles and the intensity of firepower that could threaten Israel's security, in addition to long-range missiles and air defense systems.

Israel needs to be prepared.
As the Roman historian Tacitus noted, to have peace, prepare for war.
And so Israel is ready for whatever might happen in or with Lebanon.
