Hezbollah vows revenge, says attack on Israel 'is inevitable' - http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Hezbollah-vows-revenge-says-attack-on-Israel-is-inevitable-388194
Hezbollah officials vowed on Monday to avenge the latest Israeli attack on its high-level officials, sources close to the Lebanese Shi'ite organization are quoted as saying in various Arab-language media outlets north of the border.
One pro-Hezbollah source told the Lebanese daily A-Safir that the group "will not rush to decide what steps should be taken" in retaliation to the assassination of Jihad Mughniyeh, the son of slain arch-terrorist Imad Mughniyeh.
Hezbollah officials told the newspaper that retaliation against Israel "is inevitable," though they added that "we will not act out of emotion."
The Shi'ite group is reeling one day after Israel Air Force helicopters allegedly fired missiles at a target in the Syrian Golan, killing at least five operatives.
Mughniyeh, the son of former Hezbollah operations chief Imad Mughniyeh, was among those killed in the strike, according to reports. Western intelligence sources said Jihad Mughniyeh headed a large-scale terrorist cell that enjoyed direct Iranian sponsorship and a direct link to Hezbollah. The cell had already targeted Israel in the past, launching attacks on the Golan Heights.
In an official statement, the organization said the attack "was a very harsh blow to process."
Ibrahim al-Amin, the editor of Al-Akhbar, a pro-Hezbollah newspaper, wrote in Monday editions that the Shi'ite group "will launch between 4,000-5,000 rockets at Israel and will destroy hundreds of targets per day."
"The enemy's leadership made a decision to carry out a crime," Al-Akhbar wrote. "They did this in a direct manner, eying a specific target that was engaged in fighting in the Quneitra region. This is more proof that Israel is involved in the fighting in Syria. This is work that is not based on emotion or petty score-settling."
"A few days ago, [Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan] Nasrallah said that fighting Israel is at the top of his list of priorities despite [the organization's involvement] in Syria and its deployment of forces there. Mr. Nasrallah is known as an eloquent man and an expert in psychological warfare, but God knows if he means every word he says, or the way he presents his facts is designed to build up the threat for the day in which he actualizes it."
"In any event, the weapons at Hezbollah's disposal are there to be used, and not to be stored," the newspaper wrote. "The response needs to match what it is that the enemy wanted to achieve."
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, told state media that Israel's reported attack in the Golan Heights was "an act of terror."
"We condemn all actions of the Zionist regime as well as all acts of terror," Zarif told Press TV on Monday. "[Israeli attacks on Hezbollah] has been a practice followed for a very long time. The policy of state terrorism is a known policy of the Zionist regime."
Iran is Hezbollah's primary financial and military supporter. Both countries are aiding Syrian President Bashar Assad in his struggle to keep power against a coalition of Sunni opposition militias and Islamist radicals.
Iran's semi-official Tabnak news site said several of its Revolutionary Guards had also been killed in the attack, but did not give further details. State-run Iranian television said the identity of the "martyrs" could not be confirmed, though an Iranian affiliated Twitter account reported that an Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander, General Allahdadi was "martyred" by the strike.
Israel braces for early payback for deaths of Hezbollah officers, Iranian general on Golan - http://www.debka.com/article/24350/Israel-braces-for-early-payback-for-deaths-of-Hizballah-officers-Iranian-general-on-Golan
The dominant IDF assessment Monday, Jan. 19, is that Hezbollah will not hold off its rejoinder for the Israeli helicopter missile strike on the Golan Sunday, which targeted an advance guard and caused the deaths of five Hezbollah and six Iranian army officers. Tehran confirmed Monday that Gen. Mohammad Ali Allah Dadi was among the officers killed in the Israel attack..
Iran's National Security Adviser Rear Adm. Ali Shamkhani responded with a pledge of punishment for the death of Gen. Allah Dadi. "The resistance will respond by force at an appropriate time and place for the "Zionist terrorist entity's aggression," he said.
Israeli military chiefs are gearing up for an early Hezbollah cross-border attack on Upper or Western Galilee and have instructed local security units to stand ready, open up emergency shelters and prepare their firearm arsenals. At Monday noon, Galilee district commander Brig. Gen. Amir Baram assembled Galilee mayors and local council heads at his Biranit headquarters and issued them with crisis directives for the population of a quarter of a million under their jurisdiction.
Even more than a Hezbollah rocket attack, this population is gravely concerned by fear of terrorist tunnels running under the border from Lebanon and coming out under their homes. The IDF has never confirmed the existence of these tunnels and may not have located them. However, since last summer's Operation Defensive Edge against the Palestinian Hamas, and the discovery of their uncharted tunnels snaking under the Gaza-Israeli border into neighboring kibbutzim, people living in the north dread that Hezbollah has taken a leaf out of Hamas' book of terror.
They found confirmation for their dread in statements Monday in the Lebanese Hezbollah mouthpiece Al Akhbar: "Israel will not be able to prevent Hezbollah from sending its forces into Galilee" and "We shall hit back for the Quneitra strike very soon."
But, barring the unlikely eventuality of Hezbollah opening up a full-front assault on Galilee, the pro-Iranian Shiite terrorist group has two options for sending send its forces across the border into Galilee, debkafile's military experts report: By seizing control of a single Israeli location or district close to the Lebanese border, or pushing a force into Israel through prepared tunnels.
Asked by a Voice of Israel radio broadcaster Monday about the existence of such tunnels, the Israeli Defense Minister's political adviser Amos Gilead hedged: "It is always necessary to look into this," he said. But he did not deny that they existed.
Al Akhbar also quoted Hezbollah as declaring, "The two fronts against northern Israel have merged and are equal." In fact, it was pointed out, a single, continuous anti-Israel front line runs from the south Lebanese-Israeli border in the west to its eastern point on the Syrian Golan.
Hezbollah, which takes its orders from Tehran, is clearly determined to establish a military presence on the Syrian Golan as a second warfront for launching a two-pronged simultaneous assault on Israel, and is bent on forcing its acceptance down Israel's throat.
But Israel is making no bones about its non-acceptance and demonstrated its determination to make this deployment untenable by its deadly assault Sunday on the Iranian-Hezbollah advance group that was checking out a site near Quneitra for Hezbollah future offensive deployment.
Israel at War... again - J.L. Robb - http://www.omegaletter.com/articles/articles.asp?ArticleID=7974
This is hardly news. They seem to have always been at war with someone. Following the history of the Children of Israel back to its roots, Abraham would probably be shaking his head today. Talk about sibling rivalry.
Think about this parenting problem: You have two sons, and they want to kill each other, especially one. That son loves controversy and fighting, and killing. This is the root of why sex-slave trading and murder is so prevalent today in many Islamic-ruled countries.
Western leaders have been reluctant to call the enemy of the civilized and uncivilized world, what it is. They seem to be afraid if the I-word, especially in the United States. We apparently believe that there is just all sorts of different ethnic terrors going on in the world, but when asked, they make a ludicrous reference to the Crusades or the Ku Klux Klan, or Hitler.
Picture this situation:
The six men drive to the woods, exited the trucks and wait patiently during the late afternoon. Finally their patience pays off when the family returns from synagogue. The men fervently believe the synagogue is the Church of Hell, and it is their duty to rid the planet of these people.
As the family prepares for bed, the men break in, guns to the ready. They have covered their heads, except for the small eye slits and are unrecognizable.
"Convert or die," one of the terrorists yells, but the family refuses.
The next day the bodies are found, each one executed cruelly, dispassionately.
If this scenario happened at the hands of the KKK, the media would break a leg reporting on the Christian Militant Group that had struck once again. Only the Christians took care of that problem for the most part many years ago.
Israel is not at war with the KKK or any "Christian militant group." Though it is an undeclared war, like Viet Nam, it is a war nonetheless; and it is a war against their sibling descendants of Abraham. They are genetically half-brothers of the descendants of Ishmael, Abraham's other son. That would be the Arab Muslims.
About 3,500 years ago, a nomadic people comprised of twelve individual tribes left Egypt, finally freed from 400+ years of slavery and made their way into a no man's land of sorts. It surely did not appear to be a land of milk and honey. The Israelis, because of their doubts about the God who freed them from slavery, spent an extra four decades wandering the desert, maintaining until God was ready to end the discipline.
I hear some people say, "God doesn't not punish us." That of course would mean He doesn't love us, at least according to Proverbs. God disciplines those He loves, and we should be thankful for it. The Israelis were not. They were a rebellious group of people, not dissimilar to their half-brothers today. Fervent. Zealous.
There is a difference though, many. God did not ask the Israelis to go throughout the world and share the Hebrew religion. His intention was for the Israelis to keep His teachings for themselves. They were His babies, His children; and He loved them no matter how much they misbehaved. And He disciplined them. Is He preparing to discipline them again?
ISIS Closing in on Israel from the North and South
Last week it was reported that ISIS has expanded to southern Syria with Damascus in its sights. This is interesting in many ways, but that it's happening at all is an amazing circumstance Who ever heard of ISIS a year ago? They came out of nowhere, like a thief in the night. Now they could be Israel's greatest threat.
Robert Spencer, publisher of Jihad Watch has warned many times in numerous articles of the coming invasion attempt.
Will the United States support Israel in this coming war? I am not so sure we will. If it happens prior to January 2017, probably not.
According to a report in Yahoo Finance, three Syrian rebel groups have now joined ISIS and are patrolling the border between Syria and the Golan Heights. This ISIS group to the north of Israel could coordinate with their ISIS buddies in the Egyptian Sinai to the south, threatening Israel from the north and the south. Isn't there something about this in the Bible? Zechariah said this, speaking in the first person for God:
"I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. Zechariah 12: 2, 3 NIV
According to al-Monitor:
"Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis emerged on the jihadist scene in Egypt following the revolution of January 2011. In the beginning, the group was focused on Israel, in particular bombing the gas pipeline between Israel and Egypt. Its operations have gone beyond the Egyptian-Palestinian borders."
Wait, wasn't that the President's Arab Spring thing going on in January 2011? The uprising against tyranny? The overthrow of our Egyptian allies? Yes, that foreign policy tactic worked well for us. We, the United States, have assisted the enemies of Israel at nearly every turn the past six years. Is Iran closer than ever to the bomb? I think so.
In one way I agree with the President: Where exactly are the European fighting forces? Where are all these moderate Arab forces? Why must the United States once again pick up the task? Because they will not.
France has moved an aircraft carrier. Oh boy. I bet ISIS is shaking in their boots. We will have meetings with other leaders on ways to negotiate peace. Peace with who? Peace with what? Cancer? We want to make peace with the world's cancer. President Obama's "coalition of Arab forces" has not played out well, except in photo ops.
And the beat goes on.
It will be interesting to watch the next two years as biblical predictions, one after another, play out in front of the eyes of those who have read these predictions. It is absolutely amazing. Keep an eye out for the reconstruction of the Third Temple. There is already a replica of the Second Temple being constructed for "training purposes."
