Jerusalem Post: Israel Preparing for War against Hizbullah or Iran
The Israeli army is conducting intense training over a possible strike against Iran, which may possibly lead to a war with Hizbullah, reported the Jerusalem Post on Saturday.
The training comes at a time when the media spotlight has focused on a possible war between Iran and the Jewish state over the former’s nuclear ambitions.
A war against Iran also entails preparing for a war with Iran’s close ally Hizbullah, added the Israeli newspaper.
The army is focusing on achieving a victory against the party should a war erupt with it, it said.
A high-ranking army officer stressed that the army is working on being as prepared as possible should a war break out, said Jerusalem Post.
On Tuesday, a U.N. report said there was "credible" evidence suggesting Iran's atomic program was being used to research putting nuclear warheads in ballistic missiles.
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warned on Friday that “a war against Iran and Syria will not remain limited to Iran and Syria,” and that it would rather spread to the entire region.
