Report: Israel Warns Hizbullah of Hostile Actions in Golan
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Israel reportedly expressed readiness to increase tension along the border with Lebanon to block the road on Hizbullah's movement and expansion in Syria, in particular in the Golan Heights.
Western diplomatic sources quoted high-ranking Israeli officials as saying that the developments in the Golan are planned by the Islamic Republic of Iran and directly linked to the negotiations over Tehran's nuclear program.
World powers are trying to strike a deal with Iran that would prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear bomb in return for an easing of punishing international economic sanctions.
Israel has repeatedly warned that Iran's nuclear program has military objectives, a claim Tehran denies.
The sources stressed, according to al-Liwaa newspaper published on Tuesday, that Hizbullah will be considered behind any hostile action against Israeli troops or settlements near the Golan.
Israel also warned that it would retaliate to any aggression.
The threats come after a Hizbullah strike in January which killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded seven others in the occupied Shebaa Farms.
Hizbullah said the operation was in response to a deadly Israeli air raid that killed six of its fighters, including prominent members, in Syria's Quneitra.
The sources pointed out that prominent Lebanese and Hizbullah officials have been informed about the Israeli warnings, remarking that the threats shouldn't be taken for granted to avert any destructive retaliation.
On Monday, an Israeli military vessel violated Lebanon's territorial waters at dawn, threatening a Lebanese fishing boat.
The Lebanese army said in a communique that the vessel crossed 10 meters into Lebanon's waters and threatened the crew of a Lebanese fishing boat.
The southern border area witnessed last week intensified Israeli movement as troops and armored vehicles combed the border area.
Israeli troops regularly cross the electronic border fence and sometimes enter Lebanese territory through the U.N.-demarcated Blue Line, which was drawn up following Israel’s withdrawal from south Lebanon in 2000 after a 22-year occupation.
The fence runs parallel to the Blue Line.

Both are foreigners occupying land that's not their own. Both are equally as manipulative and arrogant, and now the natives of both of these lands are stuck paying for their foreign problems...nice work guys.

Let them warn away, those warnings falls onto deaf ears. Zionists wants to remove the Resistance no matter what, either it's fight on their feet, or follow M14 & bow on our knees. Second option is not acceptable, Zionists are paranoid the resistance are getting too close to their borders in Syria.

Ah my dear Mystic, Israel only wants to backup Hezbollah and not as you're trying to tell us. Birds of the same feathers flock together, ma heyk ya akh? Why don't you guys come back home, and join hands with your Lebanese siblings, the challenges awaiting us Lebanese are many to say the least, why don;t we all unite and forge into the same direction instead of us all pulling into different directions? Leave lands that don't belong to us, come back home and join the fold. Israel will one day dump you, just beware when you near the expiry date they have printed on your backs, that's all.

Yes Phoenix, Israel would very much like to dump the Resistance in the fire. They tried so in during their occupation in Lebanon, they tried again in 2006 when your people cheered them, and prayed for the IDF to finish the job.
Then in 2008 they tried to use the M14 to muscle out the Resistance, they thought they had weakened in 2006. Yet you failed once again ya phoenix.
About unity, I'm not going to shake any hands that wants to do business with either Israel or the U.S. If it is about the LAF only, I've always been in that fold.

Ofcourse Hezbollah will be considered hostile for all attacks on Israel, the Resistance are the only ones fighting them, while Al Nusra does all they can to protect IDF soldiers, they just behead LAF soldiers never IDF.
