Israel’s Next War - Against Syria
5 March 2007Everybody knows that Syria is mostly responsible for Hezbollah’s operations in Lebanon. They might not financially support Hezbollah, but without Syria’s cooperation, Iran wouldn’t be able to get weapons and money to Hezbollah. Syria has been mighty quiet lately, which leads us to believe that something could be in the works. It is known that Syria has moved military infrastructure, including fuel depots, closer to the border with Israel.
Now, according to the IDF, somebody within Syria dumped 10 antipersonnel mines into Israel. It is not know who threw the mines into Israel, but Israel is holding Syria responsible, since the event happened within their borders. Not surprisingly, the United Nations is also partly to blame, because the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) is deployed in Syria to oversee the three decade old ceasefire with Israel. Of course, as is the case in Lebanon, the UN agencies tend to monitor Israel and not the Arab countries, for compliance.
Why do we think Israel’s next war is with Syria? “The Jerusalem Post reported on Friday that Syria has spent the past few months moving infrastructure to, and constructing more along, its southern border that could be used to launch a war against Israel. According to defense officials, the Syrian military has moved military infrastructure, including fuel depots, closer to the border with Israel, and the Syrians have built structures in the area that could serve as weapons storage facilities and military bases. The Syrian army is restricted in the number of troops it is allowed to deploy along the border.”
We hope war can be avoided, but we’ve seen time and time again that the Arab world only respects force. Eventually they will attack Israel again, and once again, Israel will be forced to respond with overwhelming force. Let’s hope we’re wrong…
