Lebanon, Syria: The Resistance Strikes Back
Around noon local time today Hizbullah attacked an Israeli military convoy in the occupied Sheeba farm area. Hizbullah released a statement claiming to have hit several Israeli vehicles with Kornet anti-tank missiles. The statement was labeled as "No. 1". Hizbullah obviously expects the situation to further escalate and to release further statements. It claims that the attack killed several Israeli soldiers. Israel's censors have so far not revealed the number of casualties on its side.
Last week Israel attacked a convoy in the Golan area in Syria killing Hizbullah fighters and Iranian Revolutionary Guard troops including high ranking officers. The UN declared that the attack was in breach of the 40 year old armistice between Syria and Israel. Before the attack the general situation in the Golan had calmed down. After the unprovoked attack Hizbullah and Iran threatened to respond. But Israel was not deterred.
Yesterday two un-aimed rockets were fired from the Syrian side of the Golan demarcation line, probably by Syrian Fee Army or Jabhat al-Nusra fighters which partially occupy the Syrian side and receive logistic and armed help from Israel. The rockets fell into open field and left no damage. The Israeli military responded with artillery fire on a Syrian army headquarter. Its twisted logic says that any attack on the Israeli side from Syria, even when done by Israel supported insurgents, is the responsibility of the Syrian army.
Tonight Israel again escalated the situation with an airforce attack on a Syrian army position in the Golan. Today's attack on the Israeli convoy is the (deserved) response for the various Israeli peace violations.
Israel responded to today's attack by firing some 30+ missiles and artillery rounds into Lebanon. One Spanish UN peacekeeper was killed when the well known UN position was hit by Israeli fire.
Hizbullah's intention is to re-introduce "rules of the game" and to deter any further Israeli attacks on Syria and Lebanon. It will take some serious damage and casualties on the Israeli side before Netayahoo, currently attempting to get reelected, will accept such.

It’s quite odd that some people here seem to desire a widening conflict in southern Lebanon and actually think that Hezbollah could invade Israeli held territory. Lebanon is very fragile and any major disruption in the south could cause major disruption elsewhere. This could also open up the country to renewed attacks from the IS and al-Nusra if the Lebanese Army is drawn into a conflict with Israel.
Brigadier-General Itai Brun, head of military intelligence research at the Zionist entity occupation army, recently stated Hezbollah troops will invade the entity’s territories in any upcoming conflict between them. He went further and stated Hezbollah will defeat them through a war of attrition and heavy losses. It is not odd then, that some posters believe Hezbollah could invade Zionist entity territory in any new war. Lebanon has always been very fragile, and was always very exposed to the Zionist entity military designs until the appearance of Hezbollah. Remember Shabra and Shatila? Hezbollah was only emerging when that massacre happened, otherwise the results would have been very different altogether. Hezbollah is the backbone of Lebanon’s defense and Shaykh Hassan Nasrallah a trusted military strategist and statesman in Lebanon and beyond by all parties, friends and enemies. He anticipated the AQ takfiris fighting in Syria would eventually invade Lebanon, and went out to meet them, altering the strategic balance in favor of Syria. After ISIS declared the “caliphate” in Syraq, critics of Hezbollah begin to see the light, and Lebanon’s government and army saw the danger in full. Your fears of “renewed attacks” by ISIS/AN takfiris have already been calculated into the equation by Hezbollah. Long ago they realize the Zionist entity and the takfiris were one and the same, bastard children of the empire of chaos. Nasrallah had already said they could fight the Zionist entity and the takfiris, no problem. In the meantime, Hezbollah is graduating from a highly sophisticated guerrilla to a battle-hardened army, a necessary step in facing the Zionist entity.

Legal? We live in a world where legal is outlawed and illegal is the norm.
Agreed, but for those concerned about legal issues, the Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement condemning the Zionist army bombing of Lebanon, further stating that, “The operation has been launched from the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms and targeted an Israeli military convoy that was present on the Lebanese occupied soil,” the ministry said, stressing that the attack did not violate the Blue Line that was demarcated by the U.N. following the 2006 war.

So, Hezbollah took care of covering all angles of the attack, even the legality of it, preempting the usually vociferous critics in Lebanon, US/Eurostan/Saudi agents. Yes, war is hell and all that jazz, and any reasonable person would certainly hope the recent spat doesn’t escalate further into a full blown war, but no one can accuse Nasrallah of being a warmonger, differently from the Zionist entity. Yesterday’s strike against the Zionist entity was different from the operation that ignited the 2006 Summer War. That operation didn’t have a context, it came out of nowhere, a lightning in a clear sky. Hezbollah’s latest attack had already been announced, and as much as Netayahoo/Lieberman/Ya’alon/Livni bark at the moon, they were expecting it. Your prayers for “cooler heads” to prevail might have been answered, according to “The Times of Israel,”
…Reports late on Wednesday said that Hezbollah and Israel had agreed, via UN peacekeepers in the Golan Heights, to consider the latest violent flare-up over. After consulting his security chiefs, Netanyahu reportedly decided not to further escalate the situation, and it was assumed that Hezbollah would make a similar choice though the situation remained highly tense and unpredictable…

Let’s hope for the best, and prepare for the worst.
PS: Hoping for the best, Spain just blamed Israel at the UNSC for the killing of a Spanish UNIFIL member. That’s the first positive result on an international level of Hezbollah’s operation. and it is telling of the Zionist entity downgraded stance on foreign affairs.
