ollah Way
Where the Terrorists and Fanatics Play
And gray skies keep their clouds all Day
When Islamic rebound makes Israel Pay
Four Excerpts From Haaretz Partially Say
Sung to western tune Down Mexico Way!
Hizbullah (With Syrian and Lebanese Approval) will launch a bevy of rockets at Israel into heavily populated Israeli areas. The King of the South (Israel) will respond immediately with a massive thrust from the south across Lebanonâ
€™s northern border. But the bevy of rockets were launched for the sole purpose of forcing the IDF to make the attack in order to lure them into a military trap set by Syria and Hizbullah, with Lebanon’s support. Israel will be shocked to discover they are facing a vast contingency of Islamic troops from several Arab countries, which have slipped across into Syria and Lebanon in several ways over a long period of time.
This massive force, led by the King of the North (Syria) will launch a preplanned vicious counterattack against the King of the South (Israel). What is left of Israel, after being pushed south from Dan to Beersheba, will occupy the Negev Wilderness for some three and one-half years.
Daniel 11:40 – And at THE TIME OF THE END shall the king of the south push (Israel) at him: and the king of the north (Syria) shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
Revelation 12:6 – And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
I expect this attack to occur at some point in time between 2010 and 2015, but I would be delighted to see it happen sooner.

Hezbollah source: ‘Big surprise’ awaits Israel if it attacks Lebanon
By Yoav Stern, Haaretz Correspondent
October 6, 2008
A senior Hezbollah-linked journalist reiterated Monday the Lebanese militia’s threat that a “big surprise” awaits Israel should it decide to engage in another conflict with the group.
Ibrahim al-Amin, the editor of the Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar, made the comments in a piece published under the headline of “Israel is threatening to destroy Lebanon. What will happen to it during wartime?”
Al-Amin, who usually uses reliable sources from within Hezbollah, warned that Israel needs to seriously consider the ramifications of a future attack on Lebanon.
He was responding to recent comments by senior Israel Defense Forces officers that Israel will use “disproportionate power” in its next conflict with Hezbollah as it did in 2006 Second Lebanon War.
“What do they imagine Hezbollah’s reaction will be? They actually say it has 40,000 missiles… Are they preparing for things that they have not considered and that others have not considered?” asked Al-Amin.
“Who said that Hezbollah does not think about all of the options which the enemy will use, including those which have been mentioned recently.”
On Sunday, Hezbollah officials dismissed the Israeli threats of massive destruction in a future conflict in Lebanon as “media war,” speaking to the United Arab Emirates newspaper Al Ittihad

Hezbollah dismisses Israeli threats of destruction in next war
By Yoan Stern and Amos Harel, Haaretz Correspondents
October 5, 2008
Hezbollah officials have dismissed Israeli threats of massive destruction in a future conflict in Lebanon as “media war,” speaking to the United Arab Emirates newspaper Al Ittihad.
The officials said the Lebanon-based militant group is ready for any Israeli assault, including a surprise attack.
They told the paper that Israel is a “cardboard state” that will collapse in a conflict with Hezbollah.
“Israel is wrestling with its many problems and has no capability to start a war over Lebanon,” Al Ittihad quoted them as saying.
The Hezbollah officials were responding to recent comments by senior Israel Defense Forces officers who intimated that the next war will appear very similar to the last one. In particular, GOC Northern Command Gadi Eisenkot spoke of the IDF using of “disproportionate power” as it did in 2006 Second Lebanon War.

Top IDF general: Don’t be fooled by the quiet in the North
By Amir Oren, Haaretz Correspondent
October 2, 2008
The Israel Defense Forces GOC Northern Command has warned against believing that Israel’s peaceful northern border means the country is no longer under threat from Lebanon and Syria.
“The two years that have passed since the end of the [Second Lebanon] War have been characterized by quiet and serenity, but we cannot let the quiet to fool us,” said Maj. Gen. Gadi Eizenkot last week.
Eizenkot issued the warning at a meeting with officers who fought in the Yom Kippur War. The meeting was held in honor of the publication of a new book on the 1973 conflict, titled “The Syrians on the fence: The Northern Command in the Yom Kippur War.”
Referring to the Second Lebanon War, he said that, “I and the commanders under me have no excuse – despite the tough conditions during the outbreak of the 1973 [war] – the Northern Command fulfilled its missions and reached great achievements with only a third of the forces the Command has today.
“One would have expected us to operate more professionally and to reach the necessary achievements in less time.”
Eizenkot explained that deficiencies in speed and professionalism the army displayed during the 34-day conflict with Hezbollah two years ago were due to its fight against Palestinian terror.
“In recent years the IDF’s main strength has been turned toward battling the brutal terror that broke out in October 2000, which caused many casualties. The IDF succeeded in a huge effort to suppress the Palestinian terror in Judea and Samaria, and to block the terror from the Gaza Strip and return security to the streets of the country,” he said.

Hezbollah: Ghajar, Shaba Farms will soon be freed
By Haaretz Service
October 3, 2008
Hezbollah has warned that it will “soon liberate” the contentious Shaba Farms and the divided village of Ghajar, Lebanon’s Daily Star reported on Friday.
Sheikh Nabil Qaouk, Hezbollah’s leader in southern Lebanon, told supporters in the border village of Abbasieh that diplomacy over the areas had failed and the only way to regain control of the land was to use force, according to the report.
“Betting on liberating land via diplomacy and politics is a sterile bet,” the report quoted Qaouk as saying. “The only guaranteed way to recover the remaining occupied land is the resistance and nothing else.”
Qaouk added that Israel understands only the language of force, adding that it was Hezbollah’s national duty to fulfill the achievements it had begun with the Israel Defense Forces’ withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000, according to the report.
“The resistance’s strategy is Lebanon’s main source of power, enabling it to recover the remaining occupied lands,” the report quoted Qaouk as saying.
“We, as Lebanese, are here to confirm that we cling to freeing every grain of our soil. We will not abandon the great national cause, which is the continuation of the liberation of our land,” Qaouk added.
Israel told the United States on Sunday it was prepared to withdraw from the northern part of Ghajar on the Lebanese border, a change in its policy for the past year and a half of not want
ing to discuss the issue.
A government source in Jerusalem said the decision was made after the Lebanese government delivered written assurances that UNIFIL would be given security and civilian control over the northern part of the village, which is in Lebanese territory.
“The Americans have been asking us for a long time to move ahead on the Lebanon issue and after receiving the letter, it was decided to show a more positive stance,” the source also said, referring to the written assurances by Lebanon.
The Israel Defense Forces Planning Branch and the Northern Command are now at work on the details of the withdrawal from the northern part of Ghajar.
Ghajar, located between the Upper Galilee and the Golan Heights, was annexed to Israel in 1981 together with the Golan Heights, and its inhabitants received Israeli citizenship.
After the IDF’s withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000, the UN determined that the border between Israel and Syria crossed the village, and that Israel, which holds the Golan Heights, could operate only in the southern part of the village. However, according to the UN, the IDF frequently operates in the northern part of the village, beyond the international border.
In recent years the village has become a center for smuggling and infiltration of criminal elements from Lebanon to Israel, along with Hezbollah agents.
According to Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the Second Lebanon War, Israel was to have withdrawn its forces from the northern part of Ghajar.
In March 2007, the security cabinet approved a deal whereby the IDF would cease its operations in the northern part of the village, giving the UN and Lebanese army forces responsibility for security and leaving civilian affairs in Israel’s hands. However, Beirut did not implement the agreement, among other things because of its political crisis.
Israel has since refused to discuss the matter and conditioned agreement on a written pledge by the Lebanese government to a new arrangement.
UNIFIL had transmitted a number of drafts to Israel, which it has rejected.
About two weeks ago Israel gave an official letter to UNIFIL commander General Claudio Graziano, stating that it accepts UN security and civilian control over the northern part of the village.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah last week told a crowd of supporters in a televised address that Jerusalem and Palestine would soon be returned to their rightful owners.
“I think that if you consider current developments,” Nasrallah told thousands of Shiite Hezbollah backers at a rally in Beirut, “the return of Jerusalem and Palestine is not far off, and could even happen in the near future.”
Nasrallah reiterated that backing the resistance [Hezbollah] was essential because “the resistance is the only way to liberate Palestine and occupied lands by Israel.”
