Setting Up for Round Two at a Future Date!

The resistance activity north of Israel in Lebanon and Syria is going to be fed by the fiery spirit of Islamic Jihad from now on, and many other Arab nations that had come to accept Israel’s cloak of invincibility as lasting forever, are now more inclined to get on the Jihad bandwagon, having seen the success of Hizbollah.
I do not believe all the elements, necessary for a confederation of Islamic nations to successfully attack against Israel, are in place at the present time.
The earliest I can see the elements coming toge
ther for a successful Jihad is 2008, but I can see them firmly in place by 2012
The two articles which follow, the first from DEBKAfile, and the second from the Jerusalem Post, are illustrative of the beginning stages of Arab planning for a future Jihad against Israel.
Begin Article 1 from DEBKAfile
DEBKAfile: Nasrallah is transferring his entire fighting force from northern Lebanon to the South
August 16, 2006, 12:03 PM (GMT+02:00)
The rockets and guns were silent up to Wednesday, Day 3 of the ceasefire – although Tuesday, Israeli troops shot at 5 Hizballah fighters in two separate
incidents, killing at least three. However, the swelling numbers of returning Hizballah fighters with their families are jamming the roads south – also blocking the deployment of the 15,000-strong Lebanese force ordered by UN SC resolution 1701 to take over the South and disarm Hizballah. The Hizballah are moving back into their still undamaged bunkers and fortified civilian dwellings opposite the Israeli border. Therefore, while thousands of displaced people in Israel and Lebanon headed back to their ravaged homes,
DEBKAfile’s military sources report trepidation about the durability of the ceasefire which Israel declared Monday morning. Everyone is talking about the inevitability of a second round.
Hours after the ceasefire went into effect Monday morning, 6 Hizballah fighters were shot dead in three incidents with Israeli troops. Israeli forces inside Lebanon will hold their positions until a strengthened international force and the Lebanese army takes over.
The discharge of reservists called up for the war begins at the end of the week although the Lebanese defense minister promised to move his men into position by then only north of the Litani. Northern Israelis towns and farms face immense reconstruction and recovery projects after Hizballah’s 33-day rocket blitz.

Hizballah fighters in uniform directed the traffic in Beirut and took up police duties. Nasrallah also promised his men would help repair destroyed villages in the south.

SYRIA TO FORM ITS OWN HEZBOLLAH

Baath Party Official: Lebanon War proves Resistance against Israel Works!
August 17, 2006
By Aaron Klein
JERUSALEM – On the heels of what it views as a Hezbollah victory against the Jewish state, Syria is forming its own Hezbollah-like guerilla organization to fight Israel in hopes of “liberating” the Golan Heights, an official from Syrian President Bashar Assad’s Ba’ath party told WorldNetDaily yesterday.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Syria learned from Hezbollah’s military campaign against Israel the past month that “fighting” is more effective than peace negotiations with regard to gaining territory.
He said Syria’s new guerilla force would be trained by Hezbollah leaders.
“Syria is very serious about establishing this new guerilla force,” the official said.
