War Fever Grips the Middle East

Provocative war games

Israel has launched a provocative five-day war games exercise near its borders with Lebanon and Syria.

There is no doubt that the war games are a consequence of the war of summer 2006, in which the Israeli army suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Hezbollah resistance forces and more than one million Israeli citizens were driven out of their homes, a defeat whose repercussions are still being felt.

This move is very suspicions, especially the decision to conduct simulated air attacks on cities. Does Israel want to boost the morale of its military, which was called the “mightiest” in the Middle East, or is it preparing for a new war against Hezbollah or Syria?

“Israel is preparing for a war,” Israeli Knesset member Tulb Al Sane’e told the UAE’s Gulf News. “The military leaders aim to restore respect for the Israeli army.”

“There is no doubt that these drills come in preparation for something huge. No one knows what the nature of this thing is, but the Israeli army has been training around the clock to significantly improve its attack and defense techniques for the near future,” Alun Bin Ami, a military analyst for Israel’s Channel 10, told Gulf News.

Israel occupied Lebanese territory for over 20 years and Israel launched a massive air and ground attack on the tiny Lebanese state in 2006, in which it suffered a massive setback, so do the Zionists want to try their luck again?

Even though the Israeli prime minister has said there is no reason for Lebanon to interpret the war games as a prelude to war, this move has raised suspicions in regional countries, which are well aware of the evil nature of the Zionist regime
