This article was originally posted on 1 February at Jewish Indy.Introduction to the Jewish Indy article: (added)As pointed out below, we need to look for the red herrings in the American milintel. But we also need to look further than that to seek out the positive aspects of what can look like a very negative situation. Let's look back on the rocket assault the north of the country was subjected to in the summer of 2006.
The entire government in the north ran away. It just collapsed. This can be viewed as negative - or as positive. If the whole country is subjected to missile attack by HizbAllah, in addition to an invasion, there is the strong possibility that the problem part of the Israeli régime - that pack of traitors known as the "political echelon" - will collapse under their inability to cope with what they do not really believe can happen - a successful invasion of the north. The success of the IDF in keeping pitched battles off of Israeli soil in the last six decades has had a price - the assumption by Israelis that they will not have to fight in Israel.
This assumption underlies much of the "peace" movement. These fools really believe that what they call "Israel" will not be subject to invasion (the delusion that it would not be subject to attack was largely dispelled in 2006). Therefore they are still willing to give up territory for peace. The collapse of this traitorous pack of fools will allow us to start over again - getting rid of the "peaceniks" who like to eat falafel and talk Hebrew but barely have a clue (other than whining about the Holocaust) of what it means to be a Jew who is
not in exile.
Article in Jewish IndySuch interesting news for a Monday!
This
Debkafile report details what US intelligence claims to be HizbAllah's war aims in a next conflict with us. Now that it is published, we have to look for what red herrings are set there to mislead us. Ah, the fun and games with milintel is just beginning.
Briefly summarized:
Five 1,000 strong battalions to participate in an invasion of the Galilee and the fomenting of an Arab revolt there and in northern Samaria.
First Battalion - attacks and seizes Rosh haNikra, aiming for control of Naharia.
Second Battalion - attacks Shlomi (just SE of Rosh haNikra) and areas to its east, to get control of roads.
Third Battalion - drives south to reach Arab villages just north of Carmiel, with the aim of getting control of highway 85, and fomenting Arab revolt there and in northern Samaria.
Fourth Battalion - attacks Kadesh Valley in the north, attempting to gain commanding position of the territory immediately west of the Heights of Golan.
Fifth Battalion - co-ordinates (from Lebanon) missile assault on military and industrial targets - according to this report, civilian casualties are not high on the list of accomplishments. Hmmm.... Could that be the first red herring to start stinking?
Syria would be called in to participate to back up this invasion with missile bombardments and responses to Israeli counter-attacks.
According to this report, this military maneuver could be in answer to an expected strike on Iranian nuclear facilities - or any other excuse can be used.
Moving on from this brief summary (read the article and consult the attached map of northern Israel and southern Lebanon to gain insight), what can be gained from all this that is positive? Consider. Under a relatively light rocket bombardment three years ago, the entire governmental structure of northern Israel collapsed like sticks. Pretty much the same people are running the local government now. I leave it to you all to figure out what is likely to happen - and what opportunities might arise that might be positive in this situation.
Figure summer for an attack date. Just my gut talking...

EXCLUSIVE: US intelligence finds 5,000 Hizballah trained to seize Galilee townsDEBKAfile Special ExposeFebruary 1, 2010

Jones was not talking out of the top of his head, but on the strength of solid US intelligence gathered over months on detailed war plans Iran, Syria, Hizballah and Hamas have drawn up to send five Hizballah brigades sweeping across the border to seize five sectors of Galilee, while also organizing a massive Israeli-Arab uprising against the Jewish state.
Hamas would open a second front in the south and in the east. Syria is expected to step in at some stage.
This plan with attached special map was first published exclusively by DEBKA-Net-Weekly 430 on Jan. 22, 2010. Key excerpts appear here.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards instructors at especially established training facilities near Tehran are already well advanced in training a cadre of 5,000 Hizballah fighters in special operations and urban combat tactics to standards equivalent to those current in similar US and Israeli military forces.
At the outset of the course, the group was split up into five battalions, each given a specific northern Israeli sector for capture with details of its topography and population for close study.
(See attached map).
1st Battalion:
This unit will break through the Naqura-Rosh Haniqra border pass and sweep south along seven kilometers to seize Nahariya, the Israeli Mediterranean city of 55,000 - or parts thereof.
UN peacekeepers have their headquarters at Naqura, the other side of Rosh Haniqra, and Israel defenses there are lax, so no military or geographic obstacles to this Hizballah drive are anticipated. This battalion will capture a large number of Israeli hostages for use as live shields against an Israeli counter-attack
A small group of 150 fighters, trained by Revolutionary Guards marines, will also try and reach the coast by swift boats. They are already standing by in Lebanon.
2nd Battalion:
This unit is assigned to capture the northern Israeli town of Shlomi, 300 meters southeast of the Naqura border pass and home to 6,500 inhabitants. Holding this town and its environs will give Hizballah control of a key road hub and stand in the path of Israeli reinforcements heading for Nahariya through routes 89 and 899 from key Israeli bases in the Galilee and Upper Galilee regions to the east. (See map).
3rd Battalion:
Driving further south than any other Hizballah unit, this battalion must reach the three Israeli-Arab villages of B'ina, Deir al-Asad and Majd el-Krum, which are located north of the town of Carmiel and alongside Israel's Route 85 which connects Acre on the Mediterranean with Safad in the central Galilee mountains.
Iranian war planners want Hizballah to control the three Israeli-Arab locations for two advantages:
One: As a commanding position for stirring up the disaffected Israeli-Arab villages and towns of Lower Galilee and Wadi Ara to the south into a full-blown uprising. The incoming combat force will be backed up by clandestine Hizballah cells which for some years have established, armed and funded the underground "Galilee Liberation Battalions” in Sakhnin, Araba and Deir Hana, by means of drug smugglers.
Hizballah's West Bank cells have been active for some time in the Wadi Ara region, through which National Route 65 connects central Israel to the North.
Two: To gain fire control of Acre-Safed Route 85 from positions in occupied Arab villages and so have a shield ready for the Hizballah units holding Nahariya and Shlomi, and seriously impede the passage of Israeli forces from bases in the center of the country to relieve these northern towns. The Israeli Air Force will be constrained from attacking the areas held by Hizballah by the presence of large civilian populations.
4th Battalion:
This battalion will push southeast into the Kadesh Valley, on the rim of which the Makia and Yiftah kibbutzim and Makia moshav are clustered. Capture of these locations would afford Hizballah fire coverage of Israel's northernmost Galilee Panhandle.
5th Battalion: Hizballah's Strategic Reserve.
Rocket attacks from Lebanon will focus on disabling Israel's strategic military sites, such as air force bases, missile bases, its nuclear facilities and naval bases. Targeting Israeli population centers is a lower Iranian priority.
Syria's initial involvement will be limited to cover by artillery or air for Hizballah operations. But if the fighting escalates or drags on, Hizballah will invite Syrian back-up forces to go into Lebanon; Damascus will open Front No. 4 against Israel from the Syrian side of the Golan Heights.
The Tehran-Hizballah war strategy is all but ready for any contingency. The obvious trigger would be an Israeli military operation against Iran's nuclear facilities, but once all the elements are in place, they could be activated by any other pretext conjured up in Tehran or Damascus.
In recent weeks, both Hizballah and its Syrian allies have mobilized their forces while telling the Arab world that the Jewish state is about to attack Lebanon.
Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah is straining at the leash to attack Israel however the crisis over Iran's nuclear program turns out.
Sunday, January 17, he said: "I promise you, in view of all the threats you hear today… that should a new war with the Zionists erupt, we [the Lebanese resistance movement] will crush the enemy, come out victorious, and change the face of the region.
"God willing, Israel, the occupation, hegemony, and arrogance are in the process of disappearing!"
Nasrallah was not alone in anticipating a troubled year for the Middle East.
