Beirut : A supposedly defensive military drill in Israel against possible rocket attacks from Lebanon is considered by Hizballah (God’s Party) a veiled training session for another war.
The exercise responds to alleged aggression by Syria, Hizballah (Lebanon) and the Islamic Resistance settled in the Palestinian territory of Gaza Strip.
The maneuver, called Critical Moment, will last for five days and the security committee led by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is foreseen to meet on Monday.
According to Hizballah general deputy secretary Naim Kassem the new Israeli military exercises near the Lebanese border are parts of Tel Aviv Army training to trigger another military adventure against the Arab country. Naim Kassem assured “Our soldiers are ready to defend Lebanon if Israel Attacks.”
Media commented that the exercises that will last until Thursday and are based on experiences Israel had in the war against Lebanon in 2006.
