ISRAEL IS PREPARING FOR AN IMMINENT WAR WITH FIVE FORCES AS EARLY AS JULY |
http://www.abbaswatchman.com/NEWS%20ISRAEL%20IS%20PREPARING%20FOR%20AN.html
Israel is preparing for an imminent war with Iran, Syria and/or their
non-state clients.
Israeli military intelligence has projected that a major attack could
come from any of five adversaries in the Middle East. Officials said
such a strike could spark a war as early as July 2007.
On Sunday, Israeli military intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Amos Yadlin
told the Cabinet that the Jewish state faces five adversaries in what
could result in an imminent confrontation. Yadlin cited Iran, Syria,
Hizbullah, Hamas and Al Qaida.
"Each of these adversaries is capable of sparking a war in the
summer," Yadlin was quoted as saying.
[On Monday, Al Qaida's No. 2 Ayman Zawahiri endorsed the Hamas
takeover of the Gaza Strip, Middle East Newsline reported. The Al
Qaida statement came after Zawahiri repeatedly criticized Hamas for
tolerating Palestinian Authority cooperation with the United States.]
Yadlin said Hamas could be planning a major attack to divert attention
away from efforts by the Palestinian Authority to isolate the Gaza
Strip. He said Syria might be promoting such an attack.
Officials said Iran has direct influence over Syria, Hizbullah and
Hamas. He said Al Qaida has increasingly come under Iranian influence
and was being used by Iran and Syria in such countries as Iraq, Jordan
and Lebanon.
Already, military intelligence has assessed that Hamas acquired more
than 50 missiles with a range of 22 kilometers. Officials said this
would allow Palestinian missile strikes on any part of Ashkelon, the
largest city in southeastern Israel and which contains strategic
sites.
Hamas has also deployed at least 20 SA-7 anti-aircraft systems,
officials said. They said the missiles threaten Israeli combat
helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft that conduct missions over the
Gaza Strip.
On Monday, Palestinian gunners continued missile fire into Israel.
Hours earlier, the Israel Air Force struck an Islamic Jihad squad said
to have been driving toward the northern Gaza Strip to launch missiles
toward Israel. One Jihad operative was killed and two others were
injured.
Israeli military intelligence has assessed that Hamas was being
quietly supported by neighboring Egypt.
Officials said that despite Egypt's announced ban, Cairo has continued
to allow Hamas leaders to enter the Sinai Peninsula from the Gaza
Strip.
Over the weekend, officials said, a Hamas delegation led by former PA
Interior Minister Said Siyyam entered Sinai.
They said the 15-member delegation was escorted by Egyptian security
forces to Cairo for a flight to Damascus, where they were scheduled to
meet Hamas political bureau chief Khaled Masha'al.
On Monday, Egypt was scheduled to host a regional summit meant to
support PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. Israel, Jordan and Abbas were
expected to attend the meeting in the Sinai resort town of Sharm e-
Sheik.
