ISRAEL RAISES PROSPECT OF WAR IN 2007


TEL AVIV [MENL] -- For the first time in more than a decade, Israel's
military has raised the prospect of a Middle East war.

Military sources said the Intelligence Corps has warned of the
possibility of war in 2007. The sources said the corps, in its annual
intelligence assessment, has notified the General Staff that Syria
represented the greatest danger of war over the next year.

"The main message was that the chance of war with Syria in 2007 was
greater than during 2006," a source said. "This does not mean that it
will happen. It means that there is a reasonable change of it taking
place."

The annual assessment relayed to the General Staff was expected to be
revised over the next few months. The Cabinet would receive the annual
assessment toward the end of 2006.

By JPOST.COM STAFF


"Only a military strike by the US and its allies will stop Iran
attaining nuclear weapons," an IDF spokesman said on Thursday.

Army Radio reported that in a special meeting of senior political and
security officials earlier, IDF officials estimated that the diplomatic
efforts would fail over the Iranian nuclear crisis.
