Israel had withstood the combined threat of attack from the
"entire" Arab World, which
was completely diffused in the 6-Day
War in June 1967.
In that war Israel had to face the threat on three fronts of her
border with Egypt, Jordan and Syria - all three had massed their
military in preparation for an invasion and with support from Arab
countries further away from this theatre of war.
The threat was neutralised by the swift actions of the Israeli Air
Force, which neutralised the opposing airforce, support and supply
lines in the early hours of the decision to attack first with the
threat itself being justifiable cause and not necessary for an
attack to take effect that will become fatal to Israel.
This sudden initiative on Israel's part saved herself, and gave her
military the element of complete surprise that allowed her smaller
numbers to overwhelm the larger numbered opponents.
The final result of this war that ended in 6-Days, was that Israel
ended up with a land mass that included the Golan Heights, the West
Bank (once belonging to Jordan), and the entire Sinai Peninsula
with the Suez Canal as a new border with Egypt.
The current tension and build-up to a war scenario will give Israel
a new opportunity to strike deep and take the poison sting out of
the Hezbollah and Hamas.
If Syria and Iran are found to be directly involved by their
financial and logistical support to these two organisations that
has declared the destruction of the State of Israel, this is an
opportunity for Israels potent military to strike the
infrastructure of Syria and Iran, and pulverize their present
economic status into the Stone Age.
Any country that is daring enough to declare open conflict with
Israel will better be prepared for its infrastructure to be
vaporised, which will take another ten years and billions to
restore.
Iran's mischief in covert financial and material support to
Hezbollah, and in goading the Hezbollah to attack Israel is
clear.
Iran will open herself to attack by Israel, if firm evidence is
found that Iran is clearly using Hezbollah as proxy to fight
Israel; and such evidence are not hard to find as soon as it is
clearer as to how the "home-made" Hezbollah rockets can now reach a
distance of over 40 kilometers. Are these rockets no longer
"home-made" quality now, and have these been replaced by more
sophisticated rockets developed by Iran ?
Was the recent Israeli patrol boat hit by an Iranian "silk worm"
shore to sea missile - as this is the first time that an Israeli
ship was hit from the Lebanese shore ?
The prime target in Iran will be the fragile nuclear development
facilities.
From the historical records, one should never doubt the Israeli
resolve - and the Jewish minds - they are prepared and are
certainly refining their plans and studying their options.
Presently, Iran and Syria are the known direct supporters to the
events created by Hezbollah and Hamas, it will be in their own
interests to reign in the actions of their proxies before the
situation get out of control.
Even if Israel attacked Iran, it will hardly lead to a wider
Middle-east War or even WW-3.
