Is Hezbollah preparing for war with Israel?
Israel and Hezbollah may be embarking on their first war since 2006, when Israel, responding to a cross-border ambush, launched an aerial campaign and limited ground invasion that came to a standstill more than a month later. A Israeli commission of inquiry called the war a “serious missed opportunity” that ended without victory while Israeli civilians were forced to shelter for weeks from Hezbollah’s rocket fire.

But the war, which devastated Lebanese infrastructure, helped deter Hezbollah and won Israel peace on its northern border until last October, when Hezbollah began a campaign of rocket attacks to support Hamas in Gaza. Tens of thousands of Israelis have fled northern towns as a result and, with the war in Gaza winding down, Israel has signalled a “new phase” in its tactics from retaliatory airstrikes in Lebanon to a looming military campaign.

00:00It does appear that the pagers that exploded were acquired relatively recently by Hezbollah
00:22and I would not be surprised if they were tampered with prior to their having been delivered.
00:38Three decades ago, Israel managed to assassinate the main designer of bombs for Hamas.
00:47His name was Yahya Ayyash.
00:48He was known by the moniker of the engineer because of those skills and he was killed
00:55when his cell phone exploded apparently because a small amount of explosives had been put
01:00in the device and were detonated by a remote control from an airplane flying over Gaza
01:07listening in to make sure it was his voice on the phone at the time that it was detonated.
01:38As time goes by, Hezbollah will pay a growing price.
01:44At the same time, we will continue to make an effort to return the hijackers to their
01:49homes and to kill the Hamas organization.
01:52I have already said that we will return the residents of the north safely to their homes
02:04and we will do just that.
