Hizbullah Discusses Operational Plan for War with Israel
-General Dr. Shimon Shapira
According to a source close to Hizbullah, the group's leader, Hasan Nasrallah [pictured], has told his field commanders that in the next military conflict with Israel, Hizbullah will hit Tel Aviv with missiles at the outset of the war, while also dispatching forces to conquer the Galilee.
The operational plan was formulated in tandem with senior Iranian strategic experts and will include a force of 5,000 fighters who have recently trained in Iran, tasked with taking over northern Israeli towns including Nahariya, Shlomi, and Carmiel.
It was said that Hizbullah had equipped itself with "smart" Iranian anti-tank missiles that can disrupt the defensive systems of Israel's Merkava tanks.
Nasrallah's recent escalation of public statements stems from heightened fear in Hizbullah that an Israeli and/or American attack on Iran is drawing nearer. As a strategic arm of Iran, Hizbullah sees itself as Iran's first line of defense against Israel.(Institute for Contemporary Affairs-Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs)

Hopefully the world will take heed and is doing more than merely watching.
The international community's track record is not very promising...
