Israeli Troops on Alert after Hizbullah Threat
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Israeli troops along the border with Lebanon were on high alert Wednesday night after Hizbullah threatened action over what it said was an Israeli air raid, Israel's army radio said.
"The military ordered farmers to stay away from the border... and there was movement of military vehicles around border communities," the radio said.
The army itself did not make any statement.
Earlier Wednesday, Hizbullah threatened to retaliate after Israel's first reported air raid targeting a position of the party since a 2006 war between them.
The threat came two days after Israeli warplanes reportedly struck a Hizbullah position in eastern Lebanon, amid fears the region might be dragged into further conflict over the Syrian civil war.
Israel has not acknowledged the raid, but officials have confirmed a general policy of interdicting suspected arms deliveries from Syria to Hizbullah.
"We are doing everything that is necessary in order to defend the security of Israel," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday.
"We will not say what we're doing or what we're not doing," he said.

There was no raid, are you guys dreaming? Rumor similar to the plane in maarab. We have Hussein army as our freedom protectors since the UN allows having a terrorist organization if you are always threatened.

'btw your tufayli insert is irrelevant, he went against hezbollah '
what do u mean he went against HA ? Do u mean pro-israel or something?
Have the honesty to say that he went against Khamenei and iranian overtaking of HA...
'how did all previous HA leaders die and by whom?'
those were fighting Israel, not Qusayris, Qalamounis or killing/persecuting lebanese sunnis...

and about tufayli, he's not fighting anything, he's sitting in saudi arabia, and getting paid to make slur speeches. he got kicked out of HA for a reason, and what he has been doing since confirms it the right decision.
