economiccollapseblog | Israel and Hezbollah are at war. On top of everything else that is
going on in the world, now we have a new war in the Middle East, and
nobody is quite certain what is going to happen next. Israel has been
preparing for this moment for more than 8 years. So has Hezbollah.
According to some reports, Hezbollah has amassed an arsenal of 50,000 rockets
since the end of the Hezbollah-Israel war in 2006. If all-out warfare
does erupt, we could potentially see tens of thousands of missiles rain
down into an area not too much larger than the state of New Jersey.
And of course the Israeli military is also much more sophisticated and
much more powerful than it was back in 2006. If cooler heads do not
prevail, we could be on the verge of witnessing a very bloody war. But
right now nobody seems to be in the mood to back down. Hezbollah is
absolutely fuming over an airstrike earlier this month that killed six
fighters and a prominent Iranian general. And Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu says that Israel is “prepared to act powerfully on all fronts”
in response to a Hezbollah ambush that killed two Israeli soldiers and
wounded seven. Just such an incident is what sparked the war between
the two sides back in 2006. But this time, a conflict between Israel
and Hezbollah could spark a full-blown regional war.
Earlier this month, Israel launched a surprise assault against a
group of Hezbollah fighters that Israel believed was planning to conduct
terror attacks inside their borders.
But in addition to killing six Hezbollah fighters, a very important Iranian general was also killed. Needless to say, Iran is furious…
