Israeli Commander Claims War Plans
Israel is preparing for all-out war on multiple fronts that include Iran, Syria and Lebanon, a senior military commander claims.
Israeli army Home Front Command Major General Yair Golan said Sunday that Tel Aviv is preparing for “all possible scenarios”, indicating that one such scenario would be to fight a simultaneous war against Iran, Syria and Lebanon.
The confirmation comes as US President Barack Obama seeks “new beginnings” with its arch-rival Iran. The US offer has been met with world praise but with fury in Tel Aviv.
Israeli media outlets late on Sunday began propagating wild scenarios that Iran is using the Lebanese Hezbollah to recruit Palestinian fighters to carry out terror attacks on Israel.
Citing anonymous sources, the reports began to surface after Tel Aviv countered an alleged bombing attempt outside a shopping mall in the northern city of Haifa.
“We are treating the attempted attack in Haifa with great gravity. A huge disaster was prevented by a miracle,” Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told a weekly cabinet meeting after the bomb was defused on Sunday.
Israel has long accused Iran of arming Hezbollah and Palestinian groups via Syria, in an attempt to demonize the two Muslim countries.
Tel Aviv also accuses Tehran of developing nuclear weaponry — a charge denied by the UN nuclear watchdog.
At a conference held in Tel Aviv, Golan also confirmed the likeliness of Israel staging another military confrontation against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Although Israel does not consider rocket attacks from Gaza as a serious threat, there is the possibility of “dangerous” missile attacks by other countries, he said.
He failed to elaborate how such missile attacks would relate to Gaza.
His remarks came as reports claim that the soon-to-be Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has plans for “a major military conflict in the coming months.”
The commander also revealed that Tel Aviv will install new warning systems across Israel in preparation for its war plans.
The last Israeli-waged war on the Gaza Strip, which began on December 27, killed at least 1,350 Palestinians and wounded more than 5,450 others in the densely-populated sliver.
The aggression was the last in a series of operations carried out by the Israeli forces against the natives of the land since occupying Palestine in 1948.

TO THE ANONYMOUS COWARD WHO WROTE THIS PIECE:
You anti-semitic moron. How much longer are we going to have to listen to this regurgitated Third Reich garbage? You want to hang everything on Israel, conveniently ignoring the fact that Arab and Palestinian terrorism was the catalyst that militarized Israel in the first place! Every time the Muslims would try a new tactic the Israelis would learn from it and adapt, usually beating the murderers at their own game. In 1967 the Jews took everything the Arab world could throw at them..and they not only won, they passed on the opportunity to take over the entire Middle East (which they could have easily done). During the Clinton years, Israel’s government offered the PLO everything it had ever asked for…and Arafat spat in their faces. That’s because its not about the 1967 borders – its about the complete destruction of Israel, a goal stated in the charter of every Muslim terrorist group from the PLO to Hamas. The twisted death cult that the Jihadists embrace is without honor and deserves no mercy. If you’re ignorant enough to blindly hate Jews as well, you are no better than Hitler or Bin Laden.
