URGENT -- My former colleagues in the Intel community from my years working with FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force told me tonight "Iran - and its allies - will launch a large scale attack upon Israel within the next 72 Hours."
Tonight, there is also word from Intel Sources that a warning and threatening message sent by France from (its Embassy) in Tel Aviv, through the Lebanese government, to Hezbollah, that any response that extends deep into Israel will be met with a violent and crushing response against the party’s targets in the southern suburbs, Baalbek, and vital facilities in the capital Beirut.
Hezbollah’s response to the French mediation: We do not have time to de-escalate. Our response has not been subject to any rules since the moment of the assassination in the southern suburb, and what we have will be revealed in the coming hours.
For most keen observers, the fact that FRANCE chose to involve itself, and do so by conveying a threat, is a a stupefying example of the level of the arrogant bravado and shear incompetence within western governments nowadays.
Those same keen observers were quite taken aback by the fact that Hezbollah responded, and said what they said! No rules??? It also shows no fear.
MORE:
Intel has confirmed that a Senior Hezbollah Official has asked Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's brother, Maher al-Assad, to prepare the elite Syrian 4th Armored Division for the reopening of the Golan front and an extensive war. The Golan can be re-opened because Israel has repeatedly bombed Syria over the past two years, thereby voiding the ceasefire for the Golan Heights, which Israel took from Syria.
U.S. spy satellite observations confirm Iran has begun preparations for retaliation against Israel. Other intel has determined the retaliation is presently planned to take place after Friday's funerals in Iran. "The final order will be given by Khamenei."
EVEN MORE:
Given the activities in Iran, and the communications between Hezbollah and the Syrian Army, elements inside Israel are rapidly waking up to the reality that Israel may be defeated. Those elements are now forcefully pushing for Israel to make a "pre-emptive strike."
This situation grows worse by the hour.
LASTLY:
Hezbollah have turned off their cell phones and do not respond to the mediators who want to contain the escalation and prevent a response strike to the bombing of the suburb. Hezbollah closed all communication with all parties regarding de-escalation.
Russia says a full-scale war is the only way for peace in the Middle East and blames the United States. "The knot is tightening in the Middle East. Sorry for the innocent lives lost. They are but hostages of a disgusting state: the USA. Meanwhile, it's clear to everyone that a full-scale war is the only way to a shaky peace in the region."
The Pentagon also told me "We have rerouted and deployed 12 US warships to the middle east amid the seriously deteriorating situation."
So, ladies and gentlemen, "it" is about to begin.
