Surprise Military Drill

By Findalis

Today the IDF started a surprise military drill on the Syrian/Lebanese border reported.  Add the call up notice for thousands of reservists and the intelligence community can see the nervousness that Israel feels.  The possibility that the violence that has infested Syria will spill over to Israel as the Islamic Extremists get it into their brains to try to “Liberate Palestine”.



Its timing is also connected to the speech Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah is scheduled to deliver Tuesday night in case he announces military steps against Israel.


These appear to be his three primary options:

  1. An American aerial bombardment of the Syrian military bases and facilities which are the mainstay which keep Bashar Assad in power;
  2. A missile strike on his chemical weapons from the sea and from ground bases in Europe and the Middle East;
  3. The deployment of 20,000 American troops to the Jordanian-Syrian frontier.

Alternatively, Obama may choose to combine elements of all three options and activate them simultaneously.

The surprise Israeli military exercise and concentration of reserve units along the borders of Syria and Lebanon place the IDF including its air and naval branches on the ready for a role in a potential American military operation against Syria.

The Israeli military also stands prepared to repel possible reprisals by Iran, Syria or Hizballah against US, Jordanian or Israeli troops.

Today President Barack Hussein Obama’s White House has backtracked on his pledge to stop Syria from using chemical weapons.  And today Israel is calling up reservists.  It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that Obama’s word is worth nothing and he will willingly allow any dictator to murder his own people with any means at his disposal.

    Great blog Findalis; right to the point and way ahead of CNN/Fox. I agree with you that Owawa will do nothing until he sees something to be gained with the Muslim Brotherhood. He does not give a twit about Isreal.
