"Round 2" of Israel's campaign against Hezballah under "serious consideration"

Hezballah-free zone "revisited".

Arab sources, close to the "responsible Arabs" speak of a relentless (and succesful)campaign by Bandar Bin Sultan at the behest of the Israelis, to garner the widest support for a "round two" against Hezballah in Lebanon. This comes at a time when, according to Israeli sources, there is a "widening support" inside Israel for a decisive war, in which Israel would use the "accordion" strategy it used successfully against the PLO in the 1982 invasion of Lebanon. Ultimately, so goes the Israeli (and Arab thinking), Israel would deliver a "Hezballah-weapons free" Lebanon to a pliant Lebanese Army and the UNIFIL. Some Israeli commanders have boasted that Hezballah's long-range capabilities have been totally eroded. However, one needs to remember that the July 12 2006' Lebanon war saw a total failure of Israeli intelligence on Hezballah. No one should doubt that the Party of God remains a success story of secrecy!
