Israel confirms what the resistance/anti-imperialist camp already knew: that the fall of the Assad regime would empower the Zionist regime and unleash it on a defenseless —thanks to cutting off its Syrian supply routes—Hizbullah with even more brute force than before:

The collapse of the Syrian regime may also bring with it an increase in Jihadi or Hezbollah operatives, who may try to carry out targeted attacks in the area.

“The Goldstone report will pale in comparison to what will be here next time. There is no choice but to fight against the enemy where he is, and that is in the heart of a populated area. “

The Northern Command point out that reconstruction work in Bint Jbeil, the site of a major battle during the 2006 war, was only completed a few months ago.

The response will need to be sharper, harder, and in some ways very violent. The next war will be with very heavy exchanges of fire on both sides, and so both need to make every effort to stop this happening.
