Israel to Hezbollah: Soon

Rather than blowup the Hezbollah missile factory uncovered in the Beqaa Valley, Israel exposed it to the world. Smart.

This morning Debka reports:

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned Lebanon on Wednesday, Sept. 4, that Israel knows about a second, larger Iranian-Hizballah missile factory and is preparing to bomb it. Pompeo addressed this urgent message directly to Lebanese Foreign Minister Jubran Basil, who is close to Hizballah’s Hassan Nasrallah, instead of through the usual embassy channels. He sent it on the day after the IDF showed reporters detailed evidence of the existence of a factory at Nebi Shait for arming Hizballah’s surface missiles with precision kits.

It sounds like Israel is making the case for war.

If Lebanon won't act then Israel will.

Yesterday we supposed that Israel knows it cannot destroy Iran's nuclear program and will destroy Hezbollah instead. Israel's latest actions show the IDF and Mossad know everything about Hezbollah dispositions in Lebanon, we believe. We might be underestimating them, but still.

Bibi can't risk war with a Democrat in the White House. With Trump in the Oval Office, there will never be a better time to strike Hezbollah.
