Ground Invasion in Lebanon

It's about TIME !!
I am not going to debate this subject. So do not engage. I am weary of discussing whether or not Israel has the right or ability to fight and win against those who would have them wiped from the Earth. Right is right and wrong is wrong. It is clear and irrefutable! My prediction:Israel will attack Lebanon this weekend, perhaps in a matter of hours.America has sent laser guided missiles to Israel, which tells me that Israel is doing all they can to avoid civilian casualties. As rockets and guided missiles are fired at strategic targets, the ground forces will go in. This is when it will likely get hairy! I believe that Lebanon is going to side with Hezbollah and engage Israel. If and when this happens, we could see wide scale escalation among many other nations.I pray for a peaceful end to the war there. However, I do so in the context of Peace only being achievable through an aggressive use of force and nothing short of full victory over the enemyGod Bless America and God bless Israel !

Israel has called up as many as 3,000 more reservists as it masses troops on the Lebanese border in what some believe is the prelude to further ground incursions. Israeli authorities wouldn't rule out a full-scale invasion aimed at destroying Hezbollah positions, despite mounting calls for a ceasefire. It comes as Israel issued fresh warnings for residents of Lebanon's south to flee the frontier zone. Those who wished to escape from southern Lebanon, waved white scarves as they streamed to safer havens further north following Israel’s bombardment of the region for the 10th consecutive day. Israel launched a military campaign against Lebanon after the militant Shi'ite Muslim group Hezbollah captured two of its soldiers on the 12th of July. It sealed its border with Lebanon and imposed an air and sea blockade of its northern neighbour.


Lebanese army on standby Lebanon said its army was ready to go into battle if Israel invaded, an action that would sharply raise the stakes in a conflict that in just 10 days has killed close to 340 people in Lebanon and forced over half a million to leave their homes. "The Lebanese army will resist and defend the country and prove that it is an army worthy of respect," said Lebanese Defence Minister Elias Murr, whose forces have so far stood on the sidelines of the conflict. Israeli Defence Minister Amir Peretz had warned that Israel would launch a full-scale ground invasion "without thinking twice" if necessary to crush Hezbollah, which has long been a thorn in the side of Israel. Spokesman Captain Yaacov Dalal said they would "clean up the border zone on the Lebanese side by limited operations aiming to destroy Hezbollah's infrastructure." Operations on the ground were "indispensable because the air force can not always destroy underground bunkers dug by Hezbollah, which has put in place an entire fortified network," he said. Cpt. Dalal added that a major ground attack into Lebanon had not been ruled out.
