ISRAELI STRIKE ON BEIRUT MEANS “GLOVES ARE OFF“, says Israeli Lt. Col. (reserves) Buskila (article above) as Tel Aviv officials signal possibility of an all-out war and invasion of Lebanon, which latter warns will lead to “DOOMSDAY SCENARIO“. Strike in Dahiyeh district of Beirut is essentially a statement. It doesn’t matter who target was. Fact that terrorists were struck in Beirut is very significant message from Israel to Hezbollah Message is there’s no intention to continue playing this symmetric game with Hezbollah, and Israel understands Hezbollah can respond significantly. Israel ready for war, center of gravity shifting to north, while Gaza will become secondary. This is not just an empty statement, it’s real, significant one, saying we’re entering campaign, even if it means entering a much tougher war If Hezbollah believed with pager and radio attacks, Israel would stop because it didn’t want escalation, strike in heart of Dahiyeh is very clear message to contrary - Buskila...
