The Jerusalem Post has reported that Israel is “preparing something” for Lebanon and Hizbullah.
According to the paper, the IDF recently released high-quality photo intelligence of Hizbullah positions in southern Lebanon.
The IDF's publicising of the intelligence has led to Hizbullah sources claiming the photos were fabrications.
But Israelis have seen the released information as being an attempt by the IDF to deter Hizbullah attacks and to prepare the Israeli public for a possible future war involving Lebanon.
Hizbullah's deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem on Friday said Israel would suffer tremendous casualties in the event of another war.
His remarks came on the fourth anniversary of the Second Lebanon War and were also considered a response to the IDF's release of the photos, which appear to be of are arms caches, control centres and rocket launchers, placed in small villages.
Others photos show objects that look like long-range rockets.
'Hizbullah: Israel preparing something'
The IDF recently declassified and released high-quality intelligence of Hizbullah positions in southern Lebanon. Many interpreted the IDF's publicizing of the intelligence as an attempt both to deter Hizbullah attacks and to prepare the Israeli public for a future war should it be deemed necessary.
The Hizbullah sources claimed the photos were fabrications, but said “we are avoiding any heated exchanges because we want the Lebanese’s summer to pass quietly and without incident.”
Hizbullah's deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem on Friday said Israel would suffer tremendous casualties in the event of another war.
In an interview with Syrian television cited by Press TV, Qassem said: "If the result of the July [2006] war was a failure to the Israelis, then Israel would suffer a big loss in its next aggression."
Israel is “preparing something” for Lebanon and Hizbullah is on high alert to prevent it, unnamed sources in the group were quoted by London-based newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat as saying Saturday.

Sending Hizbullah a message: Israel is ready

Four years ago, on the eve of the Second Lebanon War, the IDF had just a few hundred designated Hizbullah targets throughout Lebanon. About 90 of them were longrange missiles that had been stored in the homes of top Hizbullah operatives and these were destroyed by the air force within 36 minutes on the first night of the war.
