数日前に見かけた、イスラエル・Haaretz紙の記事を2本。
最初のレポートは、イスラエル・バラク国防相が対ヒズボラ・ハマス軍事作戦強化の可能性があることをシリアに警告したと言う内容で、2本目のレポートは、ヒズボラ指導者・ナスララ師が、ここ数ヶ月以内にも起こりうる対イスラエル戦争の準備が完了しつつあると発言したという内容である。
イスラエルが軍事作戦を発動する時は（事前に騒がず）奇襲攻撃が多い上、イスラエル側では強硬派が外交軍事の主導権を完全には握っていないようにも見えるため、これまでの両陣営の発言からみてブラフの可能性もあるが、この地域では大事件一つで情勢がどう転ぶかわからないため、念のため転載。

Report: Barak warns Syria IDF planning Hezbollah op
By Haaretz Service
Defense Minister Ehud Barak has warned Syria through Turkish mediation
that the Israel Defense Forces is planning to escalate its military
operations against Hezbollah and Hamas, the London-based daily
/Al-Hayyat/ reported on Thursday.
On his visit to Turkey last week, Barak asked Turkish President Abdullah
Ghoul to urge Syrian President Bashar Assad to adopt a different stance
toward Hezbollah, according to /Al-Hayyat/.
The defense minister reportedly informed Turkey of Israel's intentions
to widen its operation in Gaza and asked the Turkish leader to consider
sending troops on an international mission to Gaza geared toward ending
Qassam rocket fire and protecting the border.
This multi-national force will comprise representatives from Qatar,
Malaysia and Jordan, according to the report.
The Defense Ministry has refused to respond to the report, which it said
was the result of leaked information.
Barak said Tuesday that he anticipated Hezbollah would try to retaliate
for last week's assassination of terrorist mastermind Imad Mughniyah,
possibly with help from Syria and Iran.
Hezbollah blamed Israel for the attack and pledged to attack Jewish
targets worldwide in revenge.
The U.S. intelligence chief has said, however, that internal Hezbollah
factions or Syria may be to blame for Mughniyah's death.

Hezbollah chief: We're preparing for war with Israel in coming months
By Yoav Stern Haaretz Correspondent
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said Friday that operatives within
Lebanon are preparing for a new war with Israel in coming months.
Nasrallah, who made a speech in honor of the "Islamic Resistance Week,"
maintained that activists from his organization are ready for battle
against the Israel Defense Forces and will fight the IDF soldiers "in
every wadi" in ways they haven't fought in the past.
The leader of the Lebanon-based guerilla group spoke at a rally in front
of thousands who came to honor Imad Mughniyah, Hezbollah's deputy
secretary general, who was killed in a car bombing in Damascus on
February 12. Nasrallah also spoke about the 1992 targeted killing of his
predecessor, Abbas Moussawi.
"No one can protect the entire Israeli home front from our missiles," he
said. "If they think of entering the south, to any valley, any hill, I
swear you [Israelis] will carry your tanks and soldiers and your entire
army will collapse under the feet of Imad Mughniyah," Nasrallah said
"I swear to you Haj Imad, your blood will not go to waste," Nasrallah said.
"We will defend ourselves the way we choose, at the time we choose, in
the place we choose... With our will and bravery we will defend
ourselves and our blood," he proclaimed.
At time of his death, Mughniyah was the commander of Hezbollah's
guerrilla army. He had been on the United States' most wanted list and
was hunted by Israeli intelligence for two decades for his role in a
string of kidnappings, hijackings and attacks against Western and
Israeli targets that killed hundreds in the 1980s and early 1990s.
Though many accused Israel of the assassination, Israel denies any
involvement.
"Destroying Israel is an inevitable outcome, a historic law, a divine
doctrine," Nasrallah said. "When Israel won't have an army it won't
survive, and that's what I said about Mughniyah's blood leading to the
elimination of Israel."
He maintained that Hezbollah is waging an "open war" with Israel,
emphasizing that "the war is open since 1948, before I was born."
Nasrallah said that Syria is responsible for investigating Mughniyah's
assasination, and updating the Shiite organization with its findings.
He maintained that the investigation strengthened his view that Israel
stood behind the assassination, praising Mughniyah's involvement in the
kidnapping of Israeli businessman Elhanan Tennenbaum and forcing Israel
to leave Lebanon in the year 2000.
*Israel flights taking extra precautions due to Hezbollah hijacking
threats*
Israel is requiring that passengers on all incoming flights be confined
to their seats in the half-hour before landing as part of heightened
precautions against hijacking, aviation security sources said on Friday.
They said the Transport Ministry order, issued to local and foreign
airlines on Wednesday, cited threats by Lebanese Hezbollah guerrillas to
avenge the February 12 assassination of their operations chief by waging
"open war" against Israel.
"Our new policy is that planes lock their flight-deck doors and activate
the 'please fasten seat belts' signs when 290 kilometers away from
Israel," one Israeli security source said.
"It's a precaution against hijackers storming the cockpit in the final
approach, given the current terrorist threat level," the source said,
adding that previously it was up to the airlines to decide when to ask
passengers to remain seated.
The Transport Ministry had no immediate comment.
The new Israeli aviation security standards may remain in force even if
Hezbollah's threats of reprisals are not being borne out and the recent
alert level is lowered, sources said.
Israel last year began requiring that all pilots who fly to its airports
use the Security Code System (SCS), a local invention designed to ensure
any plane commandeered for an al Qaida-style ramming attack is spotted
and intercepted in time.
On most flights, which approach Israel from the west, pilots equipped
with the SCS must enter a personalized, technologically secured code
when 290 kilometers out, so that air traffic controllers in Tel Aviv
know the cockpit is in the right hands.
Aviation experts have suggested that hijackers could wait for SCS
compliance to have been established before striking. Keeping passengers
seated until landing would help diminish such a threat, an Israeli
security source said.
"The new regulations are definitely linked to our introduction of the
SCS," the source said.
Since the al Qaida attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States has
instituted mandatory pre-landing seating regulations for flights to some
of its airports. There are also U.S. rules against incoming passengers
congregating in plane aisles.
