European Diplomats Warn of Possible Israeli War on Lebanon Next Month
European diplomatic sources did not rule out an Israeli aggression on Lebanon in September warning the Jewish state could target state institutions, including Lebanese army barracks.
The sources told An Nahar daily published Friday that the new Israeli war would not only target Hizbullah arms depots and officials but also hit the water and electricity sectors and army positions.
European countries that have contingents in UNIFIL have received such info, the sources said.
Tel Aviv has drawn an efficient military plan that would guarantee a success in any new confrontation with Hizbullah, they told the newspaper.
The alleged war would be aimed at thwarting Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ determination to go ahead with the U.N. membership bid.
The Israeli government strongly rejects such a move and is making attempts to lure the Palestinians back into peace talks based on the 1967 borders if they abandon the U.N. membership campaign.
