Israel to Hizballah: A crushing Israeli response will come – even for a “limited reprisal”
Israel categorically rejected Hizballah’s proposal of a “limited reprisal” to close the books on the IDF’s weekend attacks in Beirut and East Lebanon. The offer, as a formula for averting a general flareup of hostilities, was made during an exchange of back-channel messages on Tuesday, Aug. 27. However, as DEBKAfile’s military and intelligence sources reveal here, it was flatly rejected by Israel who replied unequivocally that any Hizballah attack on a military or civilian target -“limited” or not – would elicit a crushing Israeli blow against its forces in Lebanon. For added muscle, the Israeli Air Force has been maintaining a round-the-clock presence over Lebanon, ready to strike Hizballah for any aggression without delay.
The leaders of Iran’s Lebanese surrogate must therefore take
into account that even a single rocket fired against Israel would bring forth a
deadly Israeli counterblow and they have no way of predicting where that blow
will fall.
It is worth noting that not a single shot has been fired against the IAF
aircraft over Lebanon, despite Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s threat on
Sunday to shoot down every Israeli aerial intruder.
According to intelligence estimates, Hizballah will try hard to stage an attack in the coming three weeks to take advantage of the pre-election climate prevailing in Israel in the run-up to its Sept. 17 general election.
In line with the US-Israel alliance, President Donald Trump called on Egyptian President Abdel-Fatteh El-Sisi, when they met at the weekend G-7 summit in Biarritz, to do what he can to rein in the Palestinian Hamas and Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip and keep them from joining the violent campaign Iran and Hizballah are waging against Israel. El-Sisi responded by inviting a Hamas delegation to Cairo on Tuesday, Aug. 27 to warn them that Egyptian-Gaza links would be instantly severed if Hamas or Jihad struck Israel again.
DEBKAfile stands firmly by its report that the real object of Israel’s drone attack in Beirut’s Dahya district last Saturday was the targeted assassination of a senior Iran-appointed liaison officer – not a missile factory, as falsely reported by The London Times and presented as fact by domestic media.
What a surprise, Bibi has the psychopathic
expectation that he should be able to kill and maim anyone other people under the guise of them possibly been a threat without any ability for them to retaliate.
How very hypocritical and altogether typical of every thing that Israel has become. No equality before the law, right to steal and destroy without any fear. After all saying anything about this beacon of morality is antisemitic lol
Psychopathic??
Only one psycho here!
Well in today’s world not believing the authority narrative and learning to think for yourself is considered a mental illness lol
But I really hope that I’m wrong in seeing almost everything that Israel says at the moment as just reverse projection.
Thinking for yourself and being right are two different things.
Tommy is almost right, it is only his premises that are fundamentally wrong.
Tommy is always wrong, it is on this fundamental premise that we must judge.
You are right out of your mind.
Mr. Anonymous is a tunnel visioned dumkop !
How people can still defend this behavior is beyond belief. Almost every thing that Israel says is the opposite of fact. Narrative control and reverse projection.
A democracy where people are treated differently before the law. Evil is ok because its beneficial for us and we are special people who are always just the victims….
But when you have psychopaths leading the country and running for office office again is it really any surprise that this is occurring?
” Almost every thing that Israel says is the opposite of fact.”
Of course, Tommy knows all of the “facts”.
The fact is Israel has agreement with Lebanon after the Israel evacuated half the country from the North to Negev in the last war and lost over 2500 soldiers dead and wounded . No , Bibi want to get his own country demolished by thousands of rockets . And what he will do destroy Lebanon or Israel if they all start shooting rockets from all the directions ? Iraq, Yemen, Gasa, Sinai , Lebanon , Syria and Turkomans . Yes he will be very precise in destroying Israel with his f-22`s .
tom, sounds like a perfect description of the practical tenets of Islam. The Yahwistic sects of christians and jews at least had starts in truth and integrity. Islam had it’s start in pillage, murder, and idolatry. If Israel’s neighbors would cease making existential threats, perhaps Israel would stop making nasty defenses.
> Almost every thing that Israel says is the opposite of fact. Narrative control and reverse projection.
Like Islam is “The Religion of Peace”???
9/11
I do beleive that is the same message every master of War throughout history has said as well. Then again if you where a military stratagist, and or important enough to have the welfare of your entire country in your hands, you wouldn’t be trolling here making these small minded comments.
“Small Minded”? Like embracing the oxymoron of “Islam is the Religion of Peace”?
Wrap your “small mind” around 9/11, London’s 7/7, Charlie Hebdo, Bataclan, Bastille Day in Nice France, Pan Am 103, Boston Marathon, Bataclan, Manchester arena, Moscow subway, Mumbai, Nairobi, 500,000 dead in Syrian Civil War, 1,000,000 dead in 8 year Iraq/Fascist Iran War, ISIS beheading videos, …
What an juvenile troll.
It means more money for gaza. This is routine.
“After all saying anything about this beacon of morality is antisemitic lol”
No Tommy, but spewing false disinformation about them certainly is antisemitism.
Yes!!! That’s the rule of law; don’t Fuss with us.
Hmm so NO equality before the law is ok?
Sounds like the same structure that was used in Apartheid or the 1930’s in Germany, but what do I know.
Maybe these systems of law are to be aspired to, yes? Whem has race based bias which oppresses a people ever been good? Special laws to favor Jews, tut tut lol
Tommy wants Israel to give equal rights to Natzi propagandists and terrorists? No Jew cam live in Jordan, they stone us for going into our own Holy Places, they try to rename our Jewish Holy sites where our Forefathers are buried and we have historical proof that these places were bought by Hebrew People but now that Islamists want to steal it together with Anti semites from Europe Tommy is happy! Tommy like most anti semites is happy to bash a Jew and incite hate against us! If anyone is Apartheid it is Germany, France, The Muslim world where Jew cannot own land visit, or play in Olympics, and teach that Jews must be wiped out because they are the infidel whereas, The Newly invented Fakestinians are the true inhabitants of the Land!Tommy is as real as the Fakestinians Ha Ha!
Obviously you don’t understand what a war is ..should he say « please choose the way you will retaliate ? Are you that stupid ?
Pig muhammad and never Tommy
Pig muhammad the invader of Europe
Salman Rushdie explained in the famous book Satanic Verses that Muslim pigs worship Satan
Muslim are using all their money to kill children like recently in Afganistan at a weeding ‘ killing all the children in a suicide terror near them
Ayatollah sentenced Salman rushdie to death but satan took the ayatolah
Salman Rushdie explained in his book satanic verses that muslim worship satan like Muhammad aka Tommy who uses all his money to kill children in Afganistan
Of course in Tommy’s world it remains perfectly acceptable for an Arab or Aryan terrorist regime to fire upon Israeli citizens…to “kill and maim anyone” in your own words. Just not acceptable to Mr. Tommy Gun for Israel to enjoy reciprocity. Israel just should “shut up and take it!”
Well little Islam stooge, it doesn’t work that way, as your Muslim brothers will find out as soon as they light their first firecracker against Israel.
And YOU talk about hypocrisy?? You missed your calling as a comic freak!
Tommy STFU demon inspired idiot
Just relax try not to be so obsessive about Israel and the Jews. Go play golf,enjoy life. Israel & the Jews will perdure-in spite all of the hate and envy of their enemies.
I do beleive that is the same message every master of War throughout history has said as well. Then again if you where a military stratagist, and or important enough to have the welfare of your entire country in your hands, you wouldn’t be trolling here making these small minded comments.
Well said, sad thing is all jews in my book have failed.
Tommy you are on the wrong site. Go to “Veterans Today” You will be a lot happier.
What an idiotic troll.
What an juvenile troll.
“Antifa” ( Isis) is looking for a few good Nazis to join their ranks.
Will General Soleimani prove to be a slow learner?
Who knows, will you keep going on about EMP and trains and famine?
For your very own Satanic verses vote for the right wing extremist factions and select the very best psychopath money can buy.
Vote Bibi for ethnic cleansing wars of conquest to make Israel great again.
All achieved by your American Tax dollars and no doubt our American Armed services blood when this blows up. But maybe I’m just been to cynical…
And then we look around Israeli society and what do we see? People of all ethnicities and religions, living together in peace. Try going to Gaza or the PA as a Christian or a Jew. Or an atheist. You won’t last long.
Tommy doesn’t leave mom’s basement. The lack of diversity there is staggering
WELL WRITTEN AND VERY TRUE.
“But maybe I’m just been to cynical…”
No, Tommy, you’re just too confused…………………..
Limited strike ? Give me a break.No one can predict how that turns out.One thing is sure Hizballah / Lebanon will pay again a heavy price.
correction, Lebanon civilians, but there will be no way back.
Let Hizbollah into your country, you have made your bed, Lebanon. Now SLEEP IN IT!
Hitler was Arrogant too.
Tommy.. or is it mustafa… The Jewish state ultimatum got under your skirt .. The ragheads overegged the pudding for years.. fact is Israel is ready to give your lot a thrashing beyond 67 ..
Great news. God bless America & Israel!!
Good to see PDJT consult to Egypt that put Hamas in its place. The Shiia know that America has No Military, Economic, Political or Cultural Equal. EU History left the Mideast, Asia & Africa, in an Mess that USA & Israel Leads to Make it Right with Might, as the only Alternative!
It is very sensible that if you want to stop sickos from attaking your country that you make every form of attack a reason to wipe out their infrastructure and munitions and terrorists who make their evil attaks possible.
Hizballah has long calibrated its responses but to actually fairly openly offer to limit its reprisals to me suggests Iran is very concerned that they are not able to execute and sustain a bigger reprisal.
It also comes at a time when Iran is making more noise about negotiating with the USA (might not sound like it to some but that’s what they’re doing). The sanctions have to be hurting Iran/Hizballah finances pretty badly and that may be affecting military/terrorist readiness.
The Chinese noises about negotiating with the USA are likely at least loosely linked to all of this as well. The linkage won’t be tight, however.
It appears the message I’ve advocated here for years, has been delivered to Lebanese leadership, no retaliation will occur,, no talks without sanctions removed, therefore no talks. War of Mullah attrition continues until the Rev Guards wake up to new masters, regime change, 2020.
iran needs a regime change, but it has to come totally from within. The last external change was operation ajax in 1953, which is the source of all the friction from then to now with iran.
Hizbollah, as a proxy of Iran, lobs rockets into Israel to kill innocents; Iran nationalized foreign oil interests prior to Operation Ajax, Chavez did the same. These countries’ regimes live on borrowed time.
Walter… Agree, but 1953 was 66 Years & 1979 40 Years ago, the Remarkable Iranian People are No Better Off & it was not all about AJAX. Britain, USA & USSR long Competed for Domination of Iran but Shah’s OPEC did him in the 1970s & OPEC No Longer Controls Oil Prices Anymore. https://www.jstor.org/stable/25482569?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents

Thanks Debka for fearing the Most High rather than man.
A Hizballah Buzzard Flying seeking Dead Caucuses. Suddenly a Whiz of an Arrow Pierce its Breast. Fluttering downward Lifeblood pours out, Looks at the Arrow & sees the Deadly Shaft Feathers with its own Plumes. Moral: Terrorists Often Give Defenders The Means For Their Own Destruction!
Leaders Lead But Bullies Boasts Until They Become The Toasts!
But, I was thinking …… During this Brexit turbulence, why take the risk to appear as having a grudge against The London Times. After all, The London Times once wrote:
His Majesty’s government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object
IDF should make this effort to take out at least a small missile factory or two!
Earl… EU is Not a Nation & Tusk Not Elected by Anyone as a Former, PM Insignificant Leftist of Poland own Party 0 Seats did not want him but EU Crown him for now? Meanwhile, Remarkable People in Iran, Iraqi, Syria, Kurds, Lebanon, & Yemen Plan their Own Revolving, Reckoning of Regimes on America-Israeli Power Timetables?

Is it any wonder that Zionist Jews are not as welcomed as they once were? Your behavior is noticed and you are reaping what you have sown. You behave like fascists now they dont like you, quite simple…
To say that Iran the big boogeyman for the moment is out to get you is a lie, Zionism and its behavior is what they dislike. Let’s not forget that Iran has the largest Jewish population in the Middle East out side of Israel. What’s more they dont want to move to Israel lol
This “tommy” is but one of countless (most likely compensated,) fake name Jew-baiting, mentally ill morons.
Speaking of mental defect: the fat rat nasralla and his huge rat-nest, this time around will be obliterated, together with much of Lebanon. Not that cowardly Bibi has changed – but if he has even a small chance holding on to the chair – his government will be Forced to act, Categorically !
If you want people to like you treat them with respect. Dont oppress the weak and bomb for political gain.
Yes it may be good politically in Israel and facilitates billions in American money (so a nice racket) but you reap what you show. Yes you have nuclear weapons and have the means to threaten and commit genocide and war crimes again and again. You like to play the perpetual victim and are very good at it.
But eventually the karmic bill will come due and then it will be your turn…
You realize that by leveling large parts of the country you will be creating countless new enemies as you did in 2006.
You cause incredible harm, they hate you and want revenge and then you whine and lament that people don’t like you?
Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result is a sign of madness. I dont think it’s a good strategy but if you like the harvest you know what to sow.
Tommy… One Cannot Preach Nor Teach Shouting & Spewing Hate Like Iran, Proxies Servants & You!
Libanon is said to have shoot at Israli drones: let see what is the answer….
The Mideast is still Western EU Monarchy Playground where Kids Fight Among One Another over Oil Discovered by West’s Adults & Must Teach, Preach, & Rule Children! Until They Learn From Being Like Israel! Like Little “Tommy!”
Tommy… “Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result is a sign of madness. I dont think it’s a good strategy but if you like the harvest you know what to sow”! So get some Help & Cut it Out!
Middle East Tribalism Among Greedy Shiia Leaders Gangsters That Choose To Kill One Another For The Power Of Purses That Curses Their Own People And Then Blame Israel? Leave Such Accomplish Thieves To Their Own “Fait Accompli”!
Hizballah will hit no matter and then if you want a war we will give you a war as usual. Plz do not forget to call some psychiatrists for your kids this time.
The Fighting Dramatically Escalates As Both Sides Prepare For “The Final War” Between Israel And Iran! http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/the-fighting-dramatically-escalates-as-both-sides-prepare-for-the-final-war-between-israel-and-iran
This is another Sh*t news from debka.
‘Crushing response’ – I thought Iran likes to be quoted this way.
Yosef:Iran is all propaganda,Israel means business 24/7 365 days a year.
Don’t harm Israelis or the jewish people.
Am Yisroel hai.
************************************ in conclusion to this article *******************************************
1. For Hezbollah there is this warning “You move, you die!”. I think they will try to harm Israel. If it happens, things will escalate and the reconstruction of Lebanon might take decades.
2. While in an war at North, any attack of Hamas will be answered with destructive force. I think they will try to harm Israel in concert with Hezbollah. In this case, the reconstruction of Gaza might take decades.
3. A minor point – there is a Tommy situation following his BDS hypnosis attack. He is first wrong, then over-wrong, because not paying attention to arguments. But there is no obligation to address him at all.
Yasmine… All Good Points & Response: 1. Lebanon Reconstruction been going on for Decades due to Hizballah! 2. Hamas has made Gaza Poverty Reconstruction State for Decades!! 3. Agree on Tommy he Ignores Himself by his Words, We Should Too!!! 4. Iran Regime Gone Hizballah & Hamas Follow!!!!
Servants with Hand Outs Never Lead just Bleed for the Masters!
PDJT Advances & Encourages Global Leaders of Britain Brexit, Israel Preemptive Proxy Strikes, India Taking Kashmir, Hong Kong Protests China, Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan on China South Seas, Eastern Europe on Challenging EU Immigration.
Not much to do, but hoping Hezz will attack and then the cards are free for Bibi.
I think Bibi did good job in showing restraint/ patience and warned them more than once.
Soon will be the right time to start carpetbombing Beirut and repeat the same ‘last warning’ to the likes of Iran/syria and Gaza.
the time of talking is over please: ONe last warning before hitting them like they have never seen before.
time to show IDF is still in great shape and painfull decisions will be made.
show no remorse please..not like 2006..Keep on bombing Dresden alike..only words Arabs understand.
20 years ago I was strongly opposed to Israel, and wished them bad luck.
Today, after paying attention and get properly informed, I really wish the Arabs a good lesson once and for all.
First, it was the Arab Nations that Misled the Palestinians to Abandon & Attack the UN Creation of Israel & Palestine State & Expelled Jewish Populations in their Nations that Returned to Israel. 2nd, those Nations chose 3 Wars & Palestinians Rejected 12 Peace Offers. 3rd, Some Arab Nations Chose Israel Recognition to Exists & Abandon Exiling Palestinians that Attacked them. 4th, then the Shiia took over Iran in 1979 Attacking Suinnis, Christians, and Jewish and Funding Terror throughout the Mideast. 5th Terror groups then continued to Attack their own Nations, The West, & have Reaped those Wayward War Winds Today
The Demographic Populations of Iran has changed whereby the Youth was not Born until after the Iran-Iraq War & won’t fight for the Shiia Regime like in the 1980s. Afghanistan has over 50% their Youth under 20 & Don’t Remember Won’t allow the Taliban Terror to Return even if America pulls out due 911. Both Nations Terror Regimes have been Changed & Hizballah will face the same Fate of Al Aqada, Taliaban, Brotherhood, ISIS, & Shiia Terror! True Power Wears Out & Thins Those That Don’t Have It!
Many Lebanese will welcome Attacks on Hizballah & Work to Betray Removal Them from Lebanon & Syria as well. They will end up in Camps like ISIS & Exiled in Iran. Proxies Servants Serve they do not Rule! Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon Yemen are Places of Devastation from Deviate Leadership that comes back on them! It won’t be Pretty & Hurts Neighbors as well, but it will end Hizballah in the end!
The point that Tommy has been making is clearly understood and relatively accurate even if prefer to ignore it.
As as always Haaretz is timely as ever.
https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-if-there-s-such-a-thing-as-a-murderous-culture-then-it-exists-in-israel-1.7765199
But i have to agree with that there is a time and a place for such discussions our sociable evils and maybe he should consider writing a few articles for Haaretz. The purpose of this site is not to focus on our inner demons so Tommy please leave these poor people alone to wallow in their own world view while you focus on more productive releases for your energy.
Judaism Culture has always been about Living Life Not a Murderous Culture of Death & You Have Been Corrected!
The Simple Truthful Reality is that Iran & Proxies Hamas, Hizballah, Houthis do Fear Israel and it shows how they have No Choice but to Accept the Deaths of Proxies Surrogate of their Own Operations Weapons Facilities. The Reality is few want to Employ or Deployed knowing the termination Policy is Life trying to Plan Death towards others?
America & Israel both have Abilities to Shoot Down any Drones with Laser Precision making them Obsolete! Iran Leadership is Impotent, Hizballah’s Cowards Remian Living in Man Made Caves, Hamas & Palestinians Give Speeches & Houthis Die Every Day by Arabian Hands.
Israel’s Bibi, has Brilliantly Turned an Uncontrollable Escalation to his Advantage. People Unite as a Crisis Exploit the situation to its utmost, by dragging the Nation to a Low Level Conflict!
The Question Essence Of Tragedy Isn’t The Conflict Of Right & Wrong, It Is The Conflict Of Right & Right Becomes Conflict Between Wrong & Wrong, For Every Death, There’s Always A Death To Be Avenged?
