Sharon Prepares to Settle Scores with Hizballah
(London Times) "It is clear to us that Hizballah is our job in the war against terrorism," said an officer in Israel's anti-terror branch. "If they are stupid enough to open a second front during the war with Iraq, it will give us a great pretext." The Israelis believe the group has 10,000 rockets; most are short-range Russian Katyushas, but the real cause for concern are Iranian-made Zelzal-2 and Fajr rockets, with a range of 120 miles or more, that could hit Tel Aviv and Haifa, handled by Iranian Revolutionary Guards based in the Bekaa valley.
