’Israeli’ Forces Train to Invade Southern Lebanon, Gaza

Local Editor

"Israeli" forces carried out intensive training that simulate a ground invasion of southern Lebanon and seized Gaza, according to "Israeli" military sources as al-Manar TV network said on Wednesday.

"Israeli" military sources said the role of the regime's infantry troops during any war against Hizbullah and the Palestinian resistance will be essential in order to dismantle their rocket-launching capabilities.

The "Israeli" regime suffered heavy losses during its past military aggression against southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip as a result of the intense showering of rockets launched in response to "Israeli" aerial and artillery attacks on the two areas.

"Israel's" much publicized "Iron Dome" missile system proved incapable of intercepting many of the incoming rockets fired by Palestinian resistance forces in response to "Israeli" military aggression.

In the 2006 July War, "Israel's" offensive against Lebanon killed and injured thousands of Lebanese. Over 120 "Israeli" soldiers were also killed and over a thousand injured, which are by far the highest casualties the "Israeli" military has seen in numerous wars since its occupation of Palestinian territories in 1948.

"Israel" launched a major military offensive against the besieged Gaza Strip on November 14, 2012, leaving over 160 Palestinians, including many women and children, dead and about 1,200 others injured.
