’Israel’ Prepares for Third War with Hizbullah

Local Editor

The fears of defeat in Lebanon's 2006 War at the hands of Hizbullah still haunt the "Israeli" apartheid army.

Ten years on the war and amidst fears of suffering the same fate, the "Israeli" army is testing out what it called "future weapons" as a preparation for the coming battle against Hizbullah.

At a giant computer lab in the Kiryat Krenizi settlement, the "Israeli" army held its largest ever battle simulation against Hizbullah using its newest, most cutting edge weapons systems.

According to "Israeli" military reports this exercise was carried out at the brigade level, and included soldiers from the "Golani Brigade", the "Israeli" army's 7th Tank Brigade, a tactical drone unit, "Israeli" army combat engineers and more - all under florescent lighting and in air-conditioned offices.

Some of the weapons systems which were tested are unable to be tested in live fire drills either due to budgetary issues or because their safety hasn't been proven yet.

The majority of the new fighting systems being tested out in these simulators are still works in progress, and are top secret. However, one of the systems which are allowed to be written about is the "Spark".

The "Spark" is a next generation anti-tank missile which is expected to replace the "Gil" missile which is currently in used by the "Israeli" military. There are many benefits to the "Spark" which include an upgraded targeting system and a considerable reduction in weight, thereby enabling greater ease of maneuverability by ground forces.

There was also the testing of a brand new, first of its kind precision GPS guided mortar, a command and control ground forces system which enables ground forces to coordinate directly with air force pilots in the air, and small observation balloons which are expected to be used by all ground forces in the coming years.

In their drills, "Israeli" soldiers are trained to invade Lebanese villages, and fought against Hizbullah platoons - but via giant plasma screens, keyboards, joysticks, virtual reality goggles, and various other simulators. It was like a giant war videogame, with over 150 soldiers online, around the clock, for two days.

The simulators which were used in the drill were developed by the so-called "Israeli" Ground Forces Command programmers, many of whom are 19-year-old "computer geniuses," and were based on games such as Call of Duty and Battlefront. However, the graphics and 3D imagery in these simulators would put even the most advanced videogames to shame.

In one of the giant rooms sat the "Hizbullah unit," made up of "Israelli" occupation soldiers and officers playing the part of the revolutionary fighting the "Israeli" Golani and tank forces in the drill.

The major who was in charge of the "Hizbullah unit" said, "In general, we only bring a single platoon of soldiers. But this time, we brought an entire brigade. This is the largest drill to be held in this lab since it was built 20 years ago."

The commander then explained his objective as "Hizbullah unit commander." He said "our objective is to defend the area around the Lebanese village. We drew up our battle plans based on actual Hizbullah strategies and weapons. In pretending to be Hizbullah we used their actual strategies, such as the use of tunnels."

He went on to say that these strategies and weapons had been collected by the "Israeli" intelligence on the Lebanese group.

The "Israeli" entity is investing a lot of money and time let alone risk in the production of such high-tech systems. It all comes down to its anxiety of being defeated by Hizbullah in the 3rd Lebanon War.
