Good News: Hezbollah Preparing for War


Hezbullah has sent a group that looks a bit more fearsome than these guys (from the 2006 Second Lebanon War) to train on Fateh 110 rockets in Iran.

Hizbullah has conducted missile maneuvers on Fateh 110 rockets in Iran, reported the Kuwaiti al-Rai newspaper on Saturday.

Sources concerned told the paper that the units participating in the maneuvers have returned to Lebanon after demonstrating great prowess in using this long-range missile.

The newspaper also highlighted the fact that the party's maneuvers coincided with Israeli military maneuvers, which it interpreted as a growing readiness by both sides to wage a new war that is expected to be "the last of the wars" due to its expected highly destructive nature.

More on the Fateh 110 here. You may recall that in the last war, Israel wiped out Hezbullah's long-range missile capability on the ground. Heh.
