Israel  must be wary of this development given their experiences in the 2006 war against  Hezbollah. If Hezbollah does get drawn into the fighting, this could well see  Israel at the center of a broader regional conflict. There appears little doubt  that Iran and Syria would support Hezbollah in any such offensive. Given the  10,000 plus Syrian troops poised on Lebanos\u2019 Northern border, it seems unlikely  that the fragile coalition Lebanese government could do much to inhibit  Hezbollah\u2019s offensive.<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s <strong>Press TV<\/strong> quotes the Lebanese paper <em>al-Hayat<\/em> as the the source of the report:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cTurkey and Egypt are reportedly planning to warn Israel that any  ground offensive in the Gaza Strip would trigger a response by Hezbollah. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Citing Turkish sources, the Lebanese daily al-Hayat reported Tuesday that  the two countries are seeking to warn Tel Aviv that Hezbollah might open a new  front against Israel in Southern Lebanon, should Israeli army launch a ground  incursion into the costal sliver.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Tel Aviv has deployed thousands of troops along the Gaza Strip border on  Tuesday, raising concerns over an imminent ground incursion into the  region.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The report came amid the ongoing aerial attacks which have so far left  over 385 people killed and 1,800 others wounded in the Hamas-held territory.

A total of 101 Russian  citizens and 70 citizens of other CIS member countries crossed the border. Only  several people remain at the Eretz checkpoint, who have some unsettled problems  with the Israeli security services. Their settlement is going on. A truck column  with the refugees will soon go to the Jordanian-Israeli border, and from there  to Amman, where two planes of the Russian Emergencies Ministry (EMERCOM) are  waiting for them. <\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/www.worldnetdaily.com\/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=80946\"> daily.com\/ index.php?  fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=80946<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--~-|**|PrettyHtmlStart|**|-~--><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; font-size: 1px; color: #ffffff;\">.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Email Written by dailyclarity on Jan-1-09 11:11am From: mydailyclarity. com According to Turkish sources Hezbollah has said it will attack Israel from Southern Lebanon if ground troops are sent into the Gaza.
