Hezbollah Builds a Wall

Debka is reporting that the Syrians and Hezbollah are building a fortified wall in eastern Lebanon.

Hizballah and Syria are building a massive fortified wall, running from Rashaya Al-Wadi on the western, Lebanese slopes of Mt. Hermon (85 kilometers southeast of Beirut) in the south, to the Lebanese Beqaa Valley town of Aita el-Foukhar, in the north, debkafile’s military sources reveal.

The structure, 22 kilometers long in parallel to the Lebanese-Syrian border promises to be one of the biggest fortified structures in the Middle East.
It is designed as an obstacle against any Israeli tank forces heading through Lebanon toward the Syrian capital, Damascus. When it is finished, the barrier will isolate a key Lebanese border region - 14 kilometers wide and 22 kilometers long - from the rest of the country and place it under Hizballah-Syrian military control.

Please read the entire article for more important information.

Analysis: Here is the main point of the article as I see it. “Syria stands to gain another prime strategic asset with its control of Rashaya Al-Wadi, at the southernmost point of the new wall:

This scenic village commands the Taim valley, whence flow a number of water courses that feed the River Jordan and the Sea of Galilee; for the first time in many years, Damascus will be placing a hand on one of Israel’s primary water sources.”

The only thing more important in the Middle East than oil is fresh water. This is not “another button pushed”. This is the engine fire light glowing brightly in Israel’s face.

Juxtapose this with the post on Karrazi’s admission of Iran’s intentions and you have the recipe for a glorious mess.

Note:  Hezbollah, Syria, Lebanon and Iran ... are covering the news this Saturday, May 15, 2010, in case some have not noticed concerns rising about this group and their intentions.  What do you suppose Obama's paying attention to today?   Bee Sting
