Leave Lebanon Now - Saudi Embassy SMS message to nationals

Saudi Arabia urges nationals to leave Lebanon

Source: Albawaba

The Saudi embassy in Lebanon on Saturday urged its nationals to leave the country a day after a US warship was deployed off the Lebanese coast. The embassy sent SMS messages to Saudis living in Lebanon urging them to leave the country as soon as possible, Al Jazeera TV reported. "The Lebanese government has been informed of the measure taken by the Saudi Arabian embassy which has asked its citizens to exercise caution in their movements and to leave the country if possible," a Lebanese source told AFP.

Also on Saturday Al-Arabiya TV Network reported a similar measure taken by the Kuwaiti embassy in Beirut, but later denied it.

A few weeks ago, Riyadh issued an advisory calling on Saudis not to travel to Lebanon because of deteriorating political and security conditions. Kuwait and Bahrain followed with similar calls.

The U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer USS Cole, which was damaged by an inflatable boat attack off Yemen in October 200 killing 17 sailors is being placed off the Lebanese coast as bait for a false flag attack by an Iranian-made C-802 missilea like Hezbollah had used to damage a ziostaniac ship during the failed invasion of Lebanon.

What a setup - another symbolic terror attack on the Cole by the Iranians thru Hezbollah - these maniacs are so easy to read.

The Israelis don’t know what missile hit the (U.S.-manufactured) Israeli corvette Hanit on 14 July 2006. They guessed it was a Yingji (literally “Eagle Strike”) 82, made by the China Haiying Electromechanical Technology Academy. The Jewish name for that missile is C-802 (‘C’ for China).

This is not the best anti-ship missile in Iran’s arsenal, but it crippled the Hanit and sent some of its crew back to Satan.

For the Jewish maggots, it was a profound humiliation. :-)

I got that Iranian missile info here

You know they'll claim it was an Iranian built missile so they can use the old "supports terror" canard.

Good to see you back.

Sounds like another USS Liberty type incident could be in the works (when the Israelis deliberately attacked the USS Liberty and tried to blame it on Egypt almost igniting WW III in the process - see www.ussliberty.org and the following URL as well):

Israeli troops withdraw from Gaza
By IBRAHIM BARZAK, Associated Press Writer 29 minutes ago

Israeli ground troops pulled out of northern Gaza before daybreak Monday, following the first extended sweep in an offensive against Palestinian rocket squads that has left more than 100 dead and led the Palestinian president to call off peace talks.

Israeli infantry started withdrawing from the town of Jebalya after midnight following several days of fighting, the military said, but the government vowed it would continue its offensive against rocket squads. Overnight airstrikes targeting weapons manufacturing and storage facilities, a Hamas headquarters and groups of gunmen killed five Palestinians, all of them Hamas militants, Hamas said.

Yet despite days of fierce Israeli assaults, Gaza militants continued launching rocket barrages at areas in southern Israel, including Ashkelon, a city of 120,000. Three rockets hit Ashkelon on Monday morning, Israeli rescue services said, with one scoring a direct hit on an apartment building. No casualties were reported.

Palestinian medical teams found three more bodies in Jebalya after the Israeli troops left. At least one of them was a militant, they said. Residents who had been trapped in their houses for days began emerging, and some collected equipment left behind by the Israelis: ammunition clips, food cans, two bloody stretchers and a helmet with a bullet hole in it.

Jebalya resident Ahmed Dardouna said he and his nine children had been confined to one room of their house by soldiers who occupied it for three days.

"We couldn't distinguish day from night," he said. "The sounds of shooting and explosions, mixed with the screaming of soldiers and the screaming of my children who were asking to go to bathroom and for food is still in my ears."

In all, 117 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the fighting erupted last Wednesday, according to militants and medical officials. Roughly half the dead were civilians, the officials said. One Israeli civilian was killed by a rocket, and two Israeli soldiers were killed in the Jebalya fighting.

The moderate Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, put peace talks with Israel on hold, clouding an upcoming peace mission by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. The Israeli offensive also drew a chorus of international condemnation, with the EU, Turkey and U.N. chief Ban Ki-Moon accusing Israel of using excessive force in Gaza.

Despite the lopsided death toll, Hamas sent a message to reporters calling the pullout a retreat by the "cowardly" Israeli military. But Israel said the withdrawal didn't signal it was scaling back its Gaza operations.

"Our efforts against the rocket launchers and those who operate them will continue unabated until Israeli children will no longer be attacked while sitting in their own classrooms, and until their families can sit in their own homes without fear of a rocket crashing through their roof," government spokesman David Baker said.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said a full-scale invasion was still possible, and Israel might try to bring down the regime of the militant Islamic Hamas. "We will use force to change the situation," Barak said at a meeting late Sunday of security commanders, according to a statement from his office.

In the early hours of Monday, Palestinians counted nine separate Israeli airstrikes all over Gaza, one of them near the office of Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, who was not in the area at the time.

Vice Premier Haim Ramon said Israel should consider returning fire at the rocket launchers, even if it means shelling populated areas. "In the end, this will save lives on both sides," he said, since Palestinian civilians would either force the rocket squads from their neighborhoods or flee themselves. He told Israel Radio early Monday that "no reasonable country" would object to Israeli efforts to defend itself.

We can pretend that our awareness of the false flag plot to sacrifice the Cole to start a war with Iran has changed military policy:

Subject: Israel, Hezbollah: Gearing Up for Another War?

Strategic Forecasting, Inc.

ISRAEL, HEZBOLLAH: GEARING UP FOR ANOTHER WAR?

Summary
A number of indications suggest that Israel and Hezbollah could be
readying themselves for a military confrontation in Lebanon in the near
future. Israel's operations in Gaza could be an attempt to ensure it only
has to fight on one front, and Stratfor sources report Hezbollah is
gearing up for a battle.

Analysis
With Palestinian rocket barrages continuing and Israel threatening to
reoccupy the Gaza Strip, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is
visiting Cairo, Ramallah and Jerusalem on March 4 with the ill-fated goal
of reviving Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. While the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict is bound to flare up every now and then, there appears to
be a bigger issue in play. Israel's current focus on degrading the
Palestinians' rocket-launching ability could in fact be tied to possible
Israeli intentions to wage war against Hezbollah in the near future.

Israel launched a major offensive into the Gaza Strip on Feb. 29 after
Palestinian militants lobbed around 20 Soviet-designed Grad rockets (a
step up from the usual homemade Qassam rockets) into the coastal
Israeli city of Ashkelon, 11 miles north of Gaza. These rockets are more
disruptive than deadly, but they inflict a heavy psychological toll on
Israel. The Israeli government came under heavy pressure to respond in
force, particularly after a Qassam attack killed a civilian in the southern
Israeli town of Sderot.

Despite international condemnation, Israel has made clear that its
operations in Gaza are not over. Haaretz reported March 4 that Israeli
Defense Minister Ehud Barak said this is not a quick operation, but
rather a long process that will involve more intense offensives. Israeli
Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni even threatened that Israel would reoccupy
the Gaza Strip if necessary.

Israel's big push on Gaza might be driven by concerns larger than just
its conflict with the Palestinians, however. There are a number of
indications that Israel could be readying itself for a military
confrontation with Hezbollah in Lebanon in the summer. The Israelis have been
extending unusual carrot and stick offers to Syria as a warning to stay out
of their fight with Hezbollah; U.S. warships are sitting off the coast
of Lebanon, signaling possible U.S. intervention; and Hezbollah --
along with its Syrian and Iranian patrons -- appears to be making
preparations for a coming war.

According to a Stratfor source in Lebanon, a large contingent of
Iranian foreign intelligence officers, military officials and security
experts have recently arrived in Beirut. Iranian missile and tactical support
experts are allegedly in control of several military operations rooms
recently set up by Hezbollah in the southern Lebanese town of Nabatiye
and the Bekaa Valley towns of Mashghara and Al Hirmil. Stratfor has
discussed before the Iranian intent to secure its grip over Hezbollah
ahead of any major confrontation with Israel.

Hezbollah, according to a Stratfor source, also is transporting a
large number of Zelzal missiles to the heights of the West Bekaa valley.
These unguided rockets are large and difficult to transport or hide. They
did not make an appearance in the 2006 conflict; however, if Hezbollah
has managed to acquire several Zelzals, these long-range rockets could
send a large warhead deep into Israeli territory. And Hezbollah is
digging out tunnels and underground shelters, reorganizing its command
structure in the western Bekaa Valley and training under Iranian military
commanders in Tehran. Moreover, Stratfor has received reports that
Hezbollah is installing explosive devices in Iranian-built Mohajer unmanned
aerial vehicles and has acquired new antitank guided missiles.

While Hezbollah appears to be digging in for a fight, Israel is
focusing on diminishing the threat it faces on the Palestinian front. Embedded
in a section on manpower requirements and reserve mobilization in the
final Winograd report on Israel's performance in the 2006 conflict,
several points were made on the difficulties Israel faced due to slow
decision-making in fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon while simultaneously
conducting operations against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The difficulty during
that conflict was not in fighting the Palestinians per se, but in
having enough manpower to cover both fronts. If Israel can manage to
degrade a fair amount of Hamas' rocket-launching capability in Gaza ahead of
a military confrontation with Hezbollah, it can clear its plate a bit
and focus more intently on the issue of allocating enough forces to
impose a military defeat on Hezbollah.
