The IDF on Sunday mobilized a reserve infantry division in preparation for a possible ground incursion into south Lebanon, The Jerusalem Post has learned. The move was intended as the beginning of a new effort to push Katyusha rocket launching cells away from the Israel-Lebanon border.

The division was setting up command posts along the northern border, while tanks and armored personnel carriers were being transported northward.

...

Meanwhile, Al-Arabiya television reported that the Syrian military was mobilizing its own reserve divisions.

2. While I have read many thoughtful and equally-valid opinions to...

...the contrary, I believe you're right but with one key switch in phrasing: I believe Israel, vis-a-vis Olmert, isn't going to be happy until Syria attacks it.

Syria vows to respond directly to any Israel strike

DAMASCUS (AFP)
Syria has warned it would respond directly and by all means necessary to any Israeli attack on its territory, in its first official reaction to
Israel's offensive on neighboring Lebanon.

The warning coincided Sunday with a similar threat by Damascus's key ally
Iran, and came amid rising fears that the Middle East is being dragged deeper into the spiraling conflict sparked by the capture of Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon and militants linked to Hamas in Gaza.

"Any Israeli attack against Syria will provoke an unlimited, direct and firm response using all means necessary," Information Minister Mohsen Bilal told the official SANA news agency.

4. In related news, France, Russia, Austria-Hungary , Imperial

Germany announce partial to full mobilization of armies. Great Britain is staying out of this unless Belgium is over-run. (Historical point here is a chilling similarity).

5. This isnt the first time Israel will be taking on the entire Arabic world

Only this time both Iraq and Eygpt will not be involved.

Iran, Lebanon, and Syria versus Israel?

Piss poor odds for the Arabics.
