The choreographed 遠出 also was 明確に meant to send a strong message to イスラエル: Hezbollah is here and ready in 事例/患者 of a war.

The 小旅行する, put together by Hezbollah's マスコミ office, was the first since an 十分な説得力のない monthlong war with イスラエル in 2006. It (機の)カム まっただ中に 高くする,増すd 緊張s along the 国境 between the old adversaries, with each 味方する 約束ing to (打撃,刑罰などを)与える 大規模な 死傷者s on the other in any 近づいている 衝突.

In the past month, イスラエル has 明かすd a 計画(する) to 避難させる up to a 4半期/4分の1-million 非軍事のs from 国境 communities in 事例/患者 of attacks from Hezbollah or other Islamic 交戦的な groups. It held a 演習 at a base in northern イスラエル ふりをするing a Lebanese village and an 都市の 戦争 環境 that Israeli 軍隊/機動隊s struggled with in 2006.

イスラエル has also built up its ミサイル 弁護s, 明かすing earlier this month a 共同の U.S.-Israeli 迎撃戦闘機 to 反対する medium-範囲 ロケット/急騰するs 所有するd by Hezbollah.

Hezbollah 長,指導者 Hassan Nasrallah has said the group is not 捜し出すing a 再開 of 敵意s but 公約するd that if war did begin, his 軍隊s would strike イスラエル's Dimona 核の 施設s. Hezbollah 公式の/役人s also have signaled that the next war will 伴う/関わる 闘士,戦闘機s infiltrating イスラエル's northern 解決/入植地s.

At the 国境 Thursday, Hezbollah 公式の/役人s were keen to point out it is イスラエル that is 準備するing for war, showing 新聞記者/雑誌記者s a 一連の 要塞s made by I sraeli 軍隊/機動隊s across the 国境 in the past year to guard against 心配するd Hezbollah infiltration, 含むing 抱擁する 固める/コンクリート 封鎖するs, barbed and electrified 盗品故買者s, and 深い ざん壕s carved in the valley.

Standing at the 国境 in Labbouneh, 近づく the 沿岸の town of Naqoura, a Hezbollah officer in uniform and sunglasses said the 対策 最高潮の場面 the changes in イスラエル's 計算/見積りs.

"For the first time in this enemy's history, it is switching from an 不快な/攻撃 to a 防御の doctrine," the man who identified himself as "Ehab" told 新聞記者/雑誌記者s. He then 動揺させるd off the 指名するs of Israeli 解決/入植地s across the horizon - Shlomi, Hanita and others - 同様に as the 指名するs of 旅団s and Israeli 指揮官s to show his 軍の knowledge of the area.

Hezbollah 広報担当者 Mohammad Afif then pointed across the 国境.

"This big city you see 権利 there is Haifa, it's not that far from us... Nahariya, Acre and Haifa - they're all a 石/投石する's throw away," he said.

The Labbouneh 場所/位置 was one of three 国境 points visited Thursday on the U.N.-drawn "Blue Line," 含むing a point 権利 across from a large Israeli 監視 地位,任命する and レーダ at Jal al-Alam.

The 小旅行する, under the gaze of U.N (国連の)平和維持軍s based in the 国境 town of Naqoura, いつかs took on a theatrical nature. At one point, as 新聞記者/雑誌記者s walked 近づく an Israeli 監視 地位,任命する, two Italian U.N. (国連の)平和維持軍s (機の)カム running up the hill, shouting for the group to stop taking photos - 明らかに taken by surprise that such a large group was so の近くに to the usually 砂漠d frontier.

The Lebanese-Israeli frontier has been mostly 静かな since the 2006 war, which broke out after the Iranian-支援するd 交戦的な group's ゲリラ兵s crossed into イスラエル and 逮捕(する)d two Israeli 兵士s. The 続いて起こるing 衝突 killed about 1,200 Lebanese, most of them 非軍事のs, and 160 Israelis.

The war ended with a U.N. 決意/決議 that created a 緩衝地帯 which was supposed to be 解放する/自由な of Hezbollah 交戦的なs.

Brig. Gen. 押し通す Yavne, he 広告 of the Israeli 軍の's 戦略の 分割, said the 最新の show of 武器 was "more blunt" than usual, but 違反s of the U.N. 決意/決議 are nothing new.

He said the 国境 小旅行する was まず第一に/本来 a message of "相互の deterrence" with イスラエル and that while イスラエル takes the 脅し 本気で, Thursday's show of 軍隊 would not change the 全体にわたる "calculus."

"I don't think this organization is in a very comfortable 状況/情勢 these days," he said. "Its leadership 絶対 understands the cost of an escalation."

Israeli 公式の/役人s say Hezbollah has 意味ありげに 昇格d its 能力s with a larger, more sophisticated 兵器庫 since the 2006 war. While 大部分は staying out of the Syrian civil war, the Israeli 軍の has carried out a number of airstrikes against 嫌疑者,容疑者/疑うd 武器 出荷/船積みs believed to be 長,率いるd to Hezbollah.

Hezbollah, which is fully immersed in the Syrian war and has lost more than 1,000 of its 闘士,戦闘機s there, 明確に has no appetite for a fight. But Salem Zahran, a Hezbollah-提携させるd 分析家 on the 小旅行する, said another war between the two was 必然的な and was tied to the Syrian 衝突, where there have been ゆらめく-ups with イスラエル in the Golan area south of Damascus.

The next war will not take place only on Lebanese 領土, but also in Syria and "inside 占領するd パレスチナ," Zahran said.

He said Hezbollah 手配中の,お尋ね者 to send a message through the 小旅行する, in 事例/患者 イスラエル was 準備するing for war. "The message is I see you, and I have another シナリオ for you."
