WNU Editor: Israel has been preparing for such a conflict for the past few months .... Israel To Hold Massive Military Drills Simulating A War With Hezbollah (September 4, 2017). As to what is my take on the possibility of An Israeli-Hezbollah war .... if there was ever a time for Israel to a lunch a major military strike .... it would be now. Hezbollah is focused on providing support to Syria/Ira/and Russia in ending the war in Syria .... their focus is not on Israel right now. But my money is on Israel doing nothing.
