PREPARATIONS FOR A NEW WAR?

It may seem unlikely that Hezbollah might get ready to attack Israel. But they seem also serious about it. Since i got the Internet connection, crappy but still a connection that works from time to time, even if it throws me out often, I'm getting in touch with what the local press writes and what the agenda is here. I found two news stories on two diferent outlets today. One is on Now Lebanon :

The Italian daily Corriere Della Sera on Friday reported that Hezbollah officials visited Russia in early July and struck a deal whereby Moscow would supply the party with anti-missile systems and anti-tank missiles.
The newspaper reported that three high-ranking Hezbollah officials showed great interest in buying Russian weapons that had proved effective in the recent war with Israel.
The three officials, the paper added, entered Russia on Iranian passports and visited “Expo 2008,” an exhibit of military technology and ammunition, in the region of Sverdlosk from July 9 to July 12, 2008.

The other was on Naharnet:

Hizbullah to Israel: Expect Huge Surprises Soon
Hizbullah threatened "earth shattering" retaliation against Israel which the group accuses of killing its top commander Imad Mughniyeh in a car bombing in Damascus last February."Retaliation is coming soon," Hizbullah official in south Lebanon Sheikh Ahmad Mrad said in remarks published by the daily Al Akhbar on Friday. "Retaliation is going to be earth shattering and there will be huge surprises," he vowed. "Resistance weapons will stay in the hands of Hizbullah until Palestine is liberated," Mrad pledged. He declared that Hizbullah would go deep into Palestine and vowed that "Israel will no longer exist on the map."

I might go to the South next week. It depends if we get permission or not to film in Bint Jbeil and a few other villages. It takes time for them to verify me and Antena 3 too. It shouldn't be difficult. I've got nothing to hide. :)
One of my friends is trying to find one or two Romanian doctors working in hospitals in the south. And it also depends on renting a car for one or two days. But we might just make it.
