May 23, 2013 – ISRAEL – A day after the IDF and the Syrian Army exchanged fire in the Golan Heights, Israel Air Force chief Maj.-Gen. Amir Eshel warned that Israel must be prepared for a “surprise war” developing. Speaking at a conference in Herzliya focusing on the conclusions of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Eshel stated that “a surprise war can develop today in many forms. Isolated events can escalate very quickly and require that we are ready in hours to act in the full spectrum – and when I say the full spectrum, I mean activating the full capabilities of the Air Force.” Eshel stated that, in the Second Lebanon War, the IAF had employed just a “small amount” of its capabilities, but that in the next war, the Air Force “will need to give 100 percent, in order that our operations will be very quick and powerful.” After Russia said last week that it remains committed to an arms deal with Syria to deliver the S-300 air defense system to the Assad regime, Eshel warned that the advanced platform could change the equation. “The Assad regime invested a great deal in order to achieve the best air defense capabilities that it could buy. Systems such as these are not just an operative threat, they also give a sense of security that can cause countries to do things they would not otherwise do.” Eshel stated that the air defense system represented weaponry “from a completely different generation, which does not resemble what has come in the past.” He added, however, that “there is no system which does not have a solution, the only question is, at what cost.” Eshel stated that Syria was “changing before our eyes. If [the regime] should collapse tomorrow, we may very quickly find its large arsenal scattered and directed toward us.” –Jerusalem Post
Ok. it is not if a mid east war happens, it is just when and that can happen any day now it seems.
However, it seems that Israel is committed to the destruction of certain weapons that they feel pose a direct threat to them. Presently, I am surprised that Israel has not struck the reported surface to surface missiles Syria has readied for launch in the event of another air strike.
Reports have also stated that Israel would strike the newly delivered Russian S-300 anti-air craft missiles even if Russian support personal were killed. That is very a bold statement.
I believe at this time, Israel is laying the foundation for a pre-emptive strike that may include weapons of mass destruction. Israel has done this before, that is, a pre-emptive strike but without weapons of mass destruction.
I am under the belief that if a middle east war between Israel and the Arabs occurs, we could see
extensive terrorist strikes here in the USA.
We live in a world of constant chance……….don’t we……..

Maybe Dennis,however the prudent question to ask following your extensive terrorist strikes within the US is who is actually doing the strikes,bearing in mind the cui bono angle coupled with one countries propensity & history of carrying out false flag operations.

Things are really shaking up. The U.S. is having violent tornadoes, China is having environmental problems, the Mid-East is ready to explode, and today there two large quakes in the Tonga region, a 7.4 followed by a 6.6. I hope everyone has their seatbelt buckled, this ride is already getting wild.

All Israel ever seem to do is warmonger! They help maintain, and escalate problems then cry that they’re the victims. In the end, there will be war, too many Govts trying to achieve their own goals. Whilst humans walk this planet there will ALWAYS be conflict, it’s what we do!
