In his latest address in Beirut on Thursday, the terrorist leader announced he does not need weapons to topple the government of Siniora, whose anti-Syrian policies run the current Lebanese government. "Our weapons are pointed only at Israel," Nasrallah said, dispelling fears that he plans to bring Lebanon into a civil war.
In what began as a Hizbullah support rally earlier this month, Hizbullah is now leading a snowball momentum to topple the Siniora government, vowing to do so without lifting arms. He has said that he will succeed without the need to fire a weapon as is being alleged by Siniora and other Hizbullah opponents.
While Western leaders are phoning Siniora and expressing support for his administration, it appears that the Lebanese prime minister’s days in office may well be numbered. Siniora continues to refuse calls to resign, insisting he will not voluntarily step down from office.
At one recent weekend rally in downtown Beirut, Nasrallah succeeded in bringing out 800,000 people to the streets in support of his call for more Hizbullah participation in the government - or else new elections.
Speaking via a live video link from his hideout to tens of thousands of cheering supporters in central Beirut, Nasrallah accused the prime minister of trying to thwart Hizbullah in its recent war against Israel. Thousands of Lebanese soldiers and police are deployed in downtown Beirut and other city areas, while the government headquarters, where Siniora and his ministers are holed up, is surrounded by barbed wire and armored cars.
Israel is watching the events closely and has placed northern border troops on heightened alert.
The fall of Siniora would signal an even increasingly hostile Lebanese border, since the country would then fall into the hands of the pro-Iranian Islamic fundamentalist control of Hizbullah.
Working his anti-government campaign tactfully, the Hizbullah leader stated that unnamed government ministers have been in contact with the United States, which in turn contacted Israel with the mission of destroying Hizbullah. Nasrallah proudly stated that America/Israel failed in their mission, and vowed to bring his terror organization to power despite US efforts to keep Siniora in office.
In Israel, intelligence community officials are in agreement that a third war in Lebanon is likely, with military forces preparing for any eventuality as the government continues probing the failures of the Second Lebanon War.
IDF Homefront Commander Major-General Gershon Yitzchak released a number of alarming statements this week, stating some two million Israelis are without a proper bomb shelters near their homes and an even larger number are without gas mask personal protection kits. He warned that the next war will be different, predicting that missiles will not only fall in the north, but also in population centers throughout the country.
