Israel’s War Plan against Hezbollah was Created over a Year Ago

Israeli war plans used for this current conflict was designed over a year ago to combat Hezbollah. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Israel was concerned with Hezbollah’s buildup of weapons, since it withdrew from Lebanon in 2000. Israel had made simulations and rehearsed for this conflict for the past two years or so. Senior Israeli military officials even displayed power point presentation to US diplomats, journalists and members of a few think tanks.
The war plan was formulated to last 3 weeks long, with the first week concentrating on the destruction of Hezbollah’s long range missiles, followed by the destruction of control centers, transportation and communication facilities. The second week zeros in on individual ammunition sites and missile launching sites. The third week features commando attacks and mobilizing ground troops to disable Hezbollah’s strongholds in Southern Lebanon
