The death toll of the Israeli aggression against Gaza nears 700.
Tel Aviv has warned Hezbollah against intervening in the war on Gaza after
Israeli fighter jets conducted overflights into Lebanon.
In a veiled reference to Hezbollah on Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud
Olmert said Tel Aviv is on high alert to respond to any threat coming from its
northern fronts.
"Let it be clear, we will make no compromise on our security... No one should
get the wrong impression over our determination and our alertness on any front.
We are not afraid of any confrontation or threat," Olmert said.
"We truly hope that no one will put us to the test," he added.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak also issued
<http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1053014.html> a strong warning to
Hezbollah.
"Our eyes are also on events up north…We are ready, waiting and following all
developments," he said.
His comments come after Israeli fighter jets conducted an overflight in
Lebanese skies in what has been described by some as an attempt to provoke the
Lebanese Hezbollah to intervene in the war on Gaza.
Tel Aviv waged war on the Gaza Strip on December 27 and began what it claims
is a

"long-lasting" ground invasion of the area on Saturday night.
Lebanon's Information Minister Tarek Mitri made clear on Tuesday that
Hezbollah would not get involved in the most recent Israeli war. "We have not
received from Hezbollah any sign that they will risk dragging Lebanon into this
conflict."
He, however, warned that if the conflict in Gaza carries on and casualties
mount, there could be an escalation and "spillover of the violence".
"The more there is a delay for the international community to act, the more
there is anger.....Whether this would lead Hezbollah to react, I don't know,"
he said.
Hezbollah has reportedly doubled its military might since its victory over Tel
Aviv in the 33-day Israeli war against Lebanon in July 2006.
Israel fought a 33-day war against Hezbollah in the summer of 2006 to destroy
the military power of the Lebanese resistance group. According to a recently
published Winograd report, the attack backfired and wreaked a humiliating
defeat on Israel.
In a <http://www.presstv.com/Detail.aspx?id=73865&sectionid=351020202>
recent report, the Washington Institute for Near East Policy revealed that a
third military conflict between Lebanon's Hezbollah and Israel is likely to
happen in the near future.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom

with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone
astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy
Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in
His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites
(men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I
am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if
Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of
camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever
calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who
follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
