Israel is also not optimistic .... The Northern Front is at a Boiling Point (Israel Defense).

Update: Are Israel and Hizbollah on the brink of war? -- Raphael D. Marcus, King's College London/The Telegraph

WNU Editor: Questions and speculations on why a top Iranian General was with Hezbollah fighters in the Syrian Golan Heights are going to be debated among pundits/Israeli Generals/and observers for the short term (I personally believe that they were there to coordinate operations against Syrian rebels and not to attack Israel). But the outcome of this strike is now predictable, heightened tensions and a need for Hezbollah/Iran to retaliate. My prediction .... if it was not for the Syrian civil war and Hezbollah's deep involvement in it .... they would be launching mortar and missile strikes against northern Israel right now. But because they are involved in Syria's bloody and brutal civil war, and they are facing growing resentment within Lebanon itself .... I expect Hezbollah to hold back from any major strike .... for now. As for what Iran may do .... they are also in a quandary. The war against the Islamic State and supporting Syrian President Assad is their primary military focus right now .... not launching retaliatory raids against Israel. But they will have to respond to maintain their credibility among their supporters in the region ... so expect something in the days/weeks/months ahead.
