DEBKAfile: This was Iran’s first direct guarantee of support for the embattled Lebanese Shiite group since hostilities were launched Wednesday, July 12. It is interpreted as a promise of weapons and, if necessary, fighting men to avert a Hizballah defeat. DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources see also a message addressed to the Olmert government that Israel will not achieve its objectives in Lebanon or succeed in dictating new rules. Earlier, Tehran threatened Israel against attacking Syria An Iranian spokesman said Sunday: “We are standing by the Syrian people. Israel faces “unimaginable losses”. Hizballah was not mentioned. The Syrian government promised “a firm, direct and unlimited response to any attack by Israel.” Israeli spokesmen have reiterated that Syria is not targeted for attack but accused Iran of helping Hizballah attack the Israeli missile boat Friday. The night of July 12, after the Hizballah kidnap of two Israeli soldiers, DEBKAfile reported that Iran’s national security adviser Ali Larijani flew into Damascus in line with the recently-signed Iranian-Syrian mutual defense pact. His presence affirmed that an Israeli attack on Syria will be deemed an assault on Iran. It also links the Israeli hostage crisis to Iran’s nuclear standoff with the West. The Syrian army went on a state of preparedness as did the Iranian air force, missile units and navy are also on high alert. DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources report Hizballah acted on orders from Tehran to open a second front against Israel, partly to ease IDF military pressure on the Hamas in the Gaza Strip, but also for three more reasons:. 1. To show the flag as a champion and defender of its ally, Hamas. 2. To complement to its latest order to go into action against American and British forces in southern Iraq. 3. To hijack the agenda of the G-8 summit in St. Petersberg and divert it from Iran’s nuclear case and the situation in Iraq. Before their attack, our sources reported Hizballah’s leaders went into hiding and moved stocks of ordnance and missile underground to the Palestinian Ahmed Jibril’s tunnel system at Naama, 30 km south of Beirut, which was built in the 1980s by East German engineers.
