Israel braces for July war
with up to 5 enemies

JERUSALEM — Israel is preparing for imminent war with Iran, Syria
and/or their non-state clients [in Palestine and Lebanon].
Israeli military intelligence has projected that a major attack
could come from any one of five adversaries in the Middle East.
Officials said such a strike could spark a war as early as July 2007.
On Sunday, Israeli military intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Amos
Yadlin told the Cabinet that the Jewish state faces five
adversaries in what could result in an imminent confrontation.
Yadlin cited Iran, Syria, Hizbullah, Hamas and Al Qaida.
"Each of these adversaries is capable of sparking a war in the
summer," Yadlin was quoted as saying.
[On Monday, Al Qaida's No. 2 Ayman Zawahiri endorsed the Hamas
takeover of the Gaza Strip, Middle East Newsline reported. The Al
Qaida statement came after Zawahiri repeatedly criticized Hamas for
tolerating Palestinian Authority cooperation with the United States.]
Yadlin said Hamas could be planning a major attack to divert
attention away from efforts by the Palestinian Authority to isolate
the Gaza Strip. He said Syria might be promoting such an attack.
Officials said Iran has direct influence over Syria, Hizbullah and
Hamas. He said Al Qaida has increasingly come under Iranian
influence and was being used by Iran and Syria in such countries as
Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon.
Already, military intelligence has assessed that Hamas acquired
more than 50 missiles with a range of 22 kilometers. Officials said
this would allow Palestinian missile strikes on any part of
Ashkelon, the largest city in southeastern Israel and which
contains strategic sites.
Hamas has also deployed at least 20 SA-7 anti-aircraft systems,
officials said. They said the missiles threaten Israeli combat
helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft that conduct missions over the
Gaza Strip.
On Monday, Palestinian gunners continued missile fire into Israel.
Hours earlier, the Israel Air Force struck an Islamic Jihad squad
said to have been driving toward the northern Gaza Strip to launch
missiles toward Israel. One Jihad operative was killed and two
others were injured.
Israeli military intelligence has assessed that Hamas was being
quietly supported by neighboring Egypt. Officials said that
despite Egypt's announced ban, Cairo has continued to allow Hamas
leaders to enter the Sinai Peninsula from the Gaza Strip.
Over the weekend, officials said, a Hamas delegation led by former
PA Interior Minister Said Siyyam entered Sinai. They said the 15-
member delegation was escorted by Egyptian security forces to Cairo
for a flight to Damascus, where they were scheduled to meet Hamas
political bureau chief Khaled Masha'al.
On Monday, Egypt was scheduled to host a regional summit meant to
support PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. Israel, Jordan and Abbas were
expected to attend the meeting in the Sinai resort town of Sharm e-
Sheik.
