Israel may soon take its airstrikes into Hamas-controlled Gaza to Lebanon, as
practice for "a likely war with Iran," Washington Post defense writer David
Ignatius suggested Sunday on "Face the Nation."
"Some people think... Israel [is] testing the rockets that would be fired
against [Iran] from Gaza, next from Lebanon," Ignatius said during a roundtable
discussion. "So we may see something with Lebanon soon because it's a
preliminary; this is a, kind of, warm-up round for the real conflagration that's
ahead that involves Iran."
Tom Ricks, author of the new book called "The Generals: American Military
Command From World War II to Today," agreed there's a good chance Israel would
strike Iran to try to take out its nuclear facilities - "especially given the
timing of the Gaza thing," he said. "They waited until after the elections were
over, and now they're getting down to business."
