The "Israeli" newspaper The Jerusalem Post reported on Tuesday that the "Israeli" Army is concerned that Hizbullah would attempt to kidnap soldiers and feared that "terrorists" would cross into "Israel", infiltrate the border and barricade themselves inside civilian homes.
The report said that the defense (war) establishment was concerned that Hizbullah would use the holiday season, as well as the current transition period between outgoing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Kadima Party leader Tzipi Livni, to launch an attack.
The report added that Intelligence assessments were concerned that Hizbullah believed that with Olmert heading a transitional government, and Livni working to form a coalition, neither would want to respond harshly to an isolated Hizbullah attack and risk another war in Lebanon.
