I'm Predicting:

Two Israeli borders are heating up.
In the south it's the Gaza border with Hamas.
In the north it's the Lebanon border with Hezbollah.

In the south on a single day last week 35 mortars shells were shot, 7 Kassam rockets were fired. The barrage was specifically intended:
# 1: to distract Israeli forces
# 2: to kidnap Israeli soldiers
# 3: to draw Israel into invading Gaza and creating a war

In the north Hezbollah is beginning to find the holes in UNIFIL and Lebanese Army control of the region that approaches the Israeli border.
Hezbollah continues to smuggle in weapons from Syria and to build up missile and rocket caches.

According to the recent report of the Israeli Chief of Staff:
on the one hand Syria continues to maintain defensive maneuvers
on the other hand Syria continues to provide support for Hezbollah troops.

Israel is anticipating being drawn into conflict this summer with Hezbollah and with Hamas and even with Syria and maybe with Iran.

We have to watch this very carefully.
We have to hope that Israel acts prudently.
