Question
Hi Sir
i'm back with another question :)
i'm hearing on the news and my friends in israel told me
that there's a HUGE maneuver that's gonna take place in the
near future to train people,soldiers,government etc.. to
face any sudden attacks from terrorist missiles
is this a sign of any close war with Hizballah?
specially that the maneuver is on the northern borders and
that's what most followers are predicting

Answer
Actually, this maneuver has been going on for some time. Whether this means war or not is hard to predict but ever since Israeli independence in 1948, the government, army, and population has always been on stand-by just in case war was to break out. And many times, it did. Whether this is the case this time, I just don't have an answer. But nowadays, Israel is more concerned about Iran than Hizbullah.
