The extraordinary buildup of European naval and military strength in
and around Lebanon's shores is way out of proportion for the task the
European contingents of expanded UNIFIL have undertaken: to create a
buffer between Israel and Hizballah.

Close investigation by DEBKAfile's military and intelligence sources
discloses that "Lebanese security" and peacemaking is not the
object of the exercise. It is linked to the general anticipation of a
military clash between the United States and Israel, on one side, and
Iran and possibly Syria on the other.
