FOX News: Experts fear 'accidental' war between Israel, Hezbollah

Hezbollah has long threatened Israel, but sources in the Jewish state fear that if an all-out war happens near the Lebanon border, it will happen not by design, but by accident.

Fighting on so many fronts, especially in chaotic Syria, where Iran has dispatched Hezbollah to help President Bashar al-Assad's forces, could increase the chances of a rogue element firing rockets into Israel simply to draw the Jewish State into a war, say experts. Suych a move could be made by elements of Hezbollah itself, or by its enemies, including Al Qaeda affiliate Al Nusra, which could frame Hezbollah to push it into war with Israel.

Elusive Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, in a recent, rare public appearance to mark the 15th anniversary of Israel’s unilateral withdrawal from Lebanon, insisted that Israel remains the terrorist group's primary enemy. But with Hezbollah fighting alongside government forces in Syria and with those of its patron Iran in the ongoing war against ISIS in Iraq, the Lebanese-based terrorist group is stretched thin.
