Chief of Staff Benny Gantz has ordered all IDF units to cancel their traditional Passover breaks so that they can operate in full capacity over the upcoming holdiay, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Wednesday. The implication of the decision is that for the first time in many years, all IDF units will maintain their regular operations and remain on full alert throughout the holiday.

Israel saying "Stick it", and invading Iran should give a way to return legitimacy to the UN. If Israel invades unilaterally, they should be smacked down hard. (Though I realize this would call attention to the fact that previous "unilateral actors" were not similarly confronted. Catch 22.)
Israel’s plan to attack Iran has been postponed until spring 2013 following a war simulation that showed Iran could kill 200 Americans with a single missile strike, according to a report by senior Haaretz correspondent Amir Oren.
“At 8:58 P.M. on Tuesday, Israel’s 2012 war against Iran came to a quiet end. The capricious plans for a huge aerial attack were returned to the deep recesses of safes and hearts. The war may not have been canceled but it has certainly been postponed. For a while, at least, we can sound the all clear: It won’t happen this year. Until further notice, Israel Air Force Flight 007 will not be taking off,” writes Oren.
According to the report, a war simulation conducted by the U.S. Central Command found that an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities would immediately be followed by an Iranian missile launch that would kill 200 Americans, a price deemed not worth paying by U.S. generals.

you make it sound like they are cancelling the holiday. They aren't. They are simply not allowing their military to take vacations to celebrate the holiday. Seders will still be had, just not away from their barracks or base.
It's also odd that everyone sees this as a sure sign that Israel is planning on attacking Iran.
What about as a precaution against an attack from Iran? What better time than during a holiday.Israel was attacked during Yom Kippur a while back so it certainly should be considered that they are hearing chatter about an attack during another major jewish holiday.
But one thing is clear: Israel won’t wait beyond 2012 or until after the US presidential election in November.
An Israeli attack on Iran is therefore to be expected at some time in the coming months

I care not about Bibi. I was merely pointing out another possible reason for the IDF's decision to cancel the break.
This discussion is about that action and whether it indicates an imminent attack from one side or, as I pointed out, another.
Discussing Zionism and the whether or not Bibi has a soul can be done on another thread.

However, what better way to advertise the strength of Israel than to strike on a Jewish holiday.

I don't believe we will ever "invade" Iran like Iraq.. It's not even in the plan.

I like how the op says "Generals cancel passover".
Excellent example of how Israel has nothing to do with a holy land, or a place for the Jewish religion. It's just the "Zionist" inside club base of operations.
The real religion of the Zionists is War. Their god is death. None of them would have the positions they have now if it wasn't for death kindly taking care of so many Jews during WWII. Death brought them power. More death, brings more power. They worship Death in their religion of War!

You are confusing zionism with Islam.
Islam is the religion of death and war.
