If Israel's spy chief, Yuval Diskin, can be believed Hezbollah will make their next strike from Gaza. Given the information comes with a veiled call for a preemptive strike it tends to twitter the 'wolf cry' radar.
But taking into account the damage Hezbollah have done to themselves in Lebanon, and regional pressure that will be on them to advance the cause, the claim is oddly credible.
Diskin says Egypt's Sinai Peninsula was being used as a terrorist base and fast becoming a haven for arms smugglers preparing to shift their wares into the Gaza Strip.
He adds that within Gaza terrorists were building rocket hideouts, a bunker network and an anti-tank missile arsenal as they prepared for an escalated confrontation with Israel.
Given the current political disarray in Israel it's hard to accept Hezbollah as chastened in any way. What Diskin is describing is pretty much a mirror of the build-up in Southern Lebanon.
Still, claims from one source don't amount to fact. At this stage it's probably just something worth watching for.

I didn't know whether you meant Take a break from this sorry world literally or figurateively. I guess you mean the latter in a literate sort of way...
