Report: Hizbullah May Target Israeli Officials in Light of Monday's Strike
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah may begin targeting Israeli officials in retaliation against Monday's Israeli strike against a party target near the Lebanese-Syrian border, reported Israel's Haaretz daily on Wednesday.
The party may begin targeting senior Israeli officials, sources told the daily.
On Monday night, "two Israeli raids hit a Hizbullah target on the border of Lebanon and Syria," a Lebanese security source told AFP.
The National News Agency confirmed the report, adding that the raids targeted the countryside of the Lebanese town of Nabi Sheet on the border.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that Israel was doing all that was "necessary" to ensure its security.
"We will not say what we're doing or what we're not doing" to maintain Israel's security, he added.
In late October, media reported that Israeli warplanes struck a Syrian airbase where missiles for Hizbullah were stockpiled.
At the time a U.S. official confirmed to Agence France Presse an Israeli strike in Syria but did not elaborate.

I am always deeply saddened by the news that HA leaders, members, or followers are targeted, killed, assassinated, or even simply tortured. Am I being too emotional here??

I hope they do, so we can get rid off HA once and for all. I doubt it though.. HA and Israel need each other.

Gentlemen, at this very moment the Iranian militia is digging a Glorious tunnel and will pop-up right in the middle of Jerusalem any day now.

Of course they will never dare (or manage) to hit an Israeli official. Instead they will end up blowing up a bus with jewish families on holiday somewhere in Eastern Europe, East Asia or South America.....like usual. All to apeace their followers, to keep the morale high....

A joint Israli-Lebanese-United Nation investigation concluded that it was a Lebanese soldier with mental issues that was behind the killing of the Israeli border guard. (Whether he has Hezbollah affilliatons I am not sure, some would argue that all Hezbollah-mambers have some kind of mental issues..)He has been taking into custody by lebanese authorities, which was a key demand for Israeli self-restraint.

This is simply great, so Hezbollah is now officially the government of Lebanon, it alone decides when we go to war, when to invade parts of Lebanon, when to retaliate, how to screw up the economy, I mean, these days Hezbollah is everywhere, prompting me to ask, is there really something called a Lebanese state? Hezbollah goes to the Syrian war, the Syrian war comes to us, albeit all our public denunciations, nothing fell on any ear, but the sound of death and killings that have replicated Hezbollah's crazy venture in a war that is not ours. Now Hezbollah wants to take on Israel again? Well, that's fine by me, let Hezbollah then start its campaign of assassinations against the Israelis, maybe this time the death knell will ring on it for good, right?!!! My neighbor's son got married a few months ago, maybe from now on he should consult with Hezbollah, if he and his wife can plan for a baby too!!

WL, actually I have always felt this way about Israel and the Hezb, leading me for years to say this: Tizeyn bi fardel lbeiss. It's most likely that it's a classic situation of scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours. But I also known that such marriages of convenience can also end up very bitterly, when it is no longer convenient to continue this convenience.

look at the difference. When Israel sees a threat, it uses precision to hit the target and only the target. When HA decides to act, it plants a ton of explosives and blows up the neighborhood creating mass civilian casualties. HA is a death cult.

So if HA can attack Israelis outside that countrys borders, does that mean that if/when Israel retaliates against HA on Syrian territory it is alright?

Go back under the rock from which you crawled from you troll this fake resistance is taking lebanon back and inviting all the terrorist to roam all over lebanon so much so lebanon will be divided once again and giving the izraeli scum reason to attack what ever they see fit without consequences . The first thing the lebanese government should buy from the money they get from the arabs is sam missiles to shoot at the zionist planes maybe then they would respect our territory once and for all.

As if these degenerates have the ability to do anything other then shoot their mouths off. The only people they can retaliate against are unarmed civilians that happen to be in the blast radius of a bomb they used to assassinate an opposing politician.
