Israel Admits 'Acted' to Prevent Arms Reaching Hizbullah

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon on Monday implicitly confirmed Israel was behind a January strike on a weapons convoy in Syria, saying Israel had "acted" to stop advanced weaponry reaching Hizbullah.

Speaking at a news conference with U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, Yaalon said Israel would not allow "sophisticated weapons" to fall into the hands of "Hizbullah or other rogue elements."

"When they crossed this red line, we acted," he said, in what was widely understood to refer to the air strike which a U.S. official told Agence France Presse had targeted surface-to-air missiles that Israel suspected were en route to Hizbullah.

Kanaan, inta wei7ad bala asel we bala karami. Your mentality is exactly whats wrong with the lebanese. Always ready to join forces with the devil against your fellows. This is something both m8 and m 14 do, but you take it to a whole new level. May you sooner rather than later face the price of taking the devil as your friend. If you get a new enemy tomorrow and hezb kills one of them then you will say yeslam ideyko ya hezballah. This is how trash without principles function. You will never be respected neither by your own nor by those whos boots you lick. Enjoy being garbage, its all you can be and you wont change because someone who stoops so low dont have the minimum of what it takes to becoming a dignified person. You have been cursed by God yet you dont even see it.

If this is the level at which the Israelis tap themselves on the back for being successful, then we know they are out of any good options, and this is always a good thing. What actually brought these Israelis to this low level is, of course, March 14's calls for the International Organizations such as the UN as well as Lebanon's (the whole of Lebanon, of course) friends of foreign powers in the West to put pressure on the Israelis. Who said nothing can be achieved through negotiations and legal means with the Israelis? Get real, people.
