Israeli FM says 'Nasrallah is next'
[NAHARNET] Israel’s foreign minister has said Hezbollah leader Sayyed His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
...The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...
could be Israel’s next target.

Eli Cohen spoke a day after a Hezbollah strike maimed 11 people in northern Israel. The Iranian-backed group has fired missiles and rockets into Israel throughout the two-and-a-half month war between Israel and Hamas
...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
. Israel has responded dozens of Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s and artillery barrages.

The daily battles have forced tens of thousands of Israelis to evacuate their homes from border communities and raised fears that they could escalate into a region-wide war.

Touring Israel’s border with foreign ambassadors. Cohen said Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, "must understand that he’s next."

"If he doesn't want to be next in line, he should immediately implement the U.N. Security Council's resolution (1701) and keep Hezbollah away from the north of Litani," Cohen said.

"We will work to exhaust the political option, and if it does not work, all options are on the table in order to ensure the security of the State of Israel and return the residents of the north to their homes," he added.

#1 Can anyone in government keep their farking mouths shut? There's no reason to telegraph potential strikes against the enemy.

Let it be a big surprise.
