| 2014-02-27 |
| [An Nahar] Hizbullah ... Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistanceand purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... 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 Leb 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 La Belle France Presse an Israeli strike in Syria but did not elaborate. |
