 There has been some questions concerning sources for this intelligence besides Israeli by those skeptical of anything Israeli newspapers put out. The uninformed do not realize that our newspapers are notorious for being blunt and honest in its reporting. But so be it. Here is a recent update.

Some two weeks ago, the Times of London reported that a Hezbollah plot to attack the Israeli embassy in Azerbaijan was foiled last year, after Azeri Intelligence discovered the plot.

Azeri intelligence authorities reportedly first caught wind of the plot weeks after Mughniyeh was killed by a car bomb in Damascus.

Hezbollah's 1800 Unit is reportedly working on possible attacks inside Israel.

Hezbollah leader, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, said: "The Zionists will discover that the war they had in July was a walk in the park if we compare it to what we've prepared for every new aggression," the Times reported.

The report also stated that the Egyptian intelligence broke up a Sinai-based Hezbollah cell headed by Sami Shehab, a Lebanese citizen. The cell, which also included Palestinians members, had allegedly planned to attack Israeli targets.

This information is no surprise since there has been an alert for a while now. It is believed that Hizbullah has extensive Terror infrastructure in Africa and South America. It is also beleived that they were involved in the 1992 and 1994 bombings in Buenos Aires.


Israel's intelligence agencies recently thwarted a major Hizbullah terror attack against an Israeli target in Europe, security officials revealed on Wednesday

The attack was foiled by Israel in conjunction with a European intelligence agency. Hizbullah planned the attack to avenge the February 2008 assassination of arch-terrorist Imad Mughniyeh in Damascus

Hizbullah, the intelligence community believes, is deterred from launching an attack along the northern border out of fear of Israel's potential response. The two recent Katyusha rocket attacks into northern Israel are believed to have been carried out by a Palestinian terror group, although under the direction of Hizbulla

People forget that in 1994, Hezbollah bombed a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Eight-five people were killed and more than 200 wounded in the bombing.

Argentina implicated Hezbollah and Iran in the attacks. In October 2006, Argentine prosecutors charged former Iranian President Hashemi Rafsanjani, former Hezbollah military commander Imad Mugniyah, and six others with plotting and executing the attacks.

Although this is a little confusing as to who this comment was intended for:

"Rabid anti-semitism strikes yet again. Israel is always wrong, terrorist organizations who attack Israel are always right. Amazing."

This comment:

"nyctuber,

And you never have anything new to say."

And this one:

"There isn't anything new to say to an anti semite who has no intention of changing course." (and the rest of it)

are both breaking our COC, which I have to keep reminding you both about all the time.

One of you has already had a suspension for it; please don't make me issue two suspensions at once.
