Israel's Cold Front Is Getting Warming

The question is who fired the missiles from Lebanon on Israel.:

An Al-Jazeera reporter with close ties to Hizbullah said there was no chance the rockets were fired by the Shi'ite terrorist group, because they were an outdated model that Hizbullah had not used for years.

Channel 10 also quoted him as saying that had Hizbullah wished to open a second front on Israel's North it would have fired dozens of rockets.

That may very well be, but even if Hizbullah itself is not the one that fired the missiles at Israel, that still does not mean that they were not involved.

[Israeli] Defense officials said it was likely that the salvo was fired by Palestinian terrorists and not by Hizbullah, but that the possibility Hizbullah had instructed another group to fire at Israel could not be ruled out.

"Nothing happens in Lebanon without a green light from Hizbullah," a senior defense official told The Jerusalem Post.

"Even if it was a Palestinian group who fired the rockets, Hizbullah would have to at least have turned a blind eye to allow the rocket fire."

Daniel Halper notes the bottom line on Contentions:

Nevertheless, rockets have been fired. More will surely follow in the coming days. And Israel must defend its citizenry from the death and destruction that inevitably come with indiscriminate rocket fire. A second front in the northern region of Israel might be days away.

Some may say that this comes too late to make a difference in Israel's war with Hamas, but it does not come too late to disrupt more lives in Israel.
