Iran's Proxy War

Here's more evidence that recent events in Lebanon are just part of Iran's (with Syria's unflinching assistance) proxy war against Israel.

From the Jerusalem Post:

Israel has information that Hizbullah guerrillas who captured two Israeli soldiers are trying to transfer them to Iran, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said.

Regev did not disclose the source of his information.

The IDF released the names of the two soldiers on Thursday. According to the IDF Spokesperson, the two reserve are Ehud Goldwasser, 31, from Nahariya, and Eldad Regev, 26, from Kiryat Motzkin.

Hizbullah guerrillas, who are backed by Iran, seized the soldiers Wednesday in a cross-border raid. ...

Earlier in the day, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Dan Halutz confirmed Thursday that the soldiers who had been kidnapped by Hizbullah a day before were still alive.

"We know the soldiers are alive and we hold the Lebanese government completey responsible," he said during a tour of the North.

Israel was not at war with Lebanon but at a "high volume crisis," he added. ...


My Comment:
That's right...Israel is not at war with Lebanon. Iran (along with Syria) is at war with Israel and the West.

UPDATE: Jeff Kouba has compiled a very interesting timeline of Iran's increasingly hostile rhetoric and other provocations.

UPDATE #2: Iran calls Israel's accusation "nonsense."
