What? Hizballah resort to terrorism? Why, it’s unprecedented! Unheard of!
Just think: some people actually pay the Institute for Counter-Terrorism for this kind of high-level analysis. Nice work if you can get it.
Here’s one for free: Hamas may resort to terror also. No, don’t thank me. That one is gratis.
“Estimation: Hizbullah could resort to terror attacks,” a Stop-the-Presses Alert from Ynet News, with thanks to Sr. Soph:
Dr. Eitan Azani, a staff member at the Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT) of the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, said that “the decreased capabilities of Hizbullah following the Lebanon war may lead the movement to increase its efforts to carry out direct and indirect attacks in various arenas.”
Azani, along with fellow instititue member Col (res) Yoni Fighel, wrote a paper on the latest Lebanon war’s implications on regional terror that will be presented in the ICT’s sixth annual conference on counterterrorism in Herzliya on Monday.
According to Azani, the organization will most likely “increase operations to encourage and initiate terror attacks in the Palestinian territories and inside Israel, assisted by Palestinian terror organizations or Arab Israelis. Additionally, it may open a new front against Israeli or American targets abroad”¦and incorporate itself in terror activities in the Golan Heights.”
