Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Iran-funded Hizballah recruiting Muslims in Judea for jihad attacks against Israel

With the Iran deal, this becomes a jihad operation funded courtesy of Barack Obama. “Report: Hezbollah enlisting West Bank youth to carry out terror attacks against Israel,” Jerusalem Post, August 30, 2015:

Hezbollah has been working intensively to enlist former operatives from Fatah’s armed wing, the Al Aksa Brigades, in order to carry out terror attacks against Israeli targets in the West Bank and inside Israel, a Palestinian security source was quoted as saying on Sunday.

Saudi daily Okaz quoted the source as saying that “among those Hezbollah members involved in the operation is Kayis Ubayid, who was behind the kidnapping of Col. (res.) Elahanan Tenebaum in 2000.” Tenenbaum was released to Israel from Hezbollah captivity as part of a prisoner exchange in 2004.

The source added that Palestinian security forces believe that recent shootings and the use of explosive devices such as that thrown at an IDF position near Beit Jala, south of Jerusalem, earlier this month, are part of the Lebanese Shi’ite group’s efforts.

The Palestinian source claimed that Israel is well-aware of the Hezbollah activities. He added that some of those Palestinian operatives approached by Hezbollah reported the Shi’ite group’s efforts to Palestinian Authority officials. “We estimate that there are a number of youths who were drawn into joining Hezbollah’s ranks and are now operating in the West Bank, because of economic hardship or the deterioration in the security situation,” the source said.

“We don’t know how many people there are, but there is no doubt that the phenomenon is gaining momentum among former Al Aksa Brigade youths that have been approached by Hezbollah to work in exchange for economic support. The matter is a personal choice of these youth, who have chosen to take action against Israeli targets.”…

The source said that in the mid-2000s, Hezbollah had tried to enlist West Bank youth, offering salaries which reached tens-of-thousands of dollars per month. “In the years 2004-2005, the Al Aksa Brigades claimed responsibility for terror attacks which were all funded by Hezbollah, whose main enlister was Kayis Ubayid.

This would not mark the first time that Palestinian security forces have warned of Hezbollah attempts to enlist fighters in the West Bank. The move could potentially be tied to Hezbollah’s patron – Iran.

In January, Iranian Defense Minister Hussein Dehghan warned that Israel “will not escape revenge” for its alleged assassination of Iranian Revolutionary Guards’ General Muhammad Allah-Dadi and of Jihad Mughniyeh in an air strike in the Syrian Golan Heights attributed in foreign reports to the IAF.

Dehghan said at the time that Iran would continue to arm the West Bank and Hezbollah. “Tehran will continue to strengthen the axis of resistance in order to deal with the Zionist entity.”

    Unlike Europe, Israel has no intention of committing suicide and moreover intends to live without interference from Muslim fanatics. This is then a death wish on the part of the Muslims, a wish that will be granted by Israel.

    No matter how many recruits or even funds Hezbollah may get this Jihad organization will fail in it’s agenda to destroy the Jewish State of Israel. For Hezbollah and also other like minded jihad terror group,s ,as Hamas, P.I.J are all greatly fated to lose in the goal to destroy Israel. For they are all ,very much. overruled by the God of the Bible. Just to give only one example out of many, the Bible teaches in Psalm 135:4. “For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself. Israel for His special treasure.”. [N.K.J.V.]

    Iran’s mullahocracy is nothing but an advanced form of THEOCRATIC NAZISM.

    It is with ISIS one of the evilest juntas in the world doing unspeakable deeds in the name of the bloodthirsty Allah.

    Islam is the evil force behind the deeds that must be debunked, just as Nazism was debunked.

    Hezbollah ought to normalise relations with Israel and stop shooting themselves in the foot otherwise their kin will go straight into the ISIS meat grinder along with the Syrian regular forces, intelligentsia and bureaucracy with all the Lebanese ethnic factions to follow.
