Israel is concerned that in a future war withHezbollah , the Lebanese guerilla group will try to impose a sea blockade on Israel by attacking civiliancargo ships .
Israel’s sea lines of communication (SLOC) span the length of the Mediterranean and around the Magreb region of North Africa with some 99 percent of all goods arriving in the country by sea, including ammunition and military hardware.Navy assessments are that Hezbollah will try to attack cargo ships within a 30-kilometer radius of Israel in an effort to get commercial vessels to refuse to sail there during a war.The officer warned of the economic ramifications for Israel if Hezbollah succeeded in stopping cargo freighters from sailing to the ports of Ashdod and Haifa.
“People have not internalized what it means that 99 percent of what we import as a country comes by sea,” he said. “Ships stopping to sail here would have economic and security ramifications and is therefore the first and primary challenge we will need to confront.”
Hezbollah is believed to have a significant arsenal of Chinese-developed anti-ship missiles like the C-802 which is radar-guided and was used to hit the Hanit in 2006.
Iran issued new threats to wipe Israel "off the face of the earth" Sunday as a new EU sanctions against its oil sector came into full force.Any attack on Iran by Israel would be answered resolutely: "If they take any action, they will hand us an excuse to wipe them off the face of the earth," said Hajizadeh, head of the Guards' airborne division, according to state news agency IRNA.In a lengthy statement published on the Petroleum Ministry website, Ghasemi said that "the government has planned and prepared for all possible options in order to counter sanctions".
He added that though sanctions prevented oil exports to US and EU markets, Iranian crude is still being sold on international markets.

Hey, I am NOT happy either, considering I had GREAT aspirations
of having two pretty Cocker Spaniel
puppies to be friends with, but
they are gone.....very sad...
Yeah, I know, bulls could care less.
But really, I was thinking about this.
What hope do they HAVE for people in this world ?? look at the graveyards. THAT is where we all
end up ( not counting the rapture)
and all bulls have to offer is
the stock market and these so called DREAMS of big money ??
HEY, it is NEVER enough, let me tell 'ya.....and THEY KNOW IT.
Their game leads to death, it is
worthless, MONEY cannot buy eternal
life, I know that.
DO NOT LET Wall Street LIE to you
about that. Period.
I read these comments all the time
about HOW this market OR that
market is bullish....and YET,
NOT ONE OF THESE BULLS ever talks
about Jesus ......or the END of
the World...try to bring up the
subject and U are considered a
"religion nut" in a pipe dream.
Why is that ??
