An anti-Israel group in Lebanon launched three rockets at the embattled Jewish state yesterday
as the conflict between Israel and Hamas terrorists continued to gain momentum.
All three rockets fell into the Mediterranean Sea and those responsible were arrested by Lebanese
security forces, according to The Jerusalem Post.
The Jerusalem Post also reported that an airstrike by Israel Defense Forces struck a vehicle
carrying weapons on the Lebanon-Syria border.
The attempted attacks thankfully missed their intended targets, but the escalation in Israel’s ongoing defense against Hamas to include radical elements in countries other than Palestine presents a troubling signal that the conflict may grow further and draw in otherwise disparate Islamic extremist sects.
The arrival of anti-Israel terrorists outside of Palestine also raises the troubling question of what defense Israel will have recourse to should the next attack come from a country other than Lebanon.
Nevertheless, it is a situation that Israel will almost certainly have to contend with, as the IDF even now issues reports of new rocket attacks stemming from extremists in war-torn Syria.
With Syrian and Lebanese extremists joining in the fray, Israel faces a multi-front battle against well-armed and well-trained terrorists.
“With Lebanon’s attack on Israel, Hezbollah has entered the scene,” Mishra tweeted. “Congratulations to Joe Biden and the arms industry complex for successfully plunging the Middle East into war.”
Israel is under attack from extremist elements in at least three countries. Its people are being terrorized by violent radicals and its defense forces are being maligned by the foreign press.
