In comments today on Facebook, Israeli military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yoav Mordechai insisted that the recent rocket fire from the Gaza Strip, which came following the assassination of a militant leader by Israeli warplanes “shows” that Iran is secretly “pulling the strings” both in Lebanon and Gaza.
The accusation follows the previous comments from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claiming that the exchange of fire with Gaza, which ended with a number of slain Gazans and a few injuries in Israel, proved the need to confront Iran militarily. Brig. Gen. Mordechai, apparently to strengthen the case, included a caricature of Ahmadinejad as a puppeteer in the posting.
Iran’s influence over the ruling coalition in Lebanon and well as the Hamas movement in Gaza have been major causes of concern for Israel, much as Israel’s increasing influence in Azerbaijan has created headaches for Iran.
Interestingly enough, however, Hamas was not at all involved in the exchange of fire with Israel last week, and it was smaller Gaza factions including the PRC and the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, traditionally antagonistic toward Hamas, that confirmed firing rockets.
Global warming is also Irans fault….?
/Most terrorist regime in the world Zionist Israel and its "Goebles propaganda" at work…./
To put it mildly, that's a lot bull. It's Israel and it's murdering policies that are causing havoc around the world.
Of course Iran is behind all the evils besetting Israel. They would never EVER do anything people might want to pay them back for.
Alternate excuse for sanctioning and/or attacking Iran?
Yet no comment that Israel, through its proxies, is pulling the strings in the United States, Britain and God knows how many other countries by buying elected officials? Odd(NOT)!
The rockets are most likely part of a plot by Isreal to get more Iron drone intercept systems. A system cost 280,000,000 minus the $65,000 rocket which is used by the system . Last week 18 intercept rockets were fired at 9 Palestine rockets. The intercept system was rejected by Israel when they had to use their own money and the system was constructed in the USA. Now the system is constructed in Israel along with the very expensive rockets.. There was $1,127,000 of Israel intercept rockets which stopped 3 of the 9 rockets fired at a total cost of $270 I am not sure who was the idiot who got the USA to fund this wasteful project but they should be fired. No wonder the Israel would not fund this pork project. BTW each quarter billion intercept system can only protect 3 block area. Maybe if Israe was to get out of Gaza which they invaded in the 1967 war of aggression then would not have to waste our tax payers dollars on pure bridge to no place science.
Is it fair to conclude, then, that the rationale behind netanyahoos' push for war against Iran is the infamous israeli logic of trying to make Gaza peaceful by hitting Iran?
The Zionists are getting slow in their old age. What took them so long to arrive at this claim? By claiming that Iran is in Gaza and Lebanon, they can kill three birds with one stone and thousands – if not millions – of civilians with depleted uranium and white phosphorous. Again, I can't understand what took them so long to lump all three of them together.
If a rapid-fire series of financing and real estate deals gets done in the next couple of weeks, filming of the movie “500 could begin in October.
