Iran urging Islamic Jihad to attack Israel ahead of election

Iran continues to urge Islamic Jihad to carry out terror attacks against Israel ahead of the Knesset elections, Israeli intelligence sources say. According to the sources, the Iranian pressure on Islamic Jihad comes despite Tehran's declared support for Hamas and the fact that senior Hamas officials were invited to Tehran to celebrate the organization's victory in the elections to the Palestinian Legislative Council.

The Islamic Jihad tactic would be designed, inter alia, "to pose a challenge to Hamas," a senior source in the General Staff said to Haaretz. According to the source, the Jihad terror group seeks to confront Hamas with a dilemma - "whether to uphold the policy of calm toward Israel, as it has done until now."

Sunday, the Israel Defense Forces upped its state of alert along the northern border too, out of concern for a similarly motivated Hezbollah attack.

IDF officials believe that Iran and the terror groups identified with it are trying "to turn a tactical terror attack into a strategic one" - in other words, to initiate a series of relatively harsh attacks whose effect would be compounded due to the sensitive political timing of the action. The officials say that Israel must be very cautious when it comes to responding with force, and must avoid being caught up by provocations designed to spark off an inferno in the region.

An escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict serves Iranian interests in a number of ways: It redirects some of the international attention currently focused on the fight against Tehran's nuclear program, and it stokes terror and violence against Israel in a manner that gives the Iranians more sway over Palestinian elements.

It was inevitable, and expected. And you said a few days back it would happen as zman would "head south" and make his way to Iran or points south, verse Afganistan in essence.
We all had discussed when this would come to past over the past few months a few times in passing.
Now the shit hits the fan. The Idf sure is going to have it's work cut out for it in the next year. Lots of goons to be IDed and killed. Iran and zman obviouse to us wants to totally stir up the Pali goons squads to disrupt the Israelis, and further try to divide them up.
And obviously give not option for the Hammas goons to ease up and try to slip into a temporary ahhhemmmm "truce" to gain any political grace from the UN etc..
BUT like you, I, and others have pointed out in past postings. Every where al Qaeda go, they end up being defeated by not only the US and coalition allies, but the very Arabs they supposedly are going to defend, which we know is all horse crap.
So now let zman become once again defeated in his new place of choosing, providing he makes it out of Iraq alive. Of course his staff would carry on. They have nothing else in life to do, but to kill for the dream of a Caliph state under strict Sharia. Dopes
I gotta hit the rack. Eyes really are shot. Have a good one and will respond tomorrow if required.

No surprise here. When the PLO signed its truce in order to become "statesmen" Iran and Hamas worked together to fill the terror void. Now that Hamas has control, Islamic Jihad will fill that void.

Terrorist musical chairs.
