Security Officials: IDF 'Losing Control' Along Lebanese Border

Recent clashes with terrorist group Hezbollah along the Lebanese border have spiraled out of control, security sources told Israel Radio Wednesday, warning they could potentially lead to another conflict in the north in the near future.

Two charges detonated inside Israeli territory along the Lebanese border at Har Dov left two soldiers wounded on Tuesday.

Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attack just a few hours later - a move officials say is uncharacteristic of the group, in that it sends a "clear message to Israel," and could indicate a change in policy.

Over the past several years, they stressed, Hezbollah has taken great lengths to remain quiet over their role in border skirmishes and has rarely openly taken responsibility for attacks on the IDF and Israelis.

But hours after the attack, deputy Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem declared that the bomb was a deliberate response to Israel's "violations."

“We wanted to tell Israelis that we are ready and that there is no way they can assault us while we stand by and watch,” said Qassem, according to the Lebanese The Daily Star.

Qassem added that Hezbollah terrorists were capable of infiltrating Israel to plant the bombs despite heavy surveillance.

Tick-tock, The IDF will elimiate Hezbollah, the “world” will condemn Israel for doing so.

Not me. I will raise a glass and toast the IDF for doing the work Americans won’t do.

How’s that Jughead? Except for your hard-Left core, real Americans support our only ally in the middle east.

Jughead and his genocidal baby killers, queers and unions will have to howl in anguish while God does all his pleasure.

Or not...

The message is, they want their asses handed to them. Thanks Nachum.
