FYI- Terry Moran just said on ABC (national) nightly news that the drone that hit the Israeli warship was made in Iran.

It is quite disturbing. IMO, those who call for Israel to stand down and negotiate are naive. A position of strength is needed to deal with armed killers.

A senior IDF intelligence official says that Iran has approximately 100 soldiers in Lebanon and that they helped Hizbullah hit an Israel Navy ship with an anti-ship missile.

Another Hizbullah missile also hit and sank a nearby civilian merchant ship at around the same time, Nehushtan said. He said that ship apparently was Egyptian, but he had no other information about it.

Fox news;

A senior Israeli intelligence official said Iranian troops helped Hezbollah fire a missile that damaged an Israeli warship off the Lebanese coast Friday night.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the information, said about 100 Iranian soldiers are in Lebanon and helped fire the Iranian-made, radar-guided C-102 at the ship that killed one and left three missing.

It seems clear there are Iranian troops there, I wonder how Iran feels about that now since it looks like they might be at risk.
