New and disturbing details are emerging about the efforts of Hezbollah to monitor and target Jewish citizens in cities across the world. Hossam Yaakoub, a Lebanese-born Swedish citizen arrested in Cyprus last July for spying on Israeli tourists has given new details on Hezbollah’s global operations at his trial in February. Yaakoub, identified by police as a Hezbollah operative, told authorities he was “just collecting information about the Jews. This is what my organization is doing, everywhere in the world.” Yaakoub admitted that Hezbollah “wanted to have Cyprus as a base” and that he was searching for restaurants catering to Jews and monitoring charter flights bringing Israelis to Cyprus. Analysts who have studied Hezbollah’s tactics suggest the group is evolving and employing more sophisticated techniques, no longer emphasizing “speed over tradecraft.” Daniel Benjamin, the recently retired counterterrorism czar at the State Department says Hezbollah’s level of activity outside the Middle East is greater than at any time since the 1990s.
Disgusting.
I can think of a few ways, none moral or nice, to discourage that kind of behavior.
The Mossad, collecting data on Hezzbollah, Hamas, PLO, Iran, al quada, etc, etc. world-wide. Two way street.
My money’s on the Mossad!!
Thank you, barry.
How is this different from what the ADL and the SPLC does?
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

hussein very pleased.
They can shadow the Mossad agents disguised as Israeli tourists all over Larnaca or London, and that way they’ll be right there when it’s time to blow them away.
