Jews worldwide urged to be on their guard after assassination
Source: Jpost
14 February 2008 – More than 50 Hizbullah terror cells believed to be spread across the globe could be activated and used to strike at Israeli or Jewish targets in retaliation for Tuesday's assassination of Hizbullah arch-terrorist and operations officer Imad Mughniyeh in Syria, a senior defense official said Thursday.
As Hassan Nasrallah vowed "open war" to avenge Mughniyeh's death, the Israeli Counterterrorism Bureau issued a travel advisory on Thursday that made plain the seriousness with which it is taking the Hizbullah leader's threats. But Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said "Israel is a strong country" and that there was no need to panic.
FBI anti-terror units raised their alerts for fear of attacks on synagogues and other Jewish targets.
Sources in the US administration reiterated that there were no specific warnings of a terrorist attack; nonetheless, an FBI source said that the raised alertness of the Anti-Terrorism Unit, which operates in about 100 cities around the US, is not a routine step.
The counterterrorism
bureau recommended that citizens abroad avoid staying in areas where
there is a large concentration of Israelis. It advised Israelis
overseas to strictly avoid visiting Arab and Muslim states where
existing travel warnings are in force; to reject any tempting
suggestions, unexpected gifts and offers of free travel from
suspicious people or unknown elements; to reject proposals for
unscheduled meetings, and to travel to meetings accompanied by
someone known and trusted.
Comments: The question now is not whether Hezbollah will respond, but how and when. Their response will probably not be along the border but just in case the IDF is prepared and ready. The likeliest possibility is that Hezbollah will try to make a revenge attack against Israel overseas, in particular against an embassy or something of that nature. In any case we will have to watch and see what develops. The situation in the Middle East has become a very volatile place and with the latest assassination it would be very easy for a regional flare up with the tensions as high as they are. Yesterday the news reported that Iran's centrifuges begin processing gas used for nuclear warheads and Russia to double staff at Iran nuclear plant: RIA. Israel will know that time is slowly slipping away to deal with that problem.
The most important thing to remember is that Israel is the apple of God’s eye and he has their situation well under control.
Zec 2:8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
