Tal Yehoshua Koren, victim of New Delhi car bomb
Two attacks against Israeli embassies in Tiblisi, Georgia, and New Delhi, India, and a failed bombing in Bankok in which the bomber blew off both his legs, are indications that Iran has already begun to send its assets around the world to attack Israeli targets. Reports from New Delhi indicate that the two car bombs were planted underneath a diplomatic car, injuring four people. The New Delhi bomb exploded, and Tal Yehoshua Koren, wife of a diplomat stationed with the Defense Ministry’s mission in India, was severly injured. In Georgia, the bomb was defused before it could detonate. According to Indian police, the bomb on Koren’s car contained “foreign substances” and would be examined to determine the source.
In response to the attacks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu placed the responsibility directly at the feet of Teheran, whom he called “the world’s top exporter of terror”. He said that Iran’s client, Hezbollah, has been responsible for several thwarted attacks against Israel in places like Thailand and Azerbaijan. He promised that Israel will “continue to methodically and patiently act with a strong hand against the international terror that is based in Iran.”
Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman said, “Israel and its citizens face terror inside and outside of Israel,” Liberman said. “We deal with it every day. We know how to identify exactly who is responsible for the attack and who carried it out . . . . We will not allow this to affect our agenda.”

Israel had put its foreign missions on especially high alert because of the February 12 anniversary of the assassination of Hezbollah’s operational leader and terrorist, Imad Mughniyah, who was killed by a car bomb in Damascus in 2008. Israel was accused of his assassination and Iranian-backed Hezbollah had vowed to avenge Mughniyah’s death.
Mugniyah first became known to the world with the June 14, 1985 hijacking of TWA flight 847 in Athens, Greece, in which US Navy Seebee Robert Stetham was viciously beaten and tortured to death over a period of several hours, and his body tossed onto the tarmac. Mugniyah was one of the three hijackers.
He was also thought to be involved in a series of other attacks against the US and Israel, including the truck-bombing of the U.S. Marine Corps barracks in Beirut in 1983 and the attack on the Israeli embassy in Argentina in 1992.
He quickly rose in the ranks of Hezbollah and became the Chief of International Military Operations, reporting directly to Hezbollah’/s spiritual leader Hasan Nasrallah.

Well U.S government is playing with fire, they have become Israel’s proxy for nothing, while Israel sits back and enjoys the show it is the victims of U.S government that are going to suffer the most from both sides. If they attack Iran it is going to be very bad and ugly for both sides. There is no need for this at all Iran is not going to be Iraq or Libya, not even Vietnam. I hope the U.S government come to their senses and stop this stupid and pointless enmity with Iran.
I completely digearse with Peter’s opinion about how grave the situation is for Israel. I am sure they must realize that Hezbollah can only be significantly degraded, not completely destroyed because they have the financial backing of Iran.In additon to the unending hatred of Islam toward Israel. That will never change.Yes, Hezbollah will claim victory but they would do that no matter the outcome because the ME wants to believe it so badly and it makes good for good recruiting propaganda. I agree Israel has done a poor job with the media. But I do admit to surprise at the number of civilian deaths not being much, much higher and not more injured civilians on TV.I think initially Israel was winning the PR campaign(kidnapped soldiers).Then with the devastation on TV, it shifted to Hezbollah. If Israel now stays away from bombing anymore in S Beiruit and stays in the border region, I think the bad PR will be neutralized and Israel will destroy most of the threat. Although I do admit to having not heard of the small number of Israeli troops. I find that really hard to believe.******I think Ahmadijad’s letter to Merkel is an (indirect – without losing face) effort from Iran to limit the amount that Hezbollah is/will be degraded. I think this speaks volumes. Where is all his bluster now?This thing is far from over. It will probably go on for years to come because of the stiff resitance. But this only demonstrates that the threat was only getting bigger, not less. I think things are going right according to plan but will definitely be a tough fight.I guess we will see.
