Twelve Israeli children were killed by an Iranian Falaq rocket only supplied to Hezbollah over the weekend near the Golan Heights.<\/p>\n
The strike left a crater about 2 yards wide, breaking through the carpet of artificial grass where the children were playing. Around it were scattered burned-out bicycles and scooters, some electric bikes with their batteries melted. Walls of a nearby tent and shelter were pockmarked from shrapnel.<\/p>\n
The Israeli military\u2019s Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said an Iranian-made Falaq rocket with a 117-pound warhead belonging to Hezbollah was used in the attack that landed in the town of more than 11,000 inhabitants.LA Times<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Rather than a wide mass response the Israelis have taken a measured, targeted response and killed two militant leaders in separate strikes (which nonetheless have twisted Palestinian-allied knickers.)<\/p>\n
Hamas said Wednesday its political leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in an Israeli strike in Iran, where he was attending the swearing-in of the new president, and vowed the act “will not go unanswered”.<\/p>\n
Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei<\/span><\/span> too threatened “harsh punishment” for Haniyeh’s killing, saying: “We consider it our duty to seek revenge for his blood as he was martyred in the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”\u00a0 AFP<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Bet there are some interesting questions being asked in Iran about now…\u00a0 but of more interest here, there was an air strike Tuesday in Beirut:<\/p>\n
The Hezbollah commander who the Israeli military says it killed in an airstrike Tuesday had been blamed by Israel for a deadly weekend rocket attack and was accused by the U.S. of orchestrating the 1983 bombing in Beirut that killed 241 American servicemen. <\/strong>(emphasis added – ed.)<\/p>\n
A statement from Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari said the target of the strike, Fouad Shukur, was behind the Saturday rocket attack on the town of Majdal Shams that killed 12 young people in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights of Syria.\u00a0 AP<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
