JUST AS I PREDICTED YESTERDAY: HIZB'ALLAH ATTACKS HAIFA

BBC:
Two rockets have struck the Israeli city of Haifa, hours after a threat by the militant Lebanese group Hezbollah. ... Israeli police said two rockets had fallen on a Christian area of Haifa called Stella Maris. The Israeli ambassador in Washington, Danny Ayalon, described the Haifa incident as a "major escalation" of the crisis. He said the international community should make it clear to Iran and Syria - who both have links with Hezbollah - that they were "playing with fire".
IMHO: IRAN WANTS TO PROVOKE THE IDF INTO ATTACKING SYRIA SO THAT THEY HAVE AN EXCUSE TO LAUNCH A MASSIVE MISSILE ATTACK ON ISRAEL, SPECIFICLLY TEL AVIV AND HAIFA; (IRAN AND SYRIA RECENTLY SIGNED A MUTUAL DEFENSE PACT). THIS ATTACK WOULD BE COORDINATED WITH SYRIA, HAMAS AND HIZB'ALLAH AND COINCIDE WITH AN ATTEMPT TO TAKE JERUSALEM.

I intuit this based on my feeling that a prisoner exchange is VERY small stuff and therefore cannot explain the massive risk/exposure to counter-attack which the kidnappings were SURE to provoke. Iran is looking for an excuse, something to make their long dreamed for attack on Israel seem provoked. (The Captain has similar thoughts.)

More and more I feel that Iran's bold intransigence means that it already has a nuke - even if it was not of their own manufacture; (for all intents and pourposes we shouold assume they do). Perhaps they bought some from Kim Jong Il? Who knows.

I think, therefore, that -- (until Iran has regime change, or until their missile capability is neutrlized - perhaps by deployment by Israel of a NMD in addition to their Patriot their Arrow systems) -- Israel must contain their counter-attacks to known Hizb'allah and Hamas property and persons within south Lebanon and Gaza. AND WIPE THEM OUT. Utterly. And assassinate all jihadoterrorists it has the opportunity to assassinate. With extreme prejudice and all due haste. I hope this is what Peretz is intimating (via LGF).

OTHERS SEEING THE HAND OF IRAN: here and here and here.

REMEMBER: I have been predicting that Assad and Iran would start a three front war against Israel (to distract the world from their own regimes) - and that they would heat up things for Israel as we put the heat up on them - for ELEVEN MONTHS.
