JERUSALEM – The bodies of Iranian Revolutionary Guard soldiers who were killed by the Israeli army in Lebanon have been transported to Syria and flown to Tehran, senior Lebanese political sources told WorldNetDaily.
The information was confirmed by Israeli and Egyptian security officials. It follows scores of reports the past few days Iranian soldiers have been aiding Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon in their attacks against Israel, including help with the firing of rockets into Israeli population centers.
The Lebanese sources said between six and nine deceased Iranian Revolutionary Guard soldiers were brought in trucks last week into Syria for flight back to Iran. They said the bodies were transported along with the tens of thousands of Lebanese civilians fleeing the country into Syria.
Since Israel began its military campaign in Lebanon two weeks ago following a Hezbollah attack on the Jewish state in which two Israeli soldiers were kidnapped, Syrian authorities have reported more than 140,000 Lebanese have entered their country, mostly through open areas in the Syria-Lebanon border.
WND reported earlier this month Israeli security officials said they have "concrete information" hundreds of Iranian soldiers stationed at Hezbollah positions in Lebanon have aided in efforts to fire missiles into the Jewish state.
The Israeli officials said Iranian guards directed the firing two weeks ago of a radar-guided C–802 missile that hit an Israeli navy vessel off the coast of Lebanon, killing four soldiers. Israel says Iran acquired the missile from China.
The officials said the Iranian soldiers' duties include keeping custody of long-range missiles within Hezbollah's arsenal, including Zalzal rockets which are said to have a range of 125 miles, placing Tel Aviv within firing range.
Jordanian officials told WND they are "100 percent sure" Iranian Revolutionary Guard unit soldiers have fired rockets into Israel. They also said the Syrian army has provided Hezbollah with intelligence information on the locations of strategic Israeli targets to aid in Hezbollah rocket fire.
A Ba'ath party official operating out of the Golan Heights told WND he has information Iranian soldiers have been firing rockets into Israel.
A senior Egyptian security official told WND it would be "very logical" if Iranian Revolutionary Guard soldiers have been helping Hezbollah fire the rockets.
Israel has long maintained Iranian Revolutionary Guard units have traveled regularly to south Lebanon to help train local Hezbollah fighters in terrorist tactics and to fortify Hezbollah positions along Israel's northern border.
At times, Revolutionary Guard soldiers could be seen operating openly at Hezbollah outposts in plain view from the Israeli side, military officials say.
Iran and Syria are the largest financial sponsors of Hezbollah. Israel says many Hezbollah rockets were made in or upgraded by Iran.
Earlier, Israeli Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mark Regev said Israel has information Hezbollah was trying to transfer the two soldiers it kidnapped to Iran.
Hezbollah has fired over 1000 rockets into northern Israeli towns the past two weeks. Dozens of rockets have slammed into Haifa, Israel's third largest city. Fifteen Israelis have been killed in the attacks, which have prompted over 2 million citizens – about one-third of the Jewish state – to live under the threat of rockets.
jilled?
Who's Jill?
Jilled slightly, not frozen though.
Typo .. hopefully corrected soon. Thanks, our ever-lovin' Mods. ;)
Sorry about that Killed is right (In instead of iin)
That's what happens when your killed by a Jewish guy.
Lebanon has again declared it is a terrorist entity WITH Hizb'allah, Syria, Iran and the UN.
Prior to this statement there was the POSSIBILITY of plausible immunity.
Now there is NONE.
Thanks for fixing that, I have 2 left hands even though they are both RIGHT WING......
Unfortunately for Israels sake the rest of the world needs proof of its findings. Non-edited pictures of the dead along with their state issued documentation would do wonders. They should take a lesson from al-queda because they do it as a verification of those they kill.
You know what, I just realized the reporting entity of this "story"....
I'm not believing this for a second without evidence.
I would suggest anyone else take this report with a grain of salt the size of John Kerry's ego.
Killed by a Jewish person with bullets made in Israel. The muzzies did not want the US to use bullets made by Israel in Iraq.
Agreed... I suppose that with Hizbollah (sp?) as the
Iranian/Syrian proxy, the word "proxy" is practically moot...
link to article www.globalsecurity.org/intell/world/iran/qods.htm
Statement worthy of concerning discussion. (although it has been obvious all along to those thinkers less spoken)
Very Good...I have a bookmark and will look at it Thank You so much............
Me!
I wish they would capture a couple Iranian soldiers. Let's see how Stinky likes it.
Well, there you go. We are on our way.
Iran is helping to bomb Israel.
"Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink the wine of her impure passion." ---Revelation 14:8" (In this case, Tehran)
Question: What do you call 9 Iranian soldiers killed by the IDF?
Answer: A start......
LOL
Where are your Revolutionary Guards?
BLOWN UP SIR!
Iranian Guards killed in Lebanon by Israelis, what great footage for Al-Jazeera.
Sounds like a wise idea to me!
