On Sunday morning five Katyusha rockets were fired from Lebanon into northern Israel. They did not hit anything, but one landed near the town of Kiryat Shmona. Israel responded with a volley of tank shells toward the source of the fire.
When one thinks of rocket fire from Lebanon into Israel, one may well think of Hizballah. According to Israeli assessments, though, Hizballah was not the source of the Katyushas. The Shiite organization is heavily involved in the fighting in Syria, and considered unlikely to open an additional front with Israel.
Instead, it’s believed the rockets were fired by global jihadists of the Sunni variety. Amid the chaos wrought by what was once called the Arab spring, they’ve been infiltrating the area by the thousands lately. That includes Sinai, where Egypt’s control has been weakened by the turmoil in the country; Syria, where the jihadists are fighting the regime head-on; and Lebanon, where they hope to challenge Hizballah’s hegemony and are probably behind a recent wave of attacks on its strongholds.

Obama promised Hope and Change, and he delivered.
For the world’s terrorists: A New Hope.
For those who lived in freedom: Change.
Israel, send Kery to dismember Lebanon (and then don’t let him back into Isr!)
Obama to Israel, “Would I lie to you - oh wait never mind”.
Not to worry you “bunch of folks” in the USA.
Nobel Peace Prize Winner Barry “The Sorry” will call in his Mentor Vlad Putin, and there will again be Peace on Earth, Syriasly.
Impeach Obama in 2014. Period.
Thanks Nachum. The Sunnis in Lebanon would literally have to fire over Hizzie-held territory to hit Israel. This is obviously NOT what happened.
> During the 2006 Lebanon War, Hezbollah fired between 3,970 and 4,228 rockets, from light truck-mounts and single-rail man-portable launchers. About 95% of these were 122 mm (4.8 in) Syrian-manufactured M-21OF type artillery rockets which carried warheads up to 30 kg (66 lb) and had a range of 20 km, perhaps up to 30 km (19 mi). Hamas has launched 122-mm Grad-type Katyusha rockets from the Gaza Strip against several cities in Israel... In February 2013, the Defense Ministry of Yemen reported seizing an Iranian ship, and that the ship’s cargo included (among its other weapons) Katyusha rockets.

I think that Bebe has Obama’s number by now. In fact, he had it a long time ago. Nuff said.
Hizballah, Sunni’s, Shiites, Lebanese, Syrians, Libyans
Palestinians, Iranians. what difference does it make?
They are all Muslims causing the problems because it isn’t peace they want , it is power and the subjugation of anyone
in their way.
Murder, beheadings, stonings, torture, rape, it’s their idea of entertainment.
It’s us or them, and they grow stronger every day.
Perhaps some day before it is too late the worlds leaders will realize this and do something about it.
Good. The IDF is in range to blow the m-f’ers away.

Obama's people.
The enemy has captured our palace. This has been the most audacious war in history; it started when they knocked down the twin towers and ended with one of their own in the White House and our security services riddled with them.
Your words are downright chilling.
Sick and sad reality we are living through.
