Hezbollah Fires Antitank Missile at IDF Vehicle Near Border
Israel National News ^ | 1/28/2015 | Gil Ronen

An antitank missile has been fired at an IDF vehicle from the Har Dov area (Shebaa Farms) in a Hezbollah ambush Wednesday morning, and there are reportedly seven casualties, who are receiving treatment. A helicopter has been taking casualties to a hospital.

The IDF is certain that none of its soldiers was abducted.

Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for the attack, through journalist Rassan Ben Jiddo, who is close to the terrorist militia.

ZAKA emergency services initially said that three people were hurt.

The IDF spokesman said that an antitank missile was fired at an IDF vehicle that was moving along the border. Channel 2 said there was also mortar fire at IDF outposts.

Speaking on Channel 2, Col. (res.) Kobi Marom called the incident "very serious" and said that it involved casualties and will require a harsh Israeli response.

In an initial reaction, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who is in Sderot, said: "Anyone who tries to challenge us in the north should look at Hamas that was dealt the hardest blow it has received since its creation."

Obama is surely the driving force for the Axis of Evil these days.

So many Allies lost, enemies gained, paper-tiger staring into his navel and pondering what other damage he can inflict on himself and the world before January 2017...

With its involvement in Syria, I wonder: why would Hezbollah be looking to open a second front with Israel? Maybe they figure they’d damn well better take advantage of the Obama Administration, while it’s still around.

If war breaks out with Israel, even money that Obama sides with Hezbollah.

Just remember zero does not want Bibi to speak here and 0 has a phone to call his buds-start a mini war in Israel to keep him away. “Hello achmed start lobbing rockets at Israel, alla snackbar, love your buddy hussein. “
