ABC News is reporting that Palestinian Gunmen have blown a hole through an Egypt border wall and a flood of people crossed into Gaza. One can only speculate why anyone would rush into Gaza unless preparing to fight the Israeli incursion. My own speculation is that this may be a bunch of Muslim Brotherhood empathizers. Not good.
Yesterday, Israel Ambassador to the U.S. Daniel Ayalon said that the “masterminds” behind the Hezbollah attacks from Lebanon are in Damascus and Tehran, but refused to provide details of potential Iranian or Syrian involvement. But the mention of these two capital cities may reflect posturing for a serious broadening of Israel’s engagement against states in the region. Not good.
Israel today has stated that the rockets that Hezbollah fired from Lebanon were made in Iran.
More later.
