Hezbollah Threatens To Kidnap More IDF Soldiers


Hezbollah's deputy chief announced today that the jihadist terrorist group will definitely look at abducting more Israeli troops in the future.
He claims that Hezbollah will do this to ensure the release of Lebanese prisoners from Israel.
Kassem, the deputy chief, claims that Israel will eventually give in. Well dufus, don't count on it and at the same time, one has to hope that Israel is taking all precautions necessary. I've said it here more than once, that top Hezbollah officials HAVE to become Israeli targets. The two kidnapped Israeli soldiers STILL being held (if both are even alive) need immediate return and at this point, the only way to get them back is to take out people like Kassem himself. Take him out or kidnap him. The situation that Lebanon is in right now would lend itself to an operation by the Israelis - and if Nasrallah values his own skin, he'd hand over whatever Israel wants before Kasem's body is even cool.

Here's the full story from jpost.


Kassem threatens to kidnap more troops

Hizbullah deputy chief Naim Kassem said on Tuesday that his organization would continue to kidnap IDF soldiers in order to bring about the release of Lebanese prisoners held in Israeli jails.
Kassem told Hizbullah supporters during a rally in Beirut that Israel would eventually yield to the group's demands to free Lebanese detainees.
Meanwhile, Karnit Goldwasser, whose husband, Ehud, was kidnapped by Hizbullah in 2006, said on Tuesday that because of halted talks between the relevant sides, she was unsure whether he would return.
"The present situation is that the negotiations are completely jammed. After a year and a half were in the exact spot we were in a day after the kidnapping.
"I go home alone, and don't know what to expect - whether Udi will return alive or not… I will make every effort to get him back," Goldwasser told representatives of Jewish communities in Hong Kong, Singapore and London during a conference organized by the Jewish Agency. The conference was aimed at raising international awareness of kidnapped soldiers.
Goldwasser asked Jewish representatives to call on their national leaders to approach the Lebanese government in an effort to get them to apply pressure to Hizbullah chief Hassan Nasrallah to release Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, captured in the same incident.
