Quoting: Anonymous Coward 761416Israeli Arab charged in Hezbollah plot to kill IDF chief According to the charge sheet, Sultani first made contact with Hezbollah agents at a multi-national Arab summer camp in Morocco organized by the Israeli Arab political party Balad. Lebanese Hezbollah agent Salman Harev, who also took part in the camp, spent much of the summer lecturing the Israeli Arab participants on his group's struggle. Harev allegedly recruited Sultani, who is the son of a well-known Tira lawyer, after the latter informed him that he and the IDF chief worked out at the same Kfar Sava gym. The two remained in touch via telephone and Facebook after Sultani returned to Israel. In December 2008, Sultani allegedly flew to Poland to meet another Hezbollah agent, where he then imparted all the information he had collected on Ashkenazi. The second agent, "Sami", allegedly asked Sultani to gather informatioon on other senior Israeli and IDF officials. Israeli intelligence sources assess that Hezbollah chose the IDF chief as a target to avenge the death of slain militant leader Imad Mughniyeh, believed to have been assassinated by Israel. Sultani has been charged with a series of security offenses, including conveying information to an enemy agent and conspiracy to commit a crime. [link to www.haaretz.com] |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 761418 Spain 09/02/2009 08:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hizbullah's decision to target IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi was a natural response to the assassination of Imad Mughniyeh in Damascus in February 2008, for which the group blames Israel. Israeli-Arab indicted for Hizbullah plot to assassinate Ashkenazi Mughniyeh was the military commander of all Hizbullah forces, both in Lebanon and overseas. Ashkenazi is the Israeli equivalent. The ramifications, though, of an IDF chief of staff's assassination are almost unimaginable. In June 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon three days after an assassination attempt on Shlomo Agrov, the ambassador in London. In 2006, the Second Lebanon War erupted following the abduction of two Israeli reservists - Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser. Had Ashkenazi been assassinated, or had an attempt been made to do so, the results would likely have been the same. [link to www.jpost.com] |
