syria getting a dose of its own medicine. nothing wrong about that, especially since an arch-terrorist was killed (which is never a bad thing).

and kuntar should be the next one. Never hear anything about him. Guess, like Nasrallah, kuntar is keeping a low profile. They must be terrified. I know Nesrallah is, but kuntar is probably still at the learning stage.

5. If true ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.14.09)
that the customs official hadn't a clue that he was aiding the Mossad, then it is a textbook example of false flag recruitment. Poor bugger. The Syrians will hang him, anyway; that's for sure.
6. The real point + #3's Comment
Intelligence   (11.14.09)
While it would be an interesting tale to learn truthfully who and how were the people involved, and even with very plausible scenarios like this, in the end we'll never be entirely sure until perhaps numerous years after the fact. The real point is that a monster of a "human" was taken care of. I do strongly agree with #3, Kuntar deserves the worst. Nasrallah is a mouse hiding in his hole, feebly squeaking at Israel. Although, their continually arment is highly troublesome and a pretext for a future altercation.

8. Let me get this straight.
leo ,   usa   (11.14.09)
Syrian official gets bribed to leave border crossing unattended and Mugneyah gets assassinated because of that. And we all are seriously debating it. Is there anything else I am missing?
9. Before you rejoice Sarah B.,.....
Marco ,   Spain   (11.14.09)
do you have an idea how many members of your beloved IDF are currently on the payroll of Hezbollah? Does your aging memory still remember the 12 commandos of your elite Golani brigade that were completely wiped out upon landing at Ansariye south of Sidon Lebanon? Hezbollah had advanced knowledge as to where the landing was supposed to take place and the area was heavily mined. As soon as the Golani unit landed, it was completely sorrounded in a mine field and it took minutes to cut them to pieces. Do you know that Hezbollah's informants were from the Golani unit itself? Are you aware that Hezbollah has advanced information about any Israeli war plane that takes off from an airbase in northern Israel? The intelligence game is a two way street, and its only a matter of time before a person of interest in Israel will have to pay the ultimate price for the murder of Imad Moghniyeh. Nasrallah promised revenge and he has always kept his promises. You people know that very well.
10. Nonsense of the highest order
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (11.14.09)
For one Syria doesn't have only customs employees at the border crossings, they have police, secret service and military units Anyone wishing to cross the border goes through multiple security and background checks, therefore a single customs official missing will not be enough to let someone in. In addition, a customs official cannot be missing because of the multiple security branches present at the border crossings supervising each other. Secondly, Israeli agents have other clandestine means of getting into Syria beside border crossings

Marco ! If your beloved Hezbollah are so able,how come ?,they did not help their terrorist brothers in Gaza during the war between Israel and Hamas,you are right,Revenge is very important in Islam,more important than feeding the children.

15. #9 Nasrallah's actions no surprise
Cynthia ,   USA   (11.14.09)
It's well known that perpetrators of crimes make attempts to divert attention from themselves. Calling for revenge against Israel when there is no proof of Israel's involvement brings us back to Nasrallah who had a motive. He was demoted by Iran after the War in Lebanon and replaced by Mughniyeh. These threats of revenge are getting old, particularly since the investigation into Mughniyeh's death was never completed.
16. Come on, people!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.14.09)
I spent an hour on the Internet seeking a single reference to the alleged massacre to which Marco refers, and could not find a single thing, not even in the most hard-core anti-Israel Arab and Moslem websites. You have to believe that had such a massacre taken place, we'd know about it and it would have surfaced somewhere on the Internet. Marco -- and all his alter egos he posts under -- is nothing more than some sad, pathetic fool who professes to knowledge he does not have, and makes up lies in order to impress and come across as knowledgeable. We all know what a complete and utter troll he is. Why give him the satisfaction of a response? That lends his posts a dignity they do not deserve and, frankly, lends him a legitimacy he does not possess. Just give him the respect his posts warrant -- which is to say, none at all.

Fatal intelligence failure was very evident in penetration of Hezbullah to the elite government firm of RAFAEL Armament Development Authority. Very important information was leaked to the extent that Israel ordered investigation of every person attached with this institution especially Arab and Druze, whatever his job is; an outside wall guard, cleaner man, or a high-caliber technician. One would wonder how many undeclared failures, political, military and intelligence have actively played in this just small round of war.

marco is right about the death of the israeli commandos in lebanon,i myself have seen the pictures,truely i got sick to my stomach when al-quds al-arabi newspaper printed their pictures on the front page,sarah check out al-quds al-arabi website archives,hopefuly you are able to read arabic

Marco ,   Spain   (11.15.09)
You did your reasearch on the internet and found no trace of the massacre of your elite commandos??? You must be one heck of a failure as an attorny. As a matter of fact I doubt that you are an attorny. All I did was google "12 Israeli commandos cut down in ansariye lebanon" and there it was in simple plain english. Its an article written by the english version of 'Le Monde Diplomatique' Sarah, do you feel stupid now?
20. To: No. 19
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.15.09)
I did exactly what you suggested. The search produced one result only: http://mondediplo.com/1999/11/09lebanon Curiously enough, Marco, the article makes no mention of dead Israeli commandos. How do you account for that? How do you account for the fact that it is the ONLY hit produced by the search? I suspect you cannot. Moreover, this website has nothing to do with France's reputable newspaper "Le Monde." It's carping on their name. I suspect it is a shadow website for Hizbollah, and that the lead author of the news item is an Arab. Try a little harder, Marco. And, no, I never feel stupid. Although I suppose you have felt that way often enough for any ten people. But is that the best you can do to challenge me? Call me names? Oh, you'll have to do considerably better than that. Lies, Marco, are the only thing in which you have proven yourself competent. The last refuge of a scoundrel. But we knew that already. What is surprising is that, having been caught in so many, why do you keep returning here? Have you no pride?

Lebanese ,   Beirut   (11.17.09)
The Ansariyeh trap actually happened. Anybody who is acknowledged of the Lebanese-Israeli conflict knows about it. It was such a big disgrace for the Israeili Army. It took place at Sept 1997, a special of Israeli force landed at Ansarieh at South Lebanon, to find out that Lebanese Hezboullah fighters already know about the operation and were waiting. Some of the Israeli soldiers were literately cut into peices.... it was humiliating.
