Rockets were fired at Israel from Lebanon. From Belmont Club….

The NYT reports that 3 rockets have been fired into Israel from the North. This raises a number of questions: is Hezbollah opening, or threatening to open a second front? Has UNIFIL been effective in preventing the reoccupation of the border towns and Hezbollah’s rearmament?

I don’t agree with the Belmount Club on this one. I think that Abu Muqawama has it right when he says……

For once, I am inclined to believe a Hizballah spokesperson. (Although this particular spokeswoman is most certainly “Madam No” herself, quite possibly the worst spokesperson in the history of spokespersons. Or speaking.)

a) I honestly do not believe that Hizballah has an interest in sparking an Israeli counter-attack (just yet) through an action of their own.

b) If this was Hizballah, I would think it would be a little more spectacular than three to four rockets.

c) This has happened before. Some rogue Palestinian group or Sunni group will manage to launch a few rockets into Israel. Hizballah will get a case of the red ass because, hey, resistance along the Blue Line is their territory — and theirs alone. And as long as the Israelis play it cool, no one else gets hurt.
