Israeli commandoes storm Hizballah arms ship

Israeli naval commandoes acting on firm intelligence Tuesday night stormed a cargo ship off the coast of Cyprus and found a large cache of Iranian weapons destined for Hizballah and Syria.

The Israelis faced no resistance after boarding the vessel, which they then sailed back to the Israeli port of Ashdod for unloading and inspection.

Military officials said the weapons, which included advanced arms such as guided missiles, were hidden behind civilian cargo. The ship's crew also tried to disguise their true mission by flying an Antiguan flag.

Though the action took place far outside Israel's territorial waters, Defense Minister Ehud Barak praised the operation as yet another necessary and successful step in combating terrorist efforts to destabilize the region.

3 .  Russia, Iran, no difference, one in the same but,
hate Israel, Russia was going to attack Israel in 1984 but, it wasn''t Gods timing, so the Israeli''s attacked Lebonan and found all the weapon''s meant to be used against them, the Hand of God in that. God Bless Israel who will always win when God decides it. God Bless Believer''s saved by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus the Messiah at His death, burial and resurrection: Pray for the non-believer''s as they need it more now then ever before:

6 .  The ship''s crew should go to prison.
The ship itself should become the permanent property of Israel. And the weapons cache should be delivered to the Hizballah, by air mail. The German owner of the ship should be sued. And the UN should publically denounce Iran. Where were these weapons made? Bomb the missle factories.

42. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

43. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

44. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

45. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

46. Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

18 .  PM NETANYAHU: World must back Israel,
pressure Iran

"It is high time that the international community apply significant pressure on Iran to stop this criminal activity and support Israel as it defends itself against terrorists and their sponsors," he said.

"Those who needed further proof that Iran is continuing to supply weapons to terror organizations got it today,"

"Iran is sending these weapons to terror groups with the aim of hurting Israel and killing civilians," Netanyahu said in a statement.

19 .  ELBARADEI: Iran wants to be seen as regional power
UN nuclear chief says Iran''s nuclear program is attempt to be seen as regional power, ''means to an end''

Iran''s nuclear program, which Tehran says is only intended to generate electricity, is an attempt to force the world to acknowledge it as a regional power, UN nuclear chief Mohamed ElBaradei said on Wednesday.

"They believe that the nuclear know-how brings prestige, brings power, and they would like to see the US engaging them," he told a forum on nuclear disarmament.

"Unfortunately that holds some truth. Iran has been taken
seriously since they have developed their program."

Saying Iran''s nuclear program was a "means to an end," ElBaradei
said Tehran "wants to be recognized as a regional power."

21 .  Maj.-Gen. Amos Yadlin, director of IDF Military -
Intelligence, told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Tuesday that Hamas -

has accumulated an arsenal of rockets slightly larger than
the arsenal it possessed before last winter''s fighting.

Hamas has used the lull in fighting with Israel to not only
restore, but improve its capabilities.

Still, and similar to Hizbullah, restoring the arsenal hardly testifies to restoring motivation to confront Israel militarily.

Hamas is in no hurry for a confrontation. Gaza has not yet recovered from the devastation of the Gaza operation,

and Hamas knows it would pay in heavy casualties if the conflict reignites. (Zep. 2:1-11, Ez. 25:15-17)

22 .  Hamas Testing Missiles That Could Hit Tel Aviv
The test-fired missile produced by Iran was received by way of underground smuggling tunnels.

The Hizbullah terror org. continues to receive weapons and
supplies from Iran as well.

ALEX FISHMAN: Don''t Count on Goldstone to Curb Israel''s
Response to Attacks on Tel Aviv

While Sderot sustained rocket attacks for eight years until the military and political conditions were "ripe" for a retaliatory strike in Gaza,

Tel Aviv will not sustain such
attacks for eight days,
not even for eight hours.

In order to put an immediate end to missile attacks on central Israel - regardless of where they originated:

Syria, Lebanon, or Gaza - we will see massive retribution that will make
the Gaza operation appear like a tiny scratch.

24 .  It would be interesting.....
to know how the Israeli''s found out about the arms shipment and which freighter it was on. Looking at the reverse side of things, the Iranians just supplied Israel with a brand new shipment of weapons and missles. All of which can be used in the future to fight their enemies.

28 .  Who''s hating?
Overall, this capture is a good thing.

But it is only the beginning.

You ALL hate because of your religious differences and the strength of your faith in that.

Those of us who want no part of your religious wars are fixing to stand up against you.

We, are your Armageddon, not them.

37 .  Superb Work by the IDF !
Bibi is leading the country well. The Tanach (Bible) teaches explicitly that Yahweh''s Power is accessible to those who Awaken to it. Defending the righteous is explicit in Christianity as well. I''m heartened by this successful defensive attack.
