Another "Whac-a-Mole" success story. If you target terrorist weapon shipments, you are bound to hit Iranians. I wonder, if this dead Iranian general gave anti-tank weapons to the terrorists to kill Americans in Iraq?
Could be true, but a rather partisan source. Can DG produce a more neutral source for the same information?

I'm curious about who managed to determine it was an arms shipment to Hezbollah and based on what evidence. Maybe it's nobody which is why they had to use the term "said to have".
Israels population is not that large, and its brightest men are chosen to be jet pilots. The report is probably right when it said that they are not willing to chance losing them unless the stakes are pretty high. As for the information Israel had about the convoy and General, it was probably accurate. The one advantage the Jews have always had by living in so many countries, is that they are able to blend in and so they make excellent spies. The two top spies in WWI; Mata Hari and O'Reilly were both Jews.
I wonder, if they had secondary explosions? Watch this tunnel full of Pals and explosives go up in smoke. Big Time!! [video=youtube;K1VVTbQhxh0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1VVTbQhxh0[/video] Hamas house: [video=youtube;-bP3Os2UdCM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bP3Os2UdCM[/video]
If they really were hitting SAMs destined for Hamas, it really sounds like a legitimate target in the interests of self defence. If the Iranian was killed, it might provide a good demonstration on what the Israeli's could do if pushed into a conflict.
