Israel Braces For Hezbollah Attacks

In a story I was just reading concerning the "assassination" of Imad Mughnyeh, and the aftermath of his death, which threatens to cause many more deaths among Israelis and Lebanese "fighters".

It states:
Israel is bracing for threatened retaliation by Hezbollah over charges that it assassinated one of the Lebanese militia's top commanders, with fears running high of a high-profile attack abroad. Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah declared "open war" on Israel in a fiery speech at Thursday's funeral in Beirut of Imad Mughnieh, a shadowy figure on America's Most Wanted list who was killed in a Damascus car bombing.

Israel has denied any involvement in the assassination, but Nasrallah said that by killing Mughnieh, it had taken its battle with Hezbollah beyond Lebanon's borders and should therefore expect attacks anywhere.

If the Israeli's are telling the truth, then it is of utmost importance to find out who did kill this "terrorist", and bring them to "justice". Personally, I find the Syrian link very compelling, because if they had him killed, for whatever reason, and can shift the blame to Israel they will have possibly "killed two birds with stone", by getting the Hezbollah "fighters" to do their killing of Israeli's for them. We have seen Syria assassinate others' who stood in their way, and I am sure we will see more in the future, as they are still displeased that they are not in full control of Lebanon.
