I've Been Thinking:

Israel's northern border with Lebanon is on alert.
There is a serious threat that Hizbullah will launch a raid and/or loft missiles into northern Israel from posts in Southern Lebanon.

Why has Hizbullah chosen right now to saber rattle?
What is happening now causing Hizbullah to ratchet up tensions?

It is a simple case of keeping up with the Jones's.
Hamas is escalating tensions with Israel.
Islamic Jihad is escalating tensions with Israel.
How would it look if the grand poobah of terror in the region stood silent?

They say that imitation is the best form of flattery.
In this case, it makes for a very worrisome situation.
