I've Been Thinking:

The story of the Hezbollah cell that was uncovered and dismembered in Egypt is becoming more and more interesting.

The most recent information emerging from the interrogation of arrested cell members is that two of them were actually Fatah members planning to infiltrate Israel and perpetrate attacks in Tel Aviv.

The two terrorists were caught and transferred to the authorities in Gaza who let them go. They then returned to Egypt to complete their training and eventually make their way into Israel.

The recruitment techniques and the effectiveness of this cell is impressive.
They recruited Sunni Fatah members and manipulated them so that they would adopt the Hezbollah Shiite perspective.
They wanted to hurt Egypt.

This entire episode is an example of the way in which Hezbollah overstepped their boundaries.
Hezbollah should never have ventured to plan an attack in another Arab country and never should have admitted to it even if they had.
Hezbollah is getting too big for their britches.
