It seems like ever since Hizbullah commander Imad Mughniyeh has been killed in a Damascus car bombing in February, the Israeli officials complain they get way more kidnapping and assasination threats. The threats target mainly senior IDF officers and security officials, Yedioth Ahronoth reports. The Israelis foiled 10 kidnap attempts in the recent years. Of course, the israeli paper does not say how many years. But it says this:
"The senior security officials told the cabinet that the defense establishment has most recently helped an IDF major-general escape a Middle East country after obtaining information that his life was in danger.
"Hizbullah's drive to abduct officers and other security personnel stationed outside Israel is skyrocketing," noted a source in the defense establishment.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak urged all Israelis to abide by the Counter Terrorism Bureau's travel advisories: "The government, through its various security agencies, is doing its best to map out all of the threats and warn the public. But responsibility lies first and foremost on the travelers."
