Al-Qaeda: 'We Hit Israel From Lebanon, Again'
by Nissan Ratzlav-Katz
(IsraelNN.com) An al-Qaeda branch apparently active in Lebanon claims to have launched attacks on Israel. The group mocks the Iran-backed Hizbullah terrorist organization and calls for a unified front against Israel and the United Nations under the command of Osama Bin-Laden. The call to jihad was issued in a video recording released this past week by al-Qaeda of al-Sham, a region known as
These actions, the video claims, were carried out under the direct command of Bin-Laden.
"Greater Syria" encompassing Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and parts of Jordan, Iraq and Turkey. The brief video, titled "Penetrating the Fortresses", includes statements by al-Qaeda senior leaders such as Osama Bin-Laden, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi and Ayman al-Zawahiri relating to the jihadist front with Israel. The jihadists, they say, will not sit quietly and will even crawl to get to the front and "free Palestine".
As an example, the video explains and visually demonstrates how a cell from al-Qaeda of al-Sham (AQASH) supposedly bypassed the Lebanese Army, Hizbullah and UNIFIL forces, launched missiles towards Israel, and then retreated undetected. These actions, the video claims, were carried out under the direct command of Bin-Laden, and it calls for more such attacks against the Jewish State.
The AQASH video claim of responsibility for a rocket attack apparently refers to a January 8, 2009 barrage from southern Lebanon that hit the Israeli city of Nahariya. Three Katyusha rockets injured two people and caused significant property damage. At the time, Hizbullah denied involvement in the incident.

They have been pretty ineffective now so the only damage they can do is make tapes talking about all the make believe things they have done.
