Hezbollah to Attack Israelis Abroad
This from the Jerusalem Post.
Hezbollah is planning a terrorist attack against Israelis abroad within days, security sources warned on Thursday night. The warning of the imminent attack did not mention specific locations. It was issued as many Israelis were abroad for the weeklong Pessah holiday. Security is being stepped up at potential Jewish and Israeli targets overseas, the sources said. They named Hezbollah operative Talal Hamia as the commander of a small but well-organized overseas unit that had been tasked by the Lebanese terrorist organization with carrying out the attack.

Debka provides additional data.
For the first time in Israel’s 63-year old battle against terror, its external security agency Mossad Thursday night, April 21, issued a strong warning to travelling Israelis to beware of a major terrorist attack which Hizballah had already set in motion at some undisclosed location. The only information attached to the warning was that Hizballah had consigned a high-profile team for an operation to avenge the slaying of its top commander Imad Mughniyeh three years ago for which it blames Israel. …
The five top Hizballah terrorist operatives named are:
Talal Hamiyah, head of Hizballah’s External Security Organization – ESO. Deputy of the late Moughniyeh for many years, Hamiyah stepped into the slain terror-master’s shoes as commander of overseas operations. Hizballah’s Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah has entrusted him with avenging the death of his late boss.
Ahmed Al-Fayd, Hamiyah’s operations officer and right hand.
Najem a-Din, Hizballah’s bomb expert.
Naim Haris. In the guise of a Lebanese businessman, he is responsible for recruiting collaborators in different countries for Hizballah’s overseas hits.
Mehmet Taharawrlu, a Turkish national who recruits local talent to assist in Hizballah attacks in Turkey.

Analysis. We went through a lot of this in the 1970s and 1980s as various terrorist organizations hijacked aircraft and cruise ships to attack Israeli interests. These folks are not particularly careful to limit collateral damage unless they believe that a bunch of dead nationals of another country who are non-Jews will be a liability. Many Israeli tour companies offer tours to Jewish friendly location around the world. Los Angeles and Phoenix come to mind as advertisements I have seen recently.
Samir S. Halabi Says:
If Hezbollah make good their intentions threatening to attack Israelis anywhere outside of Israel, whereby they succeed, Lebanon should then be specifically targeted, as this no doubt is where where they plan their stategy in cold bloodied murder of the innocense, therefore it should only be right that action is then taken to hit the brain center of Hezbollah’s strategic planning headquarters and flatten it. Lebanon was once a jewel in the Middle-East, where all religions were tollerated, whether you be Christian, Musil Jew or other life was good. Now this ancient land has been turned into a hell-hole of hate, Christians who were once in the majority have been turned into a minority as many have been subjected to the horrors of slaughter by those muslim fanatical scum, Christians have fled their hellish homeland as jews before them have done many years ago.
