Hezbullah planned multiple attacks on Israeli and Egyptian targets.
According to the report, Shihab gave “earth-shattering confessions” during his investigation. Shihab reportedly admitted that the organization’s goal was to carry out attacks in Egypt, and not to aid Hamas in Gaza, as Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah had claimed.
Shihab said he was ordered by the Hizbullah headquarters to carry out terror attacks on Egyptian soil and to target Israeli tourists and foreigners. Shihab said the cell was tasked with carrying out the attacks using suicide bombs, car bombs, and planting explosives among Israelis staying in Sinai, and in Dahab, Taba and Nuweiba in particular.
Many of the major media outlets have written more about this. But the majority—and especially the AP—seem far more interested in a supposed Israeli spy ring broken in Lebanon. Or the gift to the Lebanese army of American UAVs, because gee, no way those will fall into Hezbollah’s hands, what with Hezbollah being part of the government now and all that.
Iran is extending its reach, and yet, the world remains focused on Israel.
Sounds like they were there precisely for the resorts. To blow up the resorts, but still.
