Haaretz: Uncovering Agents Reinforces Standing of Opposition
Readers Number : 126
03/06/2009 Under the title "Israeli silence and the Lebanese spy rings," Israeli daily Haaretz broke the official silence in the occupied territories since the beginning of the uncovering of the Israeli Mossad-linked cells in Lebanon…
According to the Israeli daily, watching the Arab television networks, which are extensively covering the uncovering of the "Israeli espionage network," is not a particularly heartwarming experience for the Israelis these days. "One after another, Lebanese army and police officers, some of them high-ranking, are being brought in for detention and questioning. Advanced electronic equipment has been confiscated. The heads of Lebanon's counterintelligence are proud of their successes in breaking the Israeli code," Haaretz emphasized.
Yet, Haaretz went on to say that it is very difficult to gauge the true dimensions of the affair. It explained that, for instance, the timing of the publication is far from coincidental and thus linked it to the Lebanese parliamentary elections scheduled for June 7, next Sunday. The Israeli daily noted, in this context, that investigation reports reinforce the standing of the national opposition forces in Lebanon, including Hezbollah.
Haaretz then wondered whether the reports from Lebanon mean things are getting worse for Israel. But the daily recalled that Israel will not provide its "enemies" with official declarations indicating whether they hit their target or missed it completely. "The average Israeli, as a media consumer, therefore never knows the genuine extent of the damage, if any," it emphasized.
However, and in another sign of the Israeli ongoing "defeat," Haaretz said loudly that it's quite clear that the Israeli public is tired of hearing about the screw-ups of its military forces.
