Terrified Israel Closes 4 Embassies for Fear of Hezbollah Reprisal


Israel, for the third consecutive year, had been in a nightmare since it committed the life mistake in assassinating Hezbollah’s leader Haj Imad Mughniyeh.

Foreign Ministry Officials on Tuesday reported that security at four Israeli embassies abroad has been increased to the maximum level following “a number of unusual events against Israeli locations.”

In addition, the Foreign Ministry said that the four embassies were at risk of being closed due to the “threats” aimed at them.

The ministry did not specify which embassies it was referring to but representatives in Tel Aviv said they have contacted the necessary officials throughout the world.

The Israeli occupation forces stepped up its vigilance along the northern border with occupied Palestine and Israeli embassies went on high alert last weekend ahead of the third anniversary of the martyrdom of Haj Imad Mughniyeh.

On Friday, the Counter Terrorism Bureau issued a travel advisory for all Israelis due to the anniversary of the assassination warning against traveling to Egypt, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, the Ivory Coast Mali, Mauritania and Venezuela.

The advisory warned against traveling to these locations in the imminent future and to particularly refrain from gathering in places with large groups of Israelis.
