| Iran pays for Paleo missle strikes |
| 2007-02-20 |
| Israel's intelligence community has determined that Iran was financing the daily Palestinian missile attacks against the Jewish state. Officials said Iran has pledged to pay thousands of dollars for each missile strike from the Gaza Strip into Israel. They said the size of the Iranian payment depended on whether there were Israeli casualties or injuries. "There is a price list that takes into consideration the number of missiles fired, casualties and damage," an official said. "It's an easy way for Palestinians involved in terrorism to make money." Officials said Islamic Jihad has obtained most of the money for the missile strikes. Jihad has claimed credit for the lion's share of the Kassam-class, short-range missile attacks from the northern Gaza Strip over the last month. Jihad, which pledged to observe the ceasefire announced in early December, has targeted the Israeli cities of Ashkelon and Sderot. |

| #6 "Still flogging the usual peeve, eh DG?" Heh…Pappy. I know…I know. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. When it comes to Rodan’s reporting, I would be shocked if he actually had a named source. Not to mention…a return on investment list? Methinks a tanker-truck of sodium is needed on this one. Wonder how long before “Iranfocus” picks this one up. |

| #5 So it could be true, it it could be false information fed by the Mossad, or it could just be a rumour... I wouldn't be surprised if it were true, though. So many others have paid by the operation through the years, like Saddam Hussein. |

| #2 The minute Israel determined that any foreign government was paying for attacks via proxy, it should have retaliated directly against that foreign government. Specifically against whoever ordered the attack. Such antics only exist when those pulling the strings feel they can do so with impunity. Now if the Israelis wanted to be a little subtle about it, they should make of list of the leaders of Iran, from most radical to least radical, then start by culling the most radical, even if they had no direct responsibility for the attack. By doing it this way, they would both get easier targets, and better long range effects. |
