Volume 13, Issue 15:
This newsletter is dedicated to the brave and resilient people in Israel’s northern border communities who have had to live with the fear of an impending attack from Hezbollah. Yet, remarkably, refuse to leave as they put aside their fear and quietly go on with their lives. And it is also dedicated to the equally resilient and courageous people in Israel’s southern communities bordering Gaza, who have endured thousands of rockets and missile attacks, and fires from their incendiary devices since the Gaza withdrawal of 2005. Yet most of them also refuse to leave. All of these ordinary Israeli citizens are heroic examples of a remarkable degree fortitude, resilience and courage, who have been, literally, on the front lines, holding down the fort between the forces of Western civilization and radical Islam. Every human being in the free, Western world owes them a tremendous debt of gratitude.

One way to quell the Iranian appetite for expansion: Stop giving money to the Lebanese armed forces ([link removed])
This past weekend was a particularly hot one for Israel. On September 1st, the Iranian proxy, Hezbollah, launched anti-tank missiles across Israel’s northern border, directly aiming at an IDF base. Fortunately, there were no sustained injuries. Israel responded by attacking Lebanese targets and the outlying borders of Lebanese communities along the Syrian-Lebanese border. Fortunately, there are no known casualties.
This was the first time since the Lebanese War of 2006 that there has been a significant military exchange between Hezbollah and Israel. It is felt that this skirmish might have been contained for now. However, the situation is extremely tense.
And what makes it tenser still is that we all know that this is a shadow war, and the Islamic Regime is actually the puppet-master pulling the strings of Hezbollah and other Shiite proxy groups, throughout Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen.
