Eye on the Enemy: "Israeli" Warplanes Won’t Hit South Lebanon .. It’s Too Complicated
Deputy Foreign Minister: All Options against Hizbullah Are Open
Channel 10
Deputy Foreign Minister, Danny Ayalon said that the "Israeli" move against Iran would not be limited to the Security Council, "It is very important to toughen the sanctions against Iran not because of today's incident, but also because of its repeated attempts, we bring to mind what happened in New Delhi a few weeks ago when a wife of an "Israeli" diplomat was injured, and the attempt of targeting our ambassador in Tbilisi .. This is not just against "Israelis" but there was also an attempt to target the Saudi Ambassador to the United States."
"I think it will be very important for the entire international community to condemn and isolate Iran so that Iran or any Iranian passport holder cannot travel on any aircraft," he added.
Regarding Hizbullah, Ayalon said, that there is no difference today between Hizbullah and the Quds Force of Iran. Today we can say they are one unit. "As for Hizbullah, it is certainly not secure, and I think that "Israel" knows how to defend itself and hit the perpetrators; all options are open," Ayalon explained.
I think operational issues should not be detailed, but our aim is not only to isolate Iran, but Hizbullah too.
We are more eager to demand the international community to depict Hizbullah as a terrorist organization. Until today, Hizbullah is not defined as a terrorist organization in Europe; it is defined as a terrorist group in the United States and Canada and in other countries but not in Europe. We are preparing to execute a serious diplomatic campaign to define Hizbullah as a terrorist organization in Europe that will be of major importance.

"Israel" Warplanes Won't Hit South Lebanon .. It's Too Complicated
Channel 10
Military affairs correspondent on Channel Ten, Or Heller, said that Minister of defense Ehud Barak claims that the security establishment knows how to identify the perpetrators and will use all its power to know who carried out this attack and who is behind it. We have already heard the Prime Minister Netanyahu talking about some clues, who also recalled the 18th anniversary of the brutal attack on a building for the Jewish Community in Argentina, which killed 85 people. Here we diagnose a firm accusation directed at Iran and Hizbullah. It is clear that the second party will try to distance itself from the attack. That's why Hizbullah did not take revenge on the assassination of Imad Mughniyeh on the borders for example, where it is easier for its combatants to operate.
It is estimated that Hizbullah is not yet interested in launching a Third Lebanon War, and "Israel" is certainly not interested. I don't think anyone here will send the air force to attack Hizbullah's targets in south Lebanon as a response to this operation. We will keep witnessing a war of assassinations, a secret one we have been seeing in recent months and years, it is a daily war in which many people are involved in, whether in this building behind me (ministry of defense) or in another one in Tel Aviv where the Mossad staff is. In this war, sometimes "Israel" is in the lead, and other times - like today - the second party is.

Netanyahu: A Harsh Response Comes after Investigations
Channel 1
Channel 1 correspondent Ayala Hassoun reported that PM Netanyahu is now conducting negotiations about the bus attack, noting that "Netanyahu accused Iran directly, and said that all clues point to Iran". Netanyahu added that ""Israel" will fiercely respond to the Iranian terrorism", but didn't mention Hizbullah. Netanyahu explained that the response depends on the results of investigations, and recalled the incident of Argentine that took place 18 years ago, which Iran was accused of.

"Israeli" Response will be Secretive, Fearing Attacks on "Israelis" in London
Army Radio
At the beginning of this year, Chief of staff, Benny Gantz, sent a message to Hizbullah saying that it will pay a high price in case of attacking "Israelis" abroad. But reality is much more complicated. The Syrian situation is complicated, the chaos is Sinai has increased, and the Middle East is scorching. Thus, in case "Israel" will respond, the response will be more likely secretive and undeclared.
Iran and Hizbullah were directly accused after the attack on Wednesday.
It is estimated that "Israel" possesses important intelligence on which it built its accusations. Iranians, through the Quds force of the revolutionary guard, are directing Hizbullah to implement, inter alia, terrorist attacks abroad. The Iranian leader of the Quds force is the General Qassem Suleimani. Yesterday, and after several failed attempts since the assassination of Imad Moughniyeh, the terrorist attack succeeded. "Israel" hopes eventually that the examination of the bomb In Burgas will lead to a final verification. Minister of defense, Ehud Barak said he is positive that "Israel" will go after the perpetrators.
Currently, it is all about "Israel's" response. Before the start of the Olympic Games in London, it seems that the British security forces followed closely the failure of Bulgarian security system. In the current situation, there is no doubt that Hamas and al Qaeda are also involved in implementing terrorist attacks against "Israeli" targets abroad. Britons will have a lot of work in the vicinity of the "Israeli" delegation residence.
