Israel Raises Concerns That The Lifting Of Iranian Sanctions Will Spur More Attacks Against Them



FOX News: Evidence mounts that soon-to-be flush Iran already spurring new attacks on Israel

HAIFA, Israel – An unsettling surge in terrorism by Iranian proxies has many Israelis convinced the release to Tehran of tens of billions of dollars in frozen funds is already putting the Jewish state in danger.

In recent days, rockets have rained down on Israel from Gaza in the south and the Golan Heights to the north, Israeli forces foiled a bomb plot at the tomb of biblical patriarch Joseph, and Gaza-based terrorist groups that also have a presence in the West Bank have openly appealed for aid on Iranian television. Israeli officials fear the terrorist activity is spiking as groups audition for funding from Tehran, which is set to receive the long-frozen funds as part of its deal to allow limited nuclear inspections. They say the international focus on Iran's nuclear ambitions has left its more conventional methods of attacking regional adversaries unaddressed.

Update: Israel says Iran is sponsoring rocket attacks -- Politico

WNU Editor: For the moment the Syrian civil war, the rise of the Islamic State, and the conflict in Yemen is where everyone's attention is focused on. But once these conflicts are resolved .... Israel is correct in voicing its concerns.
