Hezbollah heeft in het verleden meermaals Israelische en Joodse doelen buiten Israel aangevallen, net als Palestijnse groeperingen in vooral de jaren '70 en '80 deden. Het is daarom des te vreemder dat Europa Hezbollah niet als terroristische organisatie beschouwt, en dat de VN en de UNIFIL vredesmacht in Zuid-Libanon zich zo mild over deze organisatie uitlaten.

Defense Minister Ehud Barak confirmed on Wednesday that the security establishment has managed to foil two attacks against Israelis abroad.
"We've prevented, with the help of international agencies, at least two attacks against Israelis in different corners of the world," Barak said. "Clearly there is a risk, especially to former high-ranking officers who go to Muslim countries without prior security arrangements."
Barak urged these officers to be more alert. "Being Israeli means great pride but also great responsibility? IDF officers and Israeli official as well as unofficial envoys should be alert and abide by the warnings."
Israel's secret services recently stepped up warnings that the Lebanese guerilla organization Hezbollah will try to kidnap reserve Israel Defense Forces officers in order to avenge the death of the organization's top commander Imad Mughniyeh, who was allegedly killed by Israel a few months ago.

He also commented on the Shi'ite organization's continued rearming, and said that "we are all concerned about Hezbollah's increased capabilities, which have reached an unprecedented peak. They now have 40,000 missiles capable of hitting [the southern cities of] Yeruham, Dimona and Arad."
