ICEJ News is reporting: Amir Mousavi, a former adviser to the Iranian defense minister, told Lebanese Al-Mayadeen TV on Friday that “A new front must be opened from the West Bank, after it has been armed – especially with missiles, because we know very well that the distance between the West Bank and Tel Aviv, Haifa and other areas is much shorter than the distance from Gaza. Therefore, simple means are required. There is no need for long-range missiles. Everybody will see that new and significant fronts will be opened all of a sudden to support the Palestinian cause in the West Bank and in Gaza,” he asserted. The “arming of Gaza will be stepped up and strategic weapons will be introduced into the West Bank. We hope the PA will not hinder us.” There was no word on how seriously the threat, which follows the pattern of Iranian rhetoric which often turns out to be utterly baseless, was being taken by Israeli officials.
