I think Israel is Attacking Lebanon to Bait Iran ...

I think Israel is Attacking Lebanon - During the Olympics - to Bait Iran.

Based on past patterns of Israel -
1.  The pattern of attacking when the World has their attention focussed elsewhere -
I believe there was an offensive of some kind during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and also, the attack on Gaza civilians between Christmas & New Year in 2008.
2.  The old Israeli con of saying "but we were attacked, we were just acting in self-defense"

Lebanon & Hezbollah are often cited as supporters of Iran, who will attack Israel if Israel attacks Iran.  

But will Iran come to the aid of Lebanon if Lebanon is attacked ?  If they do come to the aid of Lebanon, it can be spun as an attack on Israel.

Anyway, I think this is what is going on, right now.  Israel will use the cover of the Olympics ... instead of "let the Games begin !", it will be, "let the Hostilities begin !"

That's why they call Israel, "IsraHell".
