Israelis receive threatening texts after Lebanon blasts
Messages appear to be sent by Hezbollah affiliates after the movement vowed retaliation
Thousands of Israelis received threatening text messages on Wednesday, which appeared to have been sent by Hezbollah affiliates.
The messages, some of which included web links that Israeli authorities say are suspicious, came after thousands of pagers and hand-held radios used by members of Hezbollah exploded across Lebanon.
However, some of the messages used incorrect Hebrew. Other used a threatening tone and some were in English.
“Say goodbye to your loved ones, but don't worry. You'll hug them in hell in a few hours,” one text read.
The message was sent by “SyHaNasrala” according to Haaretz, apparently in reference to Hezbollah’s leader, who is referred to as Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah.
“If you want to live, leave. If you want to stay, go to hell,” another message read in English, the Israeli newspaper added.

How shocking that this broad act of terrorism by the Israelis would prompt threats of terrorism in response. Nobody could have anticipated that.
