What will this flag of Hezbollah turn into if Israeli war victims are able to cut off the the source of Hezbollah's funding and military assistance: Iran.
Eighty five Israelis who were wounded in Second Lebanon War are going after Iran in American courts since, they say, without Iran’s support, Hezbollah would never have been able to spark the war that injured them, UPI reports.
The claimants have filed legal suit in the US against Iran’s central bank and Iranian commercial banks for a total of $1 billion.
The group’s lead attorney told reporters:
“The central bank of Iran and the Saderat Bank are the chief monetary pipelines from Iran to Hezbollah … Without these funds, Hezbollah would not have been able to build and maintain its infrastructure, to train the terrorists in its ranks, or carry out massive rocket fire at Israel.
“These banks act freely and knowingly aid terrorism. They are responsible for the damages incurred on the civilians in these attacks.”
The suit is based in part on a 2007 U.S. Treasury finding the Saderat Bank knowingly transferred funds for terrorist activities to Hezbollah from 2001 to 2006 in London.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah went on Lebanese television to declare that the terrorist group plans on hitting Tel Aviv and Ben-Gurion Airport.

I say more power to Israel…And I am so thankful to Our Lord that we can pray and ask him to bless Israel and all the Jewish peoples and know his will shall be done! May the victims win this suit and help disable Hezbollah. I ask that Rabbi Eckstein be blessed abundantly and his whole family. Thank-you and God bless you…
