Let's Guess Who Fired Those Rockets From Lebanon

Rockets hit Israel from Lebanon

"At least three rockets have been fired into northern Israel from Lebanon raising fears that the current Israeli offensive in Gaza may spill over.
Israel's army said it had returned fire into Lebanon. There are no details
."

Israel's justification for their current death orgy in Gaza has always been the rockets fired toward Israeli towns. That's the talking point narrative that's been repeated over and over again in answer to any question concerning the zionist rampage - "We have to protect our citizens from those terrorist rockets".

But of course it's not about those launches. Israel apparently wants to goad it's neighbors into a much wider middle east war and are using the rocket launches as an excuse. Back on December 27 "someone" had positioned some rockets in Lebanon to fire across the border, oh so coincidently on the same day Israel began it's sudden aerial assault on Gaza:

Lebanese Army defuses rockets pointed at Israel

"BEIRUT: UN and Lebanese military patrols along the Israeli border have been stepped up following the discovery of eight rockets connected to timers that were just hours from firing into Israel on Thursday.
Lebanese soldiers on a routine patrol discovered the Katyusha and Grad rockets after being alerted by a farmer who had found them armed and pointing toward Israel in Hammoul, northeast of Naqoura, military officials told The Daily Star on Friday.
If the rockets had been successfully fired, the attack could have represented a serious breach of the cease-fire agreement that ended the 2006 war. Israeli officials have reportedly warned that if the attack had not been thwarted, it would have caused "friction and fighting" on the Lebanese border."

It's been widely reported that Hamas was taken completely by surprise that day - "Ehud Barak has always prided himself on his intellect as much as his fighting ability. So when the Israeli Defence Minister launched Operation Cast Lead against Hamas on Saturday the offensive was meticulously planned. The targets in Gaza had been selected after months of intelligence gathering. Hamas leaders were taken by surprise."
So who planted those Grad and Katyusha munitions that were connected to timers, primed to launch the same day into Israel as it began it's bombardment of Gaza? The unwary Hamas? Hezbollah who telepathically knew Barak's plans?

Or was it the Israelis who if it weren't for observant farmers and the Lebanese military, would have used those rockets to justify widening their long planned assault on their neighbors?

Just something to remember if there's retaliation to the north.
