Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah threatened on Sunday to bombard Israeli civilians with “tens of thousands of rockets.” This explicit threat of mass war crimes by the Iran-backed terror organization, which militarily controls southern Lebanon and dominates the country’s political system, is unlikely to be met with robust international condemnation, nor is it likely to figure into European considerations regarding whether to designate the group a terror organization. The Jerusalem Post reported over the weekend that the latter consideration will turn on results of the investigation into the summer bombing of Israeli tourists in Burgas, Bulgaria.
