Benjamin Natanyahu the Prime Minister of Israel has pointed accusing fingers at Iran in connivance with its Lebanese ally Hezbollah for the bombings of Israeli embassies in India and Georgia,the bombings were targeted at staffs but fortunately no one was killed but four people were wounded in the blasts which took place on Monday.
In the New Delhi bomb blast which wrecked a diplomatic vehicle had the wife of Israel’s defence attache and her driver wounded.
The Tbilisi bomb was defused safely by Georgian police.
Israel had put its foreign missions on especially high alert ahead of the Feb. 12 anniversary of the assassination, in 2008, of the military mastermind of Lebanon’s Hezbollah guerrillas, Imad Moughniyeh.
Iranian-backed Hezbollah had vowed to avenge Moughniyeh’s death in a Damascus car-bombing, blaming it on the Jewish state.
Israel is also believed to be locked in a wider covert war with Iran, whose nuclear programme has been beset by sabotage, including the unclaimed killings of several scientists.
Iran, which stands behind these attacks, is the largest exporter of terror in the world. The Israeli government and security forces will continue to act together with local security services against these acts of terror.
We will continue to act systematically, with determination and forcefully against international terror emanating from Iran,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
There was no immediate comment from Tehran or Beirut.
The New Delhi blast took place some 500 metres from the official residence of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Georgian police prevented a similar incident, defusing a bomb found in a car of an Israeli embassy staff member. Thailand said last month it had arrested a Lebanese man who had links with Hezbollah and a confiscated cache of explosives.
Israel responded by urging its citizens to exercise caution while visiting Thailand.
