Hezbollah taunts Olmert, Peretz
Shia militants of Hezbollah put up giant posters of Israel’s embattled leadership at the Lebanese border yesterday, taunting it over the resignation calls resulting from last year’s war.
The images of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defence Minister Amir Peretz were erected on a large hoarding only 1km from the Israeli border town of Metulla.
The picture of Peretz was an Israeli press photograph from February that showed him watching war games at the Lebanese border through binoculars that still had their black lens caps on.“Is Peretz blind or using inadequate equipment?” said the legend.
Israeli newspapers carried similarly mocking captions when they ran the photograph on February 22, ridiculing the defence minister, a former trade union boss, for his lack of military experience.
“The outlook is dark for Peretz,” joked top-selling daily Yediot Aharonot.
