****BIRTH PANG WATCH**** Following reports of an IAF helicopter strike on Sunday that targeted a convoy of Lebanons Hezbollah operatives and killed 10, Hezbollah-run television in Lebanon indicated the incident could prompt a costly surge in tensions in the region. On Sunday evening, the al-Manar news channel said the attack suggested that the enemy has gone crazy because of Hezbollahs growing capabilities and it could lead to a costly adventure that will put the Middle East at stake. The helicopter strike killed a commander from Hezbollah and the son of the groups late military leader Imad Mughniyeh, Hezbollah said, in a major blow that could lead to reprisal attacks. The strike hit a convoy carrying Jihad Mughniyah and commander Mohamad Issa, known as Abu Issa, in the province of Quneitra, near the Golan Heights, killing six Hezbollah members in all, a statement from the group said.
