Arutz Sheva: Nasrallah to use dirty bombs?

If this happens, it will really illustrate the folly of past and contemplated future withdrawals:
Unlike leaders of other terror groups, Nasrallah is known for speaking in plain language and following up on his threats soon after they are made. Just hours after threatening to bombard Haifa last week, Katyusha rockets began raining on Israel’s northernmost metropolis.

With regard to additional surprises, London's MI6 reports that Hizbullah may be planning to fire "dirty bombs" with spent nuclear rods enclosed in the nose cones of rockets, according to WorldNetDaily's Aaron Klein.

I don't think the radioactivity unleashed from a dirty bomb represents anything remotely close to the threat posed by a real nuclear weapon, but it would be an incredible step to take for a proxy of Iran. I wonder what Israel's actual anti-missile capability is at the moment. (Hat Tip: BTB)
