Very strange timing, Tel Aviv has been under fire for over a week.

Why the sudden warning? Have to wonder if there's something going on.

Dont have to wonder... it is a clear signal to smarten up. Kerry's so called "hot mike leak" was also a clear but indirect signal.

I wonder if it is a signal expecting escalation by both sides. Kerry's hot mike not withstanding.
