According to estimates by the Israeli military intelligence division “Aman”, tonight, Tuesday, “Hezbollah” will launch a series of limited battles on the border with Israel, for the first time since the second war against Lebanon in July 2006.
The Hebrew newspaper “Israel Hayom” reported, tonight, Tuesday, that Israeli estimates indicate that “Hezbollah” has not abandoned the concept of responding to Israeli attacks, and although it has failed twice in recent months to respond to the carnage of Lebanese. activists in Syria, is still determined to respond.
The newspaper noted that the “Aman” division’s assessment establishes that there is a state of concern among Israeli army personnel about the presence of dozens and possibly hundreds of precise missiles in the possession of “Hezbollah”, and that the Israeli response does not will stop at the time of deploying the batteries of the defense system “Iron Dome.” Other defensive alternatives must be sought.
The newspaper quoted a senior Israeli official: “Israel is dealing with any missile threat from Hezbollah, be it overt or covert.”
In a related context, the Israeli army began on Tuesday to carry out military exercises on the Lebanese borders with its country, and will continue until tomorrow Wednesday afternoon. The military called the training “an electrical storm.”
Avichai Adrai, the IDF spokesman, posted a new tweet on his official Twitter account, in which he confirmed that the objective of the maneuvers was to continue “the IDF’s activities to improve its preparation on the border with Lebanon, based on its mission to defend the citizens of the north. “
On the details of the maneuver, Adraei wrote: “The border area with Lebanon will witness an active movement of the security forces, and a series of barricades will be deployed on some roads that are not closed.”
He continued: “The thunderstorm will examine what has been learned through the outcome of some of the events that occurred on the borders last summer. Forces will also train in a number of scenarios including ‘combat day’ scenarios. .
On Monday, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz threatened the Lebanese with paying a “high price” for any looming military confrontation with their country.
This came in a speech he made during the commemoration ceremony of the “helicopter disaster”, which in 1997 killed 73 Israeli soldiers and officers after two Israeli helicopters collided in southern Lebanon.
“Three and a half years after that disaster, we left Lebanon … Since then, we have repeatedly made it clear that we will not allow Hezbollah and the Iranians to turn Lebanon into a state of terror,” Gantz said.
