While much of Israel, with the assistance of the nation’s media, has been embroiled in the judicial reform debate, defense strategists are busy trying to assess the severity of the threat posed by the Iranian-backed terror group Hezbollah.
Recent belligerent actions from Hezbollah on the Lebanese border, including incursions into Israel, along with incendiary rhetoric from Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, have made it necessary to strategize what a worst-case scenario would look like if conflict were to break out.
According to a report in the daily Israel Hayom, military officials predict that enemies in the first few days of a war with Hezbollah would fire as many as 6,000 rockets into Israel, resulting in blackouts and hundreds of deaths.
They also predict it could be a multi-front war with Hamas and Islamic Jihad participating from the Gaza Strip, and terror operations in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) directed at Israeli citizens, which would necessitate roadblocks.
At the beginning of summer, Aharon Haliva, head of Military Intelligence for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) cautioned, “The chances of an escalation that could spiral into war are not low. Nasrallah is close to making a mistake that could plunge the region into a big war. He is close to making this mistake from Lebanon or Syria.”
Experts reckon Hezbollah’s missile arsenal contains between 150,000 and 250,000 rockets, and Nasrallah has boasted the Iranian proxy can reach anywhere in Israel.
