Tel Aviv Military Officials: Hizbullah 200, 000 Missiles Can Target Any Point in “Israel”

The so-called "Israeli" "Homeland" Minister Gilad Erdan claimed that Hizbullah has 200,000 rockets and missiles pointed at the Zionist entity.

He further revealed that a rocket and missile program will be set up within three months for around 30 percent of "Israel" that remains vulnerable to such attacks.

"Around 30 percent of "Israel" is vulnerable to attacks," Erdan said, and pointed out that "in any "Israeli" scenario of a full-scale war, the "Israeli" home front will be pounded by thousands of rockets for up to three weeks, and that every point in "Israel" could be targeted by Hizbullah."

"One out of every 10 homes in Lebanon has a rocket launcher or weapons stored in it," Erdan claimed. "They plan homes there so that the roof opens up and closes for rocket launchers to fire."

He further highlighted that Hizbullah's accurate missile stockpile is growing, and "the organization will seek to target the most painful places for "Israel", such as national infrastructure sites, natural gas facilities, electricity production centers, and other installations we all need to function continuously."

"Our enemies want to break the spirit of "Israelis", and get them to stop believing that we can have a normal life here," he added.

In parallel, the "Israeli" top commander said the level of the threat called for a radically new way of thinking on how to repel it.
"We need to create a mechanism to allow the continuous functionality of the home front, and not to return to scenes of the Second Lebanon War of 2006," Erdan said. "No other country is facing the threat we are today," he added.

Moreover, he mentioned that there exists an intolerable gap... "We need to set up an infrastructure," he said, hinting that the measures will be mandatory, like car safety features.
"This will be no less than a revolution. We have to set minimal standards for protection," Erdan said.

Earlier, Giora Eiland, former head of the so-called "Israeli" "National Security Council", said that "Israel" should reject the idea that it must fight against "terrorist" guerrilla organizations embedded in civilian areas, and return to the idea that it is fighting enemy states.

This, he said, would add to "Israeli" deterrence and cut short any future conflicts.
"In 2006, we tried to do something impossible by hitting rocket launchers. If tomorrow there's a third Lebanon war, the result will be worse if we try to do the same thing. We and Hizbullah have improved tactically. The result will be damage to us that is so big that we'll be unsure we accomplished anything the day after the dust settles," he cautioned.

"Hizbullah, Syria, nor Iran, nor the Americans want to see destruction of Lebanon. If war does break out, treating Lebanon as an enemy would end the conflict in three days, not three weeks," he said.
Eiland also stressed that "it's not right for us to accept the idea of fighting low-intensity counter-terrorism conflicts. We should move to an interstate conflict system."
