«Israel» Upgrades Navy to Counter Hezbollah Rockets

Local Editor

Out of fear from Hezbollah's growing abilities, the "Israeli" Navy will include extra "Iron Dome" missile launchers on its Sa'ar 6 missile ships being manufactured in Germany.

The four Sa'ar ships were designed to feature an iron dome missile launcher, but they will now have two iron dome pods each, the Jerusalem Post reported. Hezbollah has amassed a growing stockpile of rockets and long-range rounds that put some of the "Israeli" entity's "offshore assets" within firing range.

"Because of this growing threat, we're adding another [iron dome] launcher on the Sa'ar 6," an "Israeli" war official told Defense News. Both cannons will be able to fire up to 20 Tamir interceptors, the official added.

According to Defense News, the iron domes are specifically designed for cheap, disruptive rockets Hezbollah could launch from Lebanon. Nonetheless, the last-minute design change is likely to extend the expected delivery timeline.

A recent op-ed in Haaretz contended that Hezbollah is the "Israeli" entity's "real threat."

Contributor Moshe Arens further wrote that Hezbollah's capability comprises "the greatest challenge" facing the "Israeli" Occupation Force [IOF] and its commanders.

The "Israeli" entity believes Hezbollah maintains a stockpile of at least 100,000 missiles, according to the Jerusalem Post.

"Israeli" military companies had begun testing sea-based drones to patrol regional waters and rain down high-powered missiles against land and naval targets.
