Israel Expects 2,000 Rockets a Day in Any War with Hizbullah
[An Nahar] Israel does not want war with Hizbullah... Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistanceand purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... but is prepared to face about 2,000 rockets a day if conflict breaks out, a senior Israeli military official told AFP.In May this year, the Israeli army fought an 11-day war against Paleostinian gangs in the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

The person or persons unknow weren't Hezbollah, you can bet on that. Really. Even though there was an international tribunal that said it was them...-- but over the course of around a month -- the Israeli army said. In May, cities like Tel Aviv and Ashdod experienced the "highest number of fire towards them in the history of Israel", said Uri Gordin, chief of the army's Home Front Command. "We saw a pace of more than 400 rockets fired towards Israel on a daily basis." He said that in the case of "conflict or a war with Hizbullah, we expect more than five times the number of rockets fired every day from Lebanon to Israel". "Basically we are looking between 1,500 and 2,500 rockets fired daily towards Israel," he told AFP. Posted by: Fred 2021-10-19 |
