"Israel": Hizbullah Developed Drones, Missile Capabilities x10 since 2006 - Syria’s Advanced Chemical Weapons Might Reach Hizbullah

Local Editor

The head of the "Israeli" Army Military Intelligence research section Brig. Gen. Itay Baron warned that "some 3,500 missiles in Syria and Iran are currently aimed at "Israel"."

Addressing the Knesset Foreign Affairs and War Committee, Baron claimed that "Hizbullah is developing drones and sea-to-air missiles."
Baron told the Knesset committee that "Hizbullah, Hamas and Syria are all trying to find ways to undermine "Israel's" military and technological superiority to damage "Israel's" weak spot, the home front."

"All three are constructing military systems that would exhaust "Israel's" civilian populations, while augmenting their ability to absorb "Israeli" attacks by arming themselves with masses of rockets and missiles," the top "Israeli" official cautioned.

He further informed the MKs that "Hizbullah, while developing drones for offensive purposes, has already received sea-to-air and surface-to-air missiles, as well as explosives and camouflage equipment."

Baron added that "Iran has an arsenal of 450 missiles in striking distance of "Israel". Syria has 3,000 rockets and missiles, covering ranges from 70 to 700 kilometers."
"The missiles were not very precise, but the surface-to-air Russian-made defense systems were quite technologically advanced," he added.

Earlier in the day, "Israeli" War Force Deputy Chief of Staff Yair Naveh stated that "Hizbullah has some 60,000 rockets and missiles - 10 times what it had in the 2006 Second Lebanon War."
"We must shorten wartime as much as possible since many of the attacks target the "Israeli" home front," explained Naveh.

"To achieve this we must rely on precise strikes and ground missiles. Our goal is to target enemy weaponry infrastructures and the command and control headquarters supporting them in an extremely precise fashion," he added.

"Israeli" Deputy Army Chief of Staff Maj.-Gen. Yair Naveh expressed his fear that "Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is still in control of Syria's advanced weaponry, including its chemical weapons arsenal."

During his statement at the 2012 "Israeli" Conference on Air and Land Jointness, Naveh stated that "the missile, rocket and chemical capabilities are remarkably still under control by the current regime."


The Zionist top official claimed that "Damascus has spent $3 billion in recent years on advanced Russian surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems such as the SA-15, SA-17 and SA-22."

"These have already been transferred to the Syrians and may one day be transferred from Syria to Hizbullah," Naveh warned. "The existence of these systems creates a reality in which the "Israel" Air Force will need several hours to first deal with the air defense systems before turning to other missions."

He also claimed that "the proliferation of these system needs to concern not just "Israel", but also the entire world."

Naveh also said that "Hizbullah has today 60,000 rockets and missiles, including a number of M600s that have superior range and a high level of accuracy."

The "Israeli" military men warned of "the growing threat of Ground Positioning System (GPS) jammers throughout the region which could undermine the "Israeli" army's ability to accurately hit targets inside Lebanon, Gaza or Syria in a future war."

"The "IDF" is investing in accurate firepower from the air and precise munitions from the ground," he said.

He concluded that ""Israel" will need tens of thousands of precision guided munitions and will need to overcome GPS jamming."
