Hezbollah Presence in Syria A Big Threat to ‘Israel’
Local Editor
During visit to the Zionist entity, US military chief said that countering Iran is a top priority.
General Joseph Dunford, the US Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, said during a visit to the ‘Israeli'-occupied territories that Hezbollah's presence in southern Syria is a major threat to ‘Israel' because it "would give ‘Israel' two fronts to deal with".
The ‘Israelis' have been pressing the threat imposed by the presence of the Lebanese resistance movement, which Dunford said now fields a conventional force armed with missiles, rockets, artillery, armored vehicles and tanks.
This week's visit is Dunford's third to the Zionist entity, which he referred to as a close partner. He said coming to ‘Israel' "as a matter of routine is important."
Dunford told reporters that he met with Zionist military officials and discussed issues of mutual concern in the region, as well as about Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the presence of Daesh [the Arabic acronym for the Takfiri ‘ISIS/ISIL' group] in the tri-border area of Palestine, Syria and Jordan.
Dunford said dealing with the Iranian "threat network" must also take priority. The threat, according to him, includes the Iranian Revolutionary Guard al-Quds Force and the support it provides for Hezbollah.
