"Israeli" War Minister Avigdor Lieberman warned that the apartheid entity's northern fronts are severely unprepared for war.

Lieberman: We’re Not Prepared for Next War with Hezbollah

"The better [preparedness] is in the South, in the area around the Gaza Strip. The worst situation is in the North," he said at a conference organized by Yediot Aharonot.

Lieberman further said that since the Second Lebanon War in 2006, the government has invested some NIS 1.7 billion [$485 million] in facilities in southern "Israel" around the Gaza Strip, where some 46,000 settlers exist.

"In other words, we invested 37 times more in the Gaza perimeter than in the North," Lieberman said. He said the expenditure imbalance was despite the strength, range and quantities of weapons in the hands of Hezbollah, which differ significantly from those used by Hamas.

"Since I became ‘defense' minister, I have held 52 meetings and discussions on the issue of protecting the home front. I can do another 48 and that will not change the situation," he said. Lieberman has been in his position since May 2016.

In November, Lieberman accused the "Israeli" Finance Ministry of stalling in funding implementation of a 2014 government decision to increase protection, especially for settlements in the North.

According to "Israeli" reports, the northern border has seen relative quiet since the 2006 war, but the army sees it as the most explosive, nonetheless. It believes the next war in the North will not be limited to one front, but involve the entire northern border with both Lebanon and Syria.

The "Israeli" army also expects that during the next war with Hezbollah, the party will try to bring the fight to the home front by infiltrating "Israeli" settling units.
