Hizbullah remains the most serious conventional threat ‘Israel' is facing, more than Hamas or Iran, a report released Monday by the so-called Institute for National ‘Security' Studies [INSS] determined. 

Hizbullah Remains Most Serious Threat to ‘Israel’

According to the report, submitted to Zionist President Rivlin by INSS head Maj. Gen. [res.] Amos Yadlin, Hizbullah has rockets that can reach any range, precision-guided missiles, attack and suicide drones, the best Russian-made air defense systems and ground units that are training to conquer ‘Israeli'-occupied towns and cities.

The INSS recommended to improve ‘Israeli' intelligence gathering in an effort to continue reducing the transfer of advanced arms to Hizbullah and consequently reduce the chances of an escalation.

However, the potential for the eruption of a conflict with Hamas is higher than with Hizbullah or Iran.

Hamas, the INSS determined, may have been deterred after the 2014 Operation Protective Edge in Gaza, but it is continuing to build up its strength.

Regarding Iran, the INSS noted that while the nuclear agreement signed with world powers does give ‘Israel' a window of opportunity in the short term, Tehran is strengthening its conventional capabilities.

In the medium and long term, Iran will become much more dangerous and enjoy international legitimization for a broad and unrestrained nuclear program.

The INSS report detailed three significant challenges the Zionist entity will face on the long term: an enemy state having nuclear capabilities; the creation of a "one-state for two people" reality in ‘Israel'; and the erosion of ‘Israel's' international status.

Maj. Gen. [res.] Yadlin noted that a window of opportunity has opened that would allow ‘Israel' to handle these challenges: The incoming pro-‘Israel' Trump administration in the US; ‘Israel's' shared interests with the pragmatic Arab nations; and adopting a bottom-up approach to dealing with the Palestinians, in cooperation with world and regional powers.

The INSS stressed that the direct conventional threat to ‘Israel' remained significantly low, but that Hizbullah is growing stronger.
