“Israeli” Navy Commander: Hezbollah Threatening Us from and under the Sea

Hezbollah’s phobia is governing the “Israeli” entity’s military circles.

In a new show of fear, the outgoing commander of the “Israel” Navy's Haifa base, Brig. Gen. Gil Aginsky cautioned that Hezbollah wants to attack “Israel” from the sea, and is developing capabilities that will allow it to do so in a future conflict.

In an interview with 'Israel' Hayom, Aginsky cited the tension on the northern border and the threats Hezbollah has been making.

"The challenge we are grappling with is twofold – from the sea, and from under the sea. On the water, we know how to deal with any scenario, including some very complicated ones. When it comes to the underwater sphere, we are in the process of arming ourselves and dealing with a challenge that is unique to us," Aginsky said.

He further feared: "We're talking about a 'blue tunnel.' You can blow up every terror tunnel under the Gaza Strip, but our tunnel is enormous. The basic assumption is that Hezbollah wants to infiltrate [“Israel”] via the sea. They aren't there to grow flowers. They intend to prevent us from being here, and if they can execute that intention from the sea, they will.

"Our job is to prevent that. We are holding onto the northern border fast and covering the entire zone," Aginsky said, cautioning that “The threat still exists, and it is significant, but we are looking to protect 'Israel's' gas rigs, above all else. If Hezbollah wants to cause strategic damage, it will try to attack the rigs, but if it hits a ship along the way, it won't be sorry. In the end, the ship's goal is to protect the rig.”
