Yirmiyahu 1:14 Then the Lord said unto me: 'Out of the north the evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.

IS ISRAEL PREPARING FOR HEZBOLLAH

“As part of that Hezbollah is building terror tunnels under Israel’s territory. We’ve known that for several years, and a few days ago we tore the mask off, uncovered the first stone, and we’re going to uncover the rest, and basically deprive Iran of this weapon of aggression,” Netanyahu said.

Israel has started Operation Northern Shield for the named purpose of destroying Hezbollah attack tunnels. But how is this operation seen from the other side of the border?

Hezbollah deputy chief: "All of Israel in range of our rockets"

The deputy chief of the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah has warned that all of Israel, “even Tel Aviv,” is vulnerable to the organization’s immense arsenal of over 100,000 rockets.
In an interview published Saturday in the Arabic-language Iranian news outlet Al-Wefak, Hezbollah deputy secretary general Naim Qassem said, “The entire Israeli homefront is exposed, even Tel Aviv.”

“There is no point in the Zionist entity that is not in the range of Hezbollah’s rockets.”

“Even when they analyze and threaten, they say, ‘If Hezbollah attacks us’ they will react. [That is, they say] they won’t attack first. The rules of engagement that Hezbollah has created in Lebanon have made it very difficult for Israel to even consider launching a war against Lebanon.” timesofisrael

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Hezbollah sought to infiltrate “several battalions” into Israel — to seize territory, “murder and kidnap.” Hezbollah’s tunnels are “broader” than those of the Gaza-based Hamas terror group, the prime minister said. arutzsheva

Minister Yoav Galant:
”The IDF and Israel have fantastic technology and strong operational intelligence capabilities," claimed Galant. "We know Hezbollah's offensive tunnel plan. We discovered a second tunnel today and we'll discover more.”

Minister Galant, who called the tunnels a "ticking bomb," described a scenario that has become possible with the existence of the tunnels: "There is a Hezbollah military unit sitting inside Israel waiting to leave the tunnel, and when the light is given for their reasons, we will find it attacking some target. This is something that we cannot accept. Therefore, it was essential to launch the operation. These are tunnels that can penetrate dozens of people [into Israeli territory].” "We are peeling off one layer in Hezbollah's onion of terrorism - the layer of the tunnels," said the minister, adding, "This is one of the weapons it has recently prepared. We are taking down the tunnels without a price.” arutzsheva
