Lebanon Will Become Refugee State in Next Hezbollah

Lebanon will
become a "state of refugees" from which it will be
difficult to recover if there is another war between
Israel and Hezbollah, a senior IDF intelligence
general said Wednesday.
"The situation in the next conflict will be
completely different. We are stronger than we have
ever been and are able to deal with any threat,"
said the head of IDF Military Intelligence,
Maj.-Gen. Herzi Halevi.
Speaking at the 16th Annual Herzliya Conference,
Halevi stated that while Israel is not interested in
another armed conflict with the Lebanese Shi'ite
terror group, the Jewish state is "more prepared
than ever" for such an event.
"Never in history have we had an enemy that we know
more about," he added.
When addressing the question of how the next
northern border conflict would look, Halevi replied:
"The next conflict in the North will be different
from Operation Protective Edge and also from past
wars such as the Yom Kippur War."
Turning to the topic of Iran, Halevi stated, "In the
next wars, the majority of weapons that will attack
Israel will be Iranian products."
The military intelligence chief also said that "Iran
is leading the way in cyber warfare and aiding
Hezbollah on that front."
He also addressed changes in strategic alliances in
the Middle East between Israel and other moderate
countries.
"Part of the strategies of the pragmatic Sunni
nations are becoming closer to our own," he said.
"Saudi Arabia is not the same country we once saw
just a year and a half ago, they have a new king and
are leading the Sunni camp in the Middle East. Saudi
Arabia is implementing vast reforms in order to move
the country away from their oil dependent economy."
Halevi, describing the purpose of intelligence,
stated: "It is to describe the enemy, to tell the
story and a slightly newer second purpose - to
influence reality. The struggle between wars to
restrain the building of power of the enemy is a
type of influence that we greatly invest in and to a
large degree we are very successful."
Israeli and international policy-makers and analysts
gathered for the 16th Annual Herzliya Conference,
convened by the Interdisciplinary Center's Institute
for Policy and Strategy in Herzliya. The three-day
conference kicked off on Tuesday, the conference is
focused on raising central issues and promoting
public discourse on issues that affect Israel on
both domestic and international fronts. |
