Israel Concerned About Precision Missiles Hajar Haifa

Former Israeli air force commander, Zvika Haimovich, stated that the war on the northern front would have a different intensity from what Israel witnessed in the first few weeks of the Gaza War.

Haimovich explained that Hezbollah’s drone infiltration crossed Israel’s northern border.

Regarding this, he emphasized that the last two incidents in the “Arbil” and Akka areas did not need to prove that Israel’s anti-air system was weak.

He added that there was a spirit of “common struggle against a common enemy” over Israel

“But this is the first time Israel has seen how powerful this enemy is,” he said.

Alert Al Mayadeen Israeli media reported today that Hezbollah has built up a huge arsenal of precision missiles over the past few years.

This threat has been warned by Israeli researchers. They estimate that Hezbollah might use these missiles to attack targets in Haifa Bay.

The Israeli researchers outlined that, from an operational perspective, when Hezbollah intends to conduct long-range combat on the Lebanese-Palestinian border, it will do so using short-range missiles because such attacks do not require high-precision weapons to cause serious damage.
