BICOM senior visiting fellow Brig. Gen. (Res.) Michael Herzog: “Israel’s concern is focussed on strategic weapons falling into the hands of Hezbollah… and finding their way to Lebanon. And we are talking about chemical weapons, ground to ground missiles, ground to air missiles and other sophisticated weapons which could fall into Hezbollah’s hands and tip the balance in Lebanon.

“Could you imagine Hezbollah, the people who are conducting with Iran all these terror attacks around the world – could you imagine them having chemical weapons? It would be like al Qaida having chemical weapons. It’s something that is not acceptable to us, not acceptable to the United States and to any peaceable country in the world. So I think that this is something we’ll have to act to stop if the need arises. And the need might arise if there’s a regime collapse, but not a regime change.”

Exactly 18 years to the day after the horrendous attack on the Jewish Community Center in Argentina, deadly Iranian terrorism continues to strike at innocent people. This is a global Iranian terror onslaught and Israel will react firmly to it.”
