“Iran manages a war against Israel by means of proxies such as Hezbollah, which today represents the most serious threat to Israel … The Iranians have so far transferred around a billion dollars each year to Hezbollah and we estimate that this will increase. They also try to transfer tens of millions of dollars to Hamas each year.” (IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot speaking to the INSS conference, 18/01/2016)
