Officials Say Hezbollah To Attack Israeli Air Force Planes

Jerusalem – Israeli security officials believe that Hezbollah will focus its efforts on attacking IAF aircraft in Lebanese skies.

Hezbollah’s current weaponry cannot attack airborne Israeli forces; however, it has begun equipping itself with more modern weaponry, capable of attacking those targets

The Bulletin has obtained an Israeli security analysis, indicating the organization will attempt to attack Israel over an issue that has broad credibility in Lebanese, such as the Israel Defense Forces’ violations of Lebanese sovereignty by air by sea.

“Hezbollah does not want to take the risk of an Israeli reaction, while on the other hand it is becoming stronger,” said Israeli security officials.

This factor IAF planes could be an appropriate target for them.
