My Way News - Israel takes risk with airstrike on Hezbollah
My Way News reports: "Israel has opened a new front in its attempts to halt weapons smuggling
to Hezbollah, striking one of the group's positions inside Lebanon for
the first time since the sides fought a war eight years ago.
This week's airstrike, meant to prevent the Islamic militant group from
obtaining sophisticated missiles, is part of a risky policy that could
easily backfire by triggering retaliation. [...] Hezbollah rained some 4,000 rockets and missiles on Israel in 2006, mostly short-range, unguided projectiles. Israel believes the group now possesses 100,000 rockets and missiles. These include weapons with longer ranges, guidance systems and larger warheads, are capable of striking anywhere in Israel. The weapons come from Syria and Iran."
