A senior official in the Israeli occupation army revealed the number of missiles that the military authorities in Tel Aviv expect to launch daily by the Lebanese Hezbollah, if a war breaks out between the two sides.
Israeli General Uri Gordin said in an interview with Agence France-Presse that Israel does not seek war with Hezbollah, but expects to be targeted with 2,000 missiles per day if an armed conflict erupts between the two sides.
In the last Israeli aggression on Gaza in May, which lasted for 11 days, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and the resistance factions in the Gaza Strip fired a total of about 4,400 missiles towards Israeli sites.
That is, at a greater rate compared to the last war that took place in 2006 with Hezbollah, when a similar number of rockets were launched from Lebanese territory, but within a month, according to the Israeli army.
Gordin - who is the commander of the Israeli home front - explained that cities such as Tel Aviv and Ashdod were targeted with "the largest number of missiles" ever since the establishment of Israel.
home front
The Israeli Home Front was formed in 1992, and it is charged with defending Israel, that is, it is responsible for preparing the country to face threats, conflicts and disasters.
In 2006, the Home Front Command was criticized for its response to the war with the Lebanese Hezbollah, which left more than 1,200 dead on the Lebanese side and 160 on the Israeli side, most of them soldiers.
This war constituted a "warning bell" for the Home Front Command, which has since reinforced the liaison units that are now deployed in 250 Israeli municipalities, in order to provide relief in the event of attacks.
