The Chief of Staff of the Israeli occupation army, General Aviv Kohavi, announced today, Sunday, the crystallization of thousands of targets that will be destroyed during the upcoming war in Lebanon, while Israeli media revealed that an Iranian attempt to launch an attack against Israeli targets inside Turkish territory had been thwarted last month.
Kohavi confirmed - in a statement published by the Israeli army - that the targets that will be hit in Lebanon include the command headquarters and the missile and missile system owned by Hezbollah.
He said that all targets associated with the missiles will be targeted in the next war, and any house in which a missile is located or located near a missile, an activist who deals with a missile, or a command headquarters that deals with a missile or electricity linked to a group of missiles;
All this network will be hit.
According to Kochavi, the occupation army deals with 6 battle fronts, and faces various threats, the most serious of which is the potential nuclear threat.
Kohavi's statements come in response to previous statements by Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah last Thursday, in which he said that the party is able to prevent Israel by force from extracting oil and gas from a sea area disputed with Lebanon.
Nasrallah said, "We are committed to the Lebanese people that the resistance is able to prevent the enemy from extracting oil and gas from the disputed Karish field," noting that all the measures of the Israeli enemy will not be able to protect the floating platform that it brought to extract gas.
Hezbollah - backed by Iran - possesses a large arsenal of weapons and missiles, and it fought several battles with the Israeli army, the last of which was in the summer of 2006, in addition to border skirmishes between the two sides from time to time.
thwarting an Iranian attack
In a related context, Israeli media said today, Sunday, that Israel thwarted last month an attempt to launch an attack against Israeli targets inside Turkish territory, which was planned by Iranian sides.
Last month, Tel Aviv issued a warning calling on Israelis not to travel to Turkey.
The Israeli "Mako" website reported that Turkish intelligence revealed a network of Iranian agents who were planning to strike Israeli targets inside Turkish territory. The website added that the Iranian network has been active in Turkey for more than a month.
The newspaper "Israel Today" reported that Israeli intelligence had allowed the publication of information a month ago that Israeli security officials had provided their counterparts in Turkey with information about the intention of Iranian elements to attack Israeli targets inside Turkish territory.
And the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation (Kan) reported - quoting security sources - that Tehran plans to harm Israeli tourists in Turkey, not just the official targets.
Following the assassination of Iranian Revolutionary Guards officer Hassan Sayyad Khodayi on May 25 by unknown assailants in Tehran, the Israeli Channel 12 said that 100 Israelis in Turkey were informed of the possibility of targeting them from Iran, and they were asked to return to Israel.
Tehran accused Tel Aviv of being behind the assassination of Colonel Khodaye.
Israeli media also published the names of Israeli businessmen who said they were on the Iranian target list.
