In an interview with Israeli broadcaster Kan 11, Reserve General Itzhak Brik said Hezbollah represents a greater danger than Hamas. 

When asked about war on the northern front, Brik said it is 'unrealistic'. According to the Israeli General, those who wish to wage war against Hezbollah forget that it is a much greater danger than Hamas.

"They possess 150,000 rockets, thousands of rockets will be fired daily toward settlements, water and power stations, airports, and much more. The entire region will be involved as well - the war would transcend to a regional one, and the West Bank will explode." 

He added that "Israel" would witness internal uproars from different Resistance factions, and Yemen and Iran would join the frontlines, emphasizing that the occupation is not ready for anything of the sort.

'Existence or obliteration'

Earlier this month, Brik revealed that "Israel" finds itself in the face of a major existential threat. 

In an article published in the Israeli Maariv newspaper, he that the Israeli occupation "faces an existential threat," and he believed that "it is time to change its leadership."

According to the military official, this "threat will be of a magnitude similar to a nuclear bomb but without a nuclear fallout," explaining that it would see "250,000 missiles, rockets, artillery shells, and drones threatening Israel from all sides, launched by Iran and its proxies in the upcoming regional war towards the Israeli home front at a rate of thousands of missiles and drones per day."

"The precision missiles produced by our enemies, with explosive heads weighing hundreds of kilograms each, and their production rate is astonishing," he said. "Within a few years, they will have tens of thousands of precision missiles and drones, a latent destructive force that could destroy Israel today, and certainly more than that in the coming years."

The security threats and challenges facing "Israel", summarized by Brik, represent "existence or obliteration" for the occupation, requiring preparation for them, according to Brik, "a new military and political leadership to lead the process of building resilience in the face of the most challenging security threat we have ever faced."
