Hezbollah Threatens to Invade Israel, Destroy Jewish State

Sunday, August 21, 2016 |  Israel Today Staff

A top Hezbollah leader this month said that the Lebanese terrorist militia is now capable of not only firing missiles at Israel, but can also launch a ground invasion of the Jewish state.

“Israel is closer than ever before to its demise,” Lebanese cleric Hashem Safieddine, head of Hezbollah’s Executive Council, said in an interview with Mayadeen TV.

Asked by the host if Hezbollah had the capability of waging a ground war on Israeli soil, Safieddine insisted that it did.

“Even more than that. We have that capability,” stated Safieddine, prompting the host to wonder, “Even further than the Galilee?”

“We have that capability. Of course,” replied Safieddine, suggesting that Hezbollah believes itself capable of penetrating deep into the heart of Israel.
