- I have to admit that as an Israeli,

this is not the only frontthat I'm I'm concerned of.

I look north and I seeLebanon and I see Hezbollah.

- [Chris] Counter-terrorismexpert Boaz Ganor tells CBN News

Hezbollah and it's estimated150 to 200,000 missiles

represents a far greaterthreat than Hamas.

- If you asked me whatconcerns me with Hezbollah,

everything that concernsme with Hamas but big time,

much more than what we had.

- [Chris] After studying the recent war,

Ganor believes Hezbollahwould try to overwhelm

Israel's number onedefense, the Iron Dome.

Ganor also points out Hezbollah,

possesses not just rockets, but missiles.

- What's the difference betweena missile than a rocket?

A missile is a guided rocket.

You can guide it, you candirect it to the targets.

So they have guided missileswith much much bigger warheads,

and they cover all theterritory of Israel,

they can launch rocketsfrom Lebanon and hit Eilat

which is the most Southern part of Israel.

- [Chris] CBN News has reportedon Hezbollah's facilities

inside Beirut that convert itsrockets into guided missiles.

It's all part of a multi-billiondollar Iranian project.

- Iran have built this enormouscapability for one purpose

and in my view, one purpose only

to deter Israel from attacking military,

attacking the nuclear facilities

that they build in Iran.

- [Chris] Ganor, like mostIsraelis takes Iran at its word

regarding the desire to eradicate Israel

- They're saying that loud and clear.

Once they can meet their ideological goals

with practical capabilities,like a nuclear bomb,

that's an existential threat to Israel,

bear in mind how small Israel,

Israel cannot absorb onenuclear bomb and recover.

- [Chris] Ganor says Hezbollah represents

an unprecedented challenge to Israel

and that any war against it

would dwarf the recentconflict with Hamas.

- I believe that Hesbollahwould cause much more damage

and much more casualtiesin the numbers of hundreds

if not thousands.

In that case, no doubt in my mind

that the Israeli governmentand the Israeli military

and the Israeli public wouldexpect the Israeli government

to do whatever they can

in order to prevent thoseatrocities against Israel

in a much lesser restrictivemanner than Israel

than in Gaza.

- While the US seeks to reenterthe Iranian nuclear deal

the chief of the UN nuclear watchdog says

Iran is now enriching uranium

at levels only reached bycountries seeking atomic weapons.

As that clock speeds up,

it could be just a matter of time

until Israel sees thisNorthern border threat

come to fruition.
