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.



Group holds rally after rocket fired from Gaza Strip lands in Sderot


The spokesman of Hamas’s military branch threatens Israel that calm from Gaza will cease if the blockade of the Strip continues.
Speaking at a military show in the town of Rafah in southern Gaza, Abu Obieda, spokesperson for Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, says, “The siege will not prevent the Qassam Brigades from developing its abilities, and shall not serve the the continuance of the state of calm.”
“Whoever plants the anger will reap a volcano,” the Hamas spokesperson warns.
Gaza-based Salafi group Aknaf Beit al-Maqdis claims responsibility for a rocket fire from the Gaza Strip earlier today which landed in the southern Israeli city of Sderot.
The rocket, the first fired from the Strip since early July, caused no injuries or damage, police said.
In response, the IDF struck two “Hamas terror bases” in the northern Gaza strip. Two Palestinian men were lightly injured by shrapnel, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
