Israel Matzav: Good news: Hezbullah can hit Jerusalem

Good news: Hezbullah can hit Jerusalem

Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi said on Tuesday that some Hezbullah rockets have the potential to hit Jerusalem.

Hizbullah's missiles now have the capacity to reach Israel’s central region, including Jerusalem, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.Gen Gabi Ashkenazi said Tuesday in a briefing with the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. He also announced that a new operation designed to intercept Katyusha rockets is due to begin next year .

A small percentage of Hizbullah’s current arsenal of tens of thousands of missiles can reach almost 190 miles, Ashkenazi said, well over the distance from southern Lebanon to Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

A new operation? Maybe they mean a new anti-missile system? And what if Hezbullah decides not to wait until next year to try their rockets out?

/Sometimes our government seems nearly as clueless as Obama.
