’Israeli’ Navy Source: Hizbullah Missile’s Possession Unprecedented…They Have Yakhont

Still Hizbullah’s nightmare continues to chase “Israel” and its military leadership.

A senior “Israel” Navy source warned Sunday, that “advanced weaponry, much of it supplied by Iran, is flowing into Syria and Lebanon.”

“The Navy is spending a large chunk of its operational time dealing with advanced weapon smuggling, according to the source,” who added, “Such weapons pose a challenge to all Western navies in the area.”
He said the northern front has become unified, and that Lebanon and Syria cannot be viewed as separate entities anymore.
“What happens in Syria, happens in Lebanon [in terms of weapons availability], and vice versa. I’ll go a step further and say that everything that happens in Iran can end up in Syria, which can then end up in Lebanon,” the source stated. “In the event of war with Hizbullah in Lebanon, I’m not sure Syria will remain on the sidelines. Hizbullah assists the Assad regime, and the help is mutual.”

Describing the quantity and quality of surface-to-sea missiles in Hizbullah’s possession as “unprecedented,” the source said there are dozens of such weapons in its keeping, covering around 10 different kinds of such missiles.

“The types of warheads and their ranges are many,” said the source. “We are in a completely different situation. The sector has changed.”

The source claimed that he assumed Hizbullah is in possession of the Yakhont guided anti-ship missile.

“They can fire it at military headquarters in Tel Aviv,” he said, noting that such missile has a 300 kilometer range, according to the source.
“It is very fast. It has unusual capabilities. It can fly at a very high altitude, or a low one, depending on the variation,” he said.

In parallel, the “Israeli” source warned that Iran continues to develop its own weapons, copying the arms of other states, and it smuggles them to its allies and proxies in Syria and Lebanon.
“In Hizbullah’s view, the naval arena is becoming central,” the source continued, and “the organization’s chief, [His Eminence Sayyed] Hassan Nasrallah is planning offensive moves against “Israel” in the next clash, rather than just waging a lengthy war of attrition.”
“The gas rigs, which will form most of “Israel’s” electricity supply, are attractive targets for Hizbullah,” the “Israeli” navy source cautioned.

The navy is setting up layers of defense around them, including antimissile defenses on ships and underwater defenses.”Additional ships for this task are a must,” the source said.
