Israel’s Home Front Defense Minister Matan Vilnai announced on Tuesday that the Jewish state will properly handle a possible war with Hizbullah, adding that the party greatly fears Israel.
He said while visiting the Israeli settlement of Kiryat Shmona: “The Home Front Defense Ministry is exerting great efforts and funds in preparing for the next war with Hizbullah.”
He revealed that he has appointed a team of experts in his ministry that will be responsible for setting up emergency divisions in all local institutions in case of the eruption of a war.
The war of words between Hizbullah and Israel has intensified in recent weeks in light of the revolts in the Arab world, especially in Syria.
Party chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah had declared that any war against Syria will lead to a war in the entire region.
