Hezbollah can destroy $150bn worth of Israeli assets: Report
The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah can hit and destroy as much as $150 billion worth of Israel’s economic and industrial assets in case Israel decides to enter a war with Lebanon, a report shows.
The Saturday report by Tasnim, a news agency close to Iran’s IRGC military force, said that Israel is heavily reliant on the economic and industrial infrastructure it has built over decades in the north of the occupied Palestine.
It said the regime has invested some $130 billion in the past 35 years to build 132 factories in an area which has some of the most fertile lands in the West Asia region because of its proper climate and its fresh water resources.
The area is viewed as the economic heart of Israel as it is responsible for 80% of the grain supply, some 40% of the meat supply and 70% of dairy supply to the inhabitants of the Israeli-occupied territories, said the report.
Any attack by Hezbollah on companies like Adom, a major meat supplier, and Tnuva, a large dairy company, would paralyze the food market in Israel, it said.
More than 60% of Israel’s oil refining and fuel production capacity is scattered around the port of Acre near the border with Lebanon which is responsible for processing the entire imports of energy carriers into the occupied territories.
That highly increases the vulnerability of Israel against any attack by Hezbollah as it could lead to massive number of deaths in a radius of 8 kilometers from Acre, said the report.
The report comes as Hezbollah has vowed it would retaliate against an Israeli airstrike on July 30 on a building in southern Beirut that killed the group’s top military commander Fuad Shukr.
