Hizballah’s Threat to Regional Security

Hizballah’s Threat to Regional Security

March 16, 2003 | Col. (res.) Dr. Eran Lerman
Hizballah is an international terrorist organization that has been killing Americans and other Westerners for decades. Indeed, Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage said if al-Qaeda is the B-team of terrorism, Hizballah is the A-team. Hizballah has a very large capability to do harm throughout northern Israel, with hundreds of Grad missiles, dozens of short-range missiles like the "Fajar 3" and "Fajar 5," and longer-range rockets of Iranian make that can reach 40-70 km.

Meeting the “Depth Threat” from Iraq: The Origins of Israel’s Arrow System

March 5, 2003 | Dr. Uzi Rubin
During the Iran-Iraq war, Iraq's use of El-Hussein missiles, an upgraded Scud with a range of 600 km., meant they could reach not only Teheran but Tel Aviv - and we realized we had no way to stop them. The soul of any missile defense system is not the missile; it is the radar, its main sensor.

Deterrence in the Era of Terrorism and Non-Conventional Weaponry

February 9, 2003 | Dan Meridor
Throughout its history, Israel has built a conventional army that has been quite successful and has served as a deterrent to those who sought to attack it. The neighboring Arab governments and armies know from their experience in the wars of 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973, and 1982 that it is very difficult to win a war against Israel on the battlefield.
