Hezbollah possesses 10 times the power of Hamas, according to a retired IDF colonel.
BEIRUT — A Lebanese security official said six rockets were fired from southern Lebanon into northern Israel late Tuesday.
The officials said it was not clear who fired the rockets from the area of the Lebanese southern village of Qlaileh. He spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations. A statement from UNIFIL, the U.N. peacekeeping force in the south of Lebanon, also confirmed the rocket fire and urged “everyone to exercise restraint at this critical time.”Spokespeople with Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad said they had no information on the rockets.
Hezbollah possesses 10 times the power of Hamas, Miri Eisin, a political scientist and analyst and a retired colonel in the Israel Defense Forces, said Wednesday during an interview with the MSNBC program “Deadline White House.”
