Head of the Counter-Terrorism Bureau in Israel, Brigadier-General Nitzan Nuriel, said Hizbullah owns drones and long-range missiles.
"Hizbullah has weapons that are not found in Europe," Nuriel said during a lecture at the annual conference of counter-terrorism in Herzliya, a city located on the central coast of Israel.
"Hizbullah has unmanned drones and missiles with a range of more than 300 km and so is the case of Hamas in Gaza," Nuriel added.
"There is a strong relationship between global terrorist organizations and terrorism taking place in Israel," he said.
Nuriel said terrorist organizations continue to get support and military assistance from countries like Syria. "Today, terrorist organizations have capabilities equal to States," he added. "If we are to fight terrorism, this requires an international will to combat the State which funds and supports terrorist organizations," Nuriel believed.
He said there are government sides in Syria which provides Hizbullah and Hamas with rockets.
"These sides are working hard to provide rockets for these organizations, and for this we send a clear message to Syria: next time you transfer missiles we will respond by destroying this government side," Nuriel warned.

Enough already. Go ahead and do it.
IMO, it is only a metter of hours before Israel goes to the ultimate solution.

Duh. It's what you damn well should have done -- in my mind, were strategically required to do -- during the 2006 Summer War. Instead you did exactly as your enemy wanted you to do, and got involved in an indecisive (losing, really) war with Lebanon; which, even if you had won, at great cost, would have amounted to the capture of a pawn.
