IDF Intelligence Chief: Israel Facing Increasing Risks from Iran, Hizbullah
[Ynet News] Ronny Sofer - IDF Intelligence Chief Amos Yadlin presented the 2007 Intelligence Assessment to the government Sunday and said that Israel was surrounded by greater risks than in years past. He said Iran is one of the most extreme forces in the region, as a financer of local terror groups such as Hizbullah. He also said, "The Syrians are building up their military strength, but the odds of a full-scale war launched by Syria - like the Yom Kippur or the Six-Day War - are low." Mossad Chief Meir Dagan said, "Hizbullah is building up its military force, including a renewal and upgrading of its systems, and is simultaneously strengthening its political power in the Lebanese government."
