Israeli analyst Ely Karmon, researcher at the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT) in Herzliya, analyzed the situation in Gaza, as reported by the Argentine defense technical magazine DEF online and called for the dismantling of Hamas military forces in the area. According to the strategic expert, Israel should aim to destroy the military power of Hamas and allow the Palestinian National Authority to regain control of Gaza with Egypt's support.
The Israeli academic also warned about the other open front in the Middle East, based on Iran's involvement in the destabilization of the region and the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah. “Hezbollah constitutes a major force with experience in military combat. In the event of a military conflict, that force will be used to weaken Israel. This is very important from a strategic point of view" . "The fact that Iran has decided to arm Hezbollah with sophisticated precision missiles threatens not only the civilian population, but also strategic military and civilian objectives on Israeli territory" says Karmon.
Furthermore, he underlines a reference to the "very active" role of Hezbollah in Argentina and Latin America in general in the past, especially after the attacks on the Israeli embassy and AMIA in the 90s. “Hezbollah helped the Venezuelan regime and also carried out illicit activities in the Triple Border, in Iquique (Chile) and in Colombia" the analyst underlined. It was following these events that the Argentine government considered this group as a "terrorist organization" and the action of Argentine and Paraguayan judges and prosecutors was equally validated against those linked to Hezbollah.
