Israel’s 9/11 — The Danger of Hezbollah: Rockets, Evacuees and the Risk of War

Since Hamas brutally murdered 1,200 Israelis and others on Oct. 7 and kidnapped more than 240, Hezbollah and Israel have battled along the Lebanese border, trading missiles and airstrikes but so far avoiding all-out war. The threat, however, has forced Israelis to evacuate from the northern border, and the risk of fighting on the scale of the 2006 war seems to be rising. Assessing the danger and the impact on Israelis in the north during CIE’s 22nd weekly webinar March 13 are retired IDF Maj. Gen. Yaacov Ayish of the Jewish Institute for National Security of America, Anat Shapira of the Institute for National Security Studies and Dr. Eyal Zisser of Tel Aviv University. Moderating the discussion is Dr. Ken Stein, CIE’s president and an Emory University emeritus professor of Middle East history, political science and Israel studies.
