As he threatened that an Israeli attack on Iran could destroy parts of Gaza and Lebanon, former Mossad Chief Danny Yatom said that the main concern in the coming war was not Iran but Hezbollah and Hamas rockets.

In an interview with the Israeli radio, Yatom warned about “the folly of painting an existential threat for Israel if it attacks Iran.”

He acknowledged the fact that the Islamic Republic possesses a few hundred missiles which can reach the Zionist entity but stated that the main concern should be the tens of thousands of rockets possessed by Hezbollah and Hamas.

He warned that these rockets have the range to "cover all of Israel, and that is the main problem."
Recognizing July War of 2006 Yatom said that if in the event of a war in the near future the Zionist entity "will have to stop the firing of missiles, both from the north and from the south, as quickly as possible."

In a cynical prediction of such an outbreak of war he said that “Israel will need to act with great force against infrastructure in Lebanon and Gaza, and it is possible that the price that Lebanon and Gaza will pay will be horrible."

The Zionist entity would be "liable to destroy, or likely to destroy, parts of Lebanon, and parts of Gaza, so that our citizens will not suffer and be killed," Yatom added.
