Minister: Hezbollah has over 200,000 rockets - Enough to fire on Israel for 3 weeks

Hezbollah has over 200,000 missiles capable of hitting any spot in the country, Home Front Defense Minister Gilad Erdan said Tuesday.

"According to an IDF worst-case scenario, Israel could find itself under attack from thousands of rockets that could last three weeks," he said at a conference at Bar-Ilan University, according to Israel Radio. "The Hezbollah organization has over 200,000 missiles capable of hitting any house in Israel."

He added that within several weeks, the Knesset would pass a defense bill and noted that he had concluded with the defense minister that Homefront Command would be responsible for protective measures, hazardous materials and disseminating information.

Also speaking at Bar-Ilan, IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz said that Israel's future wars could feature an array of new threats.
