Iran holder på å bygge en  flyplass i Sør-Libanon, bare to mil fra den israelske grensen, sier forsvarsminister Yoav Gallant. Flystripen ligger i Qalaat Jabbour-fjellene.

“In the pictures, you can see the Iranian flag flying over the runways, from which the ayatollah regime plans to operate against the citizens of Israel,” Gallant says.

Gallant uttalte seg på en årlig sikkerhetskonferanse i Herzliya.

In other words: The land is Lebanese, the control is Iranian, and the target is Israel,” Gallant says.

“If it comes to a conflict, we will not hesitate to activate the lethal force of the IDF. Hezbollah and Lebanon will pay heavy and painful prices,” he warns.

Israel har gjentatte gnager bombet iranske mål i Syria. Nå kryper trusselen nærmere og det kan se ut om det går mot en showdown.
