During my recent listener tour of Israel , we toured Israeli military outposts along the Lebanese border and spoke with officers who believe the question isn’t whether there will be another war with Hezbollah, but when.

The Shi’ite terrorist group has blatantly violated UN Resolution 1701 and amassed huge arsenals of Iranian-purchased weaponry, including at least 40,000 Katyusha rockets, some of them perhaps now armed with chemical warheads.

When considering this murderous jihadist band—the same group that slaughtered more than 260 US Marines in Beirut —it’s important to understand their motivation. Hezbollah isn’t Palestinian, and makes no claim to refugee status or rightful ownership of the land of Israel . Their proudly announced determination to obliterate the Jewish state stems solely from religious fanaticism and anti-Semitism, and openly rejects the idea of peace agreements based on any Israeli concessions.
