Hizbullah's Increased Activity among Arab Israelis Intensifies the Security Risks Israel Faces
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Yoni Ben Menachem - The Israel Security Agency is concerned that criminals within Israel's Arab community might align with Hizbullah to pose a heightened security risk for Israel. Hizbullah has been striving to recruit individuals from Israel's Arab population for over two decades and has achieved some success. The recent infiltration of Israel with at least two large Iranian-made explosive Claymore mines is deeply concerning. Security officials believe that Hizbullah is capitalizing on the escalating demand for weapons and explosive devices among Arab criminal factions engaged in internal conflicts. This situation allows Hizbullah to forge alliances with hostile elements within Israel's Arab population, potentially recruiting them as operatives and agents.
