Hizballah Takes Aim At Israel’s Natural Gas Discovery
Middle East • August 2010 • Views: 475
The discovery of a gigantic natural gas reservoir less than 100 miles off Israel’s coast seems like great news for the diplomatically and militarily embattled country. The gas finding will strengthen Israel’s energy security, enable it to become an important gas exporter and contribute wealth to its economy.
It could also be the pretext for the next Middle East war.
One more example of how energy, and energy security, intermixes with terrorism.
Hezbollah will undoubtedly look for ways of exploiting this situation.
