Ex-defense official: Iran entrenchment in Syria ‘collision course’ for region
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAmos Gilad, a retired senior defense official, tells the Herzliya Conference that Iran’s intentions in Syria mean a wider conflagration may only be a matter of time.
“They want to build a second Hezbollah-stan,” Gilad says, referring to the Iranian-backed Lebanese Shiite terrorist group that last fought a war with Israel in 2006.
“They are determined to do it and we are determined to prevent it,” he adds. “It means we are on a collision course.”
