OCCUPIED AL-QUDS: Israel´s army estimates that thousands of rockets could slam into the Jewish state in any future conflagration, military sources said on Friday ahead of a nationwide civil defence drill.
“Total war on several fronts, destruction of essential equipment and infrastructure and heavy rocket bombardment” all form part of the scenario for the exercise, which runs from Sunday until September 21, the army said.
The drill is based on projections of the army´s Home Front Command, which estimates 1,500 rockets crashing into the country each day, military sources said in a briefing to Israeli reporters, local media reported.
The projectiles could be launched simultaneously by Leba**n´s militia Hizbullah across Israel´s **rthern border and to a far lesser extent from Hamas-ruled Gaza in the south.
Hamas is said to have been left seriously weakened after a 2014 Gaza war against Israel, but it still holds thousands of rockets, according to a military official.
Hizbullah has at least 100,000 and probably more, said the official, speaking on condition of a**nymity.
Only around one in 100 rockets is likely to hit a building, military sources say, with the rest falling on open ground or being intercepted by Israel´s Iron Dome missile defence system.
They say 95 percent of rockets fired will likely carry a light payload and have a range of less than 40 kilometres, but Hizbullah can hit densely-populated central Israel with dozens of rockets each day.
