Nasrallah's blatant threat to Israel in a speech he gave on Saturday: "Our eyes and our missiles are aimed at the Karish gas field." Hezbollah's threat is being launched in response to news published over the weekend that Israel is preparing to produce gas from the field soon.

Al Manar, who brought the quote from Nasrallah's words, even published in the same article that even before Nasrallah's speech, Hezbollah sent Israel a message "behind the scenes" according to which if it starts producing gas from Kharish "the Tel Aviv regime will face a real problem."

Behind the scenes, Hezbollah and Iran are trying to set up another front against Israel in the West Bank, through a Hezbollah-like terrorist organization, so far without success. The Iranian strategy is to surround Israel, in a way that would have an effect in the event of war. The reason that this trend may slow down in the West Bank is, first and foremost, that Hamas realized that Iran's representative in the Palestinian territories, the Islamic Jihad, had grown stronger in a way that could threaten Hamas. Following the decision of the Hamas leadership to weaken the jihad, the organization took part in handing over the head of the jihad in the West Bank to Israel, thereby leading to a military conflict between Israel and the jihad. Since the head of the Nahla Jihad bowed to Hamas after the cease-fire with Israel, and basically returned to operating under the auspices of Hamas in Gaza, it is unlikely that he will operate a joint front with Hezbollah against Israel in the West Bank, without the consent of Hamas. Our assessment is that Hamas will not participate in the war that Hezbollah will start, because it is unlikely that Hamas will allow Iran and Hezbollah to strengthen in the West Bank, in such a way that the Islamic Jihad will again threaten its leadership.

However, it should be said that Free Lancer terrorists, those that the Revolutionary Guards are trying to organize in a Hezbollah-like structure, may increase the attacks in the West Bank, if Hezbollah starts a war against Israel.
