Israel could be hit with 50 tons of explosives in next war

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - "Israeli" War Minister Ehud Barak warned the Knesset Foreign Affairs and War Committee on Monday that the "Israeli" entity could be subject to around 50 tons of explosives during its next war, Haaretz "Israeli" daily reported.

 However, the Zionist Minister added that despite the alarming statistics, his entity's military forces could retaliate by firing back some 1,500 tons of ammunition "with extreme precision".

 Barak indicated that there are significant efforts made by some armies in various Arab countries, aiming at diminishing the military capabilities of the "Israeli" military army by improving antiaircraft technologies.

 The Zionist daily further stated Barak saying that once "Israel" has finish equipping itself for every level of weapon interception, "it will bring about a significant and positive change for "Israel's" strategic balance in the region".

 "Israel's" War Minister declared that such an endeavor will take 20 years of preparation, referring that a step like this would impose on "Israel" to increase its budget on ammunition and weaponry to meet the challenge.

 On the level of the Palestinian bid to the UN to become an observer state in September, Barak said, "[They] are working to achieve a critical mass of states that would support a Palestinian state along the 1967 borders". Barak doubted they would be able to reach the aforementioned mass.

 Ehud Barak confirmed his entity's interest in negotiations with the Palestinians, yet said that is negotiations were impossible to be held, then "Israel" will aspire to "get support from significant states for the UN vote".
