HEZBOLLAH'S "CONQUER THE GALILEE"

For years, Hezbollah built up military strongholds in southern Lebanon near the Israeli border, a short distance from communities in northern Israel, in direct violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701. These strongholds were established with with the aim of carrying out its ‘Conquer the Galilee’ plan, an October 7-style invasion of northern Israel.

Hezbollah's "Radwan Force" planned to infiltrate northern Israel, targeting its cities, kibbutzim, and IDF bases, with the intention of murdering and kidnapping thousands of Israelis using heavy fire and an underground terrorist tunnel system.

Their plan, code-named "Conquer the Galilee," published in 2015, mirrors the attack carried out by Hamas on October 7, but on a much larger scale.
