Israel's Defense Cannot Rely on Financial Gain Only - How Many Shekels Worth are the Missles Already Pointed at Tel Aviv

Israel's defense was not a part of the deal to extract gas and oil from Lebanon. And Hizbollah is certainly not looking at any restraints if called upon to react if the Iranian Islamic Regime commences its alleged retaliations towards Israel's interdictions in the north in Syria. Soulemani remains unrevenged as well. It does not appear from this observation that there is enough financial advantages to keep some overreaching incident from blowing a fuse and the barrages commence. Lebanon's proxy status is just not all that stable.
