CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler quoted: “Since a rocket hit the Israeli-annexed Golan on Saturday, killing twelve children and young people, diplomats have been working hard to prevent a war between Israel and the Islamist Hezbollah militia in southern Lebanon. Jerusalem declared that the attack on the Druze-populated town of Majdal Shams crossed a red line and announced counterattacks. […] Security expert Hans-Jakob Schindler sees "no real chance at the moment that Hezbollah will be persuaded to retreat behind the river." He told the Tagesspiegel newspaper: "At the moment, it is not only in the interest of Hezbollah, but also in the interest of Iran, which is Hezbollah's main sponsor , to keep tensions with Israel as high as possible.”

CEP Senior Research Analyst Josh Lipowsky writes: "While investigators have blamed Hezbollah and its Iranian backers for the heinous terror attack, even now, 30 years later, justice has remained elusive for the victims of the AMIA bombing. No arrests have been made. Hezbollah remains a threat to global security. And Iran continues to sponsor terrorism around the world."

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed for story: "It is the second major front for the Israeli military. In recent days, there has been an increase in fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon on the northern border of the Jewish state. Fighting has intensified, particularly after the death of a senior commander of the Shiite militia last week."

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed for story: "Israel announces that it will silence its weapons in southern Gaza for several hours a day. An expert explains the extent to which this has something to do with the fight against Hezbollah."

"'This is a calculated tactic by Iran to “take the pressure off Hamas,' said Sir Ivor Roberts, senior adviser to UANI and the Counter Extremism Project (CEP),

In his role as head of the UK’s counter-terrorism, he dealt with Hezbollah back in the 1980s while they pursued a vicious campaign of kidnapping Westerns."

"'Like Iran, Hezbollah considers the United States and Israel to be its chief enemies, which has led to a global terrorist campaign against the two nations. Until September 11, 2001, Hezbollah was responsible for killing more Americans than any other terrorist organization...The group’s manifesto describes the U.S. as the root of abomination and declares that its “determination to fight the U.S. is solid,' says think tank Counter Extremism Project (CEP)."
