Israel’s enemies will gain access in the coming years to precision guided missiles that will allow them to target individual buildings, former defense minister Ehud Barak warned on Wednesday.
Barak spoke in Tel Aviv at a conference held at the International Institute for National Security Studies to mark Israel Science Day, which was organized by the Science, Technology and Space Ministry.
Science is serving hostile enemy forces, Barak said.
“We will continue to see many more missiles, a lot more accuracy, and within five years the missile will reach a maximum level of accuracy that will allow them to choose which building in Israel to hit. These means will proliferate, and will be cheaper for terror organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas in Gaza,” he added. “In the future we will see terrorism backed by science and technology.”
Threats from biological and chemical attacks by non-state actors also present growing dangers, Barak warned.
“Somewhere in a small lab, hostile elements sit planning the future weapon of mass destruction. This is an unprecedented terrorism potential,” he stated, adding, “We can’t wait until the threat is realized, as the gap will be difficult to close.”
