“The actions of the Israeli army in Lebanon against the terrorist organization Hezbollah have an impact not only on the Middle East region, but also on Germany, as terrorism expert Hans Jakob Schindler, Senior Director of the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) in Berlin and New York, explains to the Berliner Morgenpost. He also describes Germany's role for the Lebanese militia. First of all: Who is Hezbollah? The "Party of God" is a Shiite organization that is mainly active in Lebanon. Like the Palestinian Hamas, it is divided into a political and military arm. The focus of Hezbollah, which is classified as a terrorist organization in Germany, is the fight against Israel and the spread of the Islamist revolution in Iran, says Schindler. He previously worked for the German government and was an advisor on the topics of Islamic State, al-Qaeda and the Taliban - including at the United Nations Security Council.” 

"Hans-Jakob Schindler of the Berlin-based Counter Extremism Project breaks down Israel's four stated objectives for its land incursion into southern Lebanon. He told DW that keeping the Israeli operation against Hezbollah "limited, localized and targeted" will pose a challenge."

“After Iran has responded with ballistic missile attacks on Israel's ground offensive into Lebanon, Ask DW answers your questions. We'll be joined in the studio by DW's Middle East analyst Shani Rozanes and by security expert and senior director of the Counter-Extremism Project Hans-Jacob Schindler as well as journalist Karim El-Gawhary from Beirut.” 

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler quoted: “Tensions in the Middle East are reaching a new high. Terrorism specialist Hans-Jakob Schindler analyses the possible effects of the Israeli counterattacks on Lebanon and outlines scenarios for the future. What is Iran doing? Who needs to intervene urgently now?”

“Hans Jakob-Schindler, senior director at the Counter Extremism Project, discusses the situation in Lebanon and the growing fears of an all-out war.”
 

"Edmund Fitton-Brown, a former senior United Nations counterterrorism official who is a senior adviser at the Counter Extremism Project, a non-governmental organisation, warned it appeared to be getting 'harder and harder to prevent escalation each time'."
