Israel threatens Lebanon with destruction
Fri, 03 Oct 2008 11:15:24 GMT
Major General Gadi Eisenkot
A senior Israeli military commander has threatened Lebanon with harsh
destruction despite a crushing defeat the regime faced last summer.
"We will use disproportionate force against these villages (in southern
Lebanon) and cause enormous destruction because from our point of view these
are not villages but military bases," Major General Gadi Eisenkot, the top
commander in northern Israel was quoted by Yediot Aharonot on Friday.
He said "what applies to Hezbollah applies even more to Syria."
The regime accuses Syria of providing the Lebanese resistance with military
supplies, and has called on Damascus to cut its ties with Hezbollah as a
precondition for peace talks.
Syria however rejected Israel's demand for cutting ties with Hezbollah.
Speaking in an interview by the London-based daily Asharq al-Awsat on
Wednesday, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem said "It is not correct that
Syria is supplying Hezbollah with weapons and equipment".
Israel fought a 33-day war against Hezbollah in summer 2006, but faced a
heavy defeat after it failed to achieve its goals to destroy the military
power of the Lebanese resistance.
The remarks comes just days after former Israeli Premier Ehud Olmert who
according to Winograd report was among the three officials mainly responsible
for the Israel's 'failures' during the Lebanon war was forced to officially
resign on 21 September.
The ex-Prime Minister's popularity rating began to leg badly behind his
rivals after the war.
