Israeli general warns of ‘devastating war’ with Hezbollah

Share:

Israeli Maj. Gen. Yair GolanA top Israeli military leader on Wednesday issued a stern warning to the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, saying any future war between the two enemies will unleash “devastating” damage on Lebanon.

Maj. Gen. Yair Golan, Israel’s deputy chief of staff, told foreign journalists that Hezbollah has developed capabilities that present “unprecedented” threats to Israel. Israel estimates the group has over 100,000 rockets and missiles in its arsenal.

Golan said any future war will be “much harsher” than anything experienced in the past 20 years.

“In any future crisis, they are not going to see a small war in Lebanon. It’s going to be decisive. It’s going to be full-scale war,” he said.

“That could create devastating damage to Lebanon,” including in civilian areas, where he said Hezbollah hides and operates. “There is no other way to take out this threat without … creating large damage to the Lebanese infrastructure, to Lebanese houses and other civilian facilities.”

Israel and Hezbollah fought a monthlong war in the summer of 2006 that ended in a stalemate.

The fighting killed about 1,200 Lebanese, including hundreds of civilians, and about 160 Israelis. Israeli airstrikes caused heavy damage to Lebanon’s infrastructure, while Lebanon fired several thousand rockets into Israel. Israeli officials say Hezbollah’s improved missile arsenal is now capable of striking virtually anywhere in the country.

    The War-Dogs Bluster on both sides. ‘We can kill your country better than you can kill ours.’
    The ‘raison d’etre’.

    1. I think it is more than barking dogs, the risk of a full scale war is very real and will be devastating for all involved. All that needs to happen is for Iran to give the order and Hezbullah puppet will make it happen despite what is best for Lebanon and its majority non-Shiite, non-Hezbullah.

      Alas, the government of Lebanon will do nothing to reign in Hezb/Iran, and will be sleepwalking into disaster when Nasrallah announces renewed resistance against Israel.

        That puppet is why you still have a country I would rather live with the Hizb as a proud Lebanese than live under the Zionist boot. You enjoy bending over to the Israelis, not everyone does. .

            Thousands of Israeli Holocaust Survivors Still Living in Poverty, Fighting for Recognition.
            Seventy years after the end of WWII, some 20,000 aging Holocaust survivors receive little or no support from Israel, and 45,000 live under poverty line.
            Where did the Billions Germany gave for the Hollow Cost?
            Why did the World give Palestine? Finkelstein was right Khazar have no connection with the Middle East.

            And how does this relate to Lebanon’s economic condition?

          7. Wow. The degenerate anti-Semite’s heart bleeds for Holocaust survivors now. Wonders never cease.

            Stop Zionists language vulgarity.

  2. Let’s do some math: 10000 rockets+ war =40000 rockets+war=100000 rockets+war= more rockets to sell.
    Solve the equation!

  3. What Hezbollah has done to our country is terrible. They militarily take over cities whenever they don’t get their way. They attack the zionists and of course the zionists retaliate.

    All in the name of the crazy Iranian mullahs. Hezbollah does not care about Lebanon. They only care about getting their gold and power from Iran.

      I agree with you. But a good question, who would be the other thug if it was not Hezbo?

        One man’s thug is another’s hero. That hero that keeps Israel in check, The only Arab force that ever did that. Israel never feared anyone the way they do the Hizb, and that’s good enough for all of us with dignity. why not. We don’t care how you label them, for as long as they keep the fear in the Zionist’s heart.

      I guess you’re used to living under the Israeli boot with no problems, nothing changed in your case, now you live under the Hizb’s boot rather than the Israeli. Idiots like you don’t know or understand what honor, dignity and pride mean. you bend over to the next invader.

            they install them high enough for the Jewish women in the back of the Bus and the other women attempting to pray at the wailing wall to see while the Jewish men are chasing them away while stunning them. The point of the comment was how scarred the Israelis are, now they’re putting the TVs on the smoke chimneys of the Ammonia manufacturing tanks that will go Boom soon. That is for everyone in Haifa to see.

    This is very unfortunate for Lebanon they are bull-heading with a very powerful state. You Lebanese were given a chance to end the devastating civil war and start a new life…hmmm it was not your choice either…someone had to tell you to stop…hmmm are not they the same people who told you to fight?

    As if the murdering Israelis can do more than they did in 2006 hollow threats, nothing but hot air from a scarred nation. They know the next one will bring more destruction and death to Israel than Israel ever experienced.

        ‘Sacred Terrorism” is Moshe Dayan.“

        “Our American friends offer us money, arms, and advice. We take the money, we take the arms, and we decline the advice. “
        –Moshe Dayan, America’s hero of the 1967 Preemptive attack on Arab nations.

        When, in all our history, has anyone with ideas so bizarre, so archaic, so self-confounding, so remote from the basic American consensus, ever got so far? —Richard Hofstadter

        “We killed them out of a certain naive hubris. Believing with absolute certitude that now, with the White House, the Senate, and much of the American media in our hands, the lives of others do not count as much as our own…”

        –Ari Shavit, May 27, 1996 New York Times, (expressing sorrow and anger at Israel’s deliberate massacre of over 100 Lebanese civilians under U.N. protection in Qana, Lebanon; April 1996)
