Israel will target Lebanese institutions in war with Hezbollah

Share:

According to a report by Jerusalem Post , Israel will attack Lebanese government targets during a future war with Hezbollah. The daily quoted senior defense officials as saying that “a war could erupt in the North following a future strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

“It was a mistake not to attack Lebanese government targets during the [Second Lebanon] War in 2006,” a the senior defense official explained. “We will not be able to hold back from doing so in a future war.”

According to the official, after the outbreak of the 2006 war the US asked Israel to refrain from bombing Lebanese government targets so as not to weaken Lebanon prime minister at the time, Fouad Siniora, who was aligned with the West.

“Israel complied and restricted its bombings to Hezbollah targets”, he said and added:

“This will not be the same in the future, particularly now that Hezbollah and the government are effectively one and the same.”

Talk of the possible bombing of Lebanese government targets comes as Israel prepares for a possible war with Hezbollah that could result from either an Israeli strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities or a preemptive strike to stop the transfer of sophisticated weaponry from Syria to Lebanon, according to the Israeli daily.

The 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel devastated the whole country. Over 1200 Lebanese were killed mostly civilians , the Lebanese infrastructure was devastated , over 1 million became homeless , mostly Shiites from the south and over 120, 000 housing units were destroyed mostly of Shiite residents in south Lebanon and southern Beirut suburbs. The damages were estimated by UN at over $15 billion.

As soon as the 2006 war started Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah appeared on TV and announced that Iran will pay for rebuilding whatever is destroyed in the war with” Halal” money. But the Halal money never showed up. Instead of putting pressure on Iran to deliver on its promises Hezbollah and its allies occupied downtown Beirut and tried to overthrow the government for not paying quickly enough for rebuilding the south. They forced the Lebanese government which is heavily indebted to borrow more money to help rebuild what was destroyed during the 34 day war.

In January 2011 Hezbollah overthrew the government of PM Saad Hariri and now dominates the current Lebanese government headed by PM Nagib Mikati

    Hezbollah does nothing good for anyone, but bring trouble to most, especially to the people of Lebanon. Can anyone explain who benefits from a criminal/terrorist organization like Hezbollah?

    It is a mistake to bomb Lebanon and Lebanese Institutions… You will galvanize all Lebanon behind Hezbollah… If Hezbollah kicked your ass can you immagine what the whole of Lebanon would do to you?

      Yes, a mistake. And yet, a little kick in the ass wasn’t the same thing as being bombed to rat-shit, Hannibal. The warmongers on both (all) sides should be shot along with Assad … might get some peace after, and maybe that secular functioning government the people (seem to) want.

    Israel may destroy those ‘institutions’ controlled BY HA.  The controllers of those institutions SHOULD be destroyed by the ‘honest, upright, non-Syrio-Iranoid’ people OF Lebanon itself, why leave such a joy to Israel when the wholesome, clean, non-Syrio-Iranoid’ people OF Lebanon can do it themselves??

      You describe it as ‘such a joy’, remember the absolute horror of 2006, which they now claim was merely ‘restricted’ to Hizbullah. How can you say that the Israeli’s new proposed carnage on all of Lebanon (remember when Netenyahu recently said there will be no Lebanon in the future world map) is ‘such a joy’. I despise Hizbullah internally, but I hope that all Lebanese will unite behind them to defeat Israel again, if Israel are to attack, God forbid.

         The ‘good, clean people(non-hezboids)’ of Lebanon should be the ones destroying HA, no need for Israeli involvement.  Without the destructive activities of HA I don’t think Israel would notice Lebanon.

          I may have misunderstood your earlier comments, I would love to see the people of Lebanon peacefully challenge the Hizbullah brutes, and demand that they transfer their arms to the sovereign Lebanese army, and demand they no longer take orders from Iran and Syria before Lebanon, but my point is that Israel wants to destroy Lebanon, please don’t confuse an intense Israeli bombardment of Lebanese infrastructure (which would decimate thousands of civilians like the last ‘restricted’ attack in 2006 did, remember when they murdered all those children hiding in a UN school in Qana) with a polite attempt to defeat Hizbullah, I hope that Hizbullah will kick their ass if they attack Lebanon. Also they say that they will attack Lebanese government institutions, this shows the Israeli’s don’t only want to attack Hizbullah (as they claimed to only be doing when they last destroyed Lebanon) but they wish to destroy our democratic institutions. I don’t believe that Hizbullah are trying to provoke Israel, as you suggest. Sure, Lebanon would do better without an army of Iran being the only army in Lebanon, but please understand that Israel is the enemy of Lebanon, and what you call ‘Israeli involvement’ equals the mass destruction of Lebanon, and a chance for Israel to venue for their defeat in 2006 and capture the Litani.

    My grandfather studied in Beirut, and I hope some day to visit Lebanon as a tourist. It’s very sad that the government of Lebanon is kidnapped by Iran and it’s Lebanese arm, the Hizbullah. I wish Israel and Lebanon that we would never fight again, and that Lebanese (including Shiites) would be able to take the train, bus or own car directly to Tel Aviv, Haife or Jerusalem. They will be amazed to see that the Israelis look, dress and behave like other middle eastern nations, and eat basically the same food. For me personally- I eat regularly Arabic style pite, Lebanese or other Arab style Hummus and Syrian olives. Like most Israelis.

      Ya ok the fact that you eat Hummus would make you automatically my brother/sister. I have nothing against you as a person, it is the bombs that came down on Beirut, which your grandftaher loved and I love much more, that ruin my appetite. Your message of peace is grand but I do not think your government wants peace or at least not on anyone’s but its own terms.  I am sorry but reality check it is not us Lebanese who are blinded to the truth of Israelis it is the other way around.

        ”

The only period of peace was when Lebanon didn’t allow anyone to attack Israel from her soil. Israelis don’t wish to attack Lebanon for being Lebanon. The same cannot be said for many Lebanese.

      Any bacon in your fridge? I’m sure you have eggs …
      By the way, there’s nothing wrong with Lebanese olives. (We note some ancient trees seem to get burned in the West Bank on occasion – are you against those ones too?)
      Religions – enforced beliefs – perverted in so many ways by all sides in how they treat ‘others’ – will prevent that free driving experience for many more years. Maybe your children could experience it. Happy thought.

    Especially as our media allows all points of view and the only one that the Lebanese media isn’t allowed to espouse is one in favor of relations with Israel. It seems to me that you’re the ones getting a scewed picture.

      When Lebanon murders 1,200 Israelis in 33 days, kidnaps Israelis, occupies land, bombs hospitals, and U.N bases, and tries to demonize an entire peoples, we’ll see how open Israeli media is about Lebanese recognition.

    I think Israel did its worst in 2006. It bombed everything. This includes army barracks, milk factories, power plants, roads, bridges, schools, mosques, homes, ambulances, hospitals etc. This “official” is simply trying to find fault with Israel’s losses in 2006. Murdering 1,200 civilians in 33 days means 1) you are a terrorist state, and 2) you bombed some of everything.

    Peace is actually pretty easy to achieve. It starts with Israel agreeing to stop terrorizing the Palestinians, return to the 1967 borders, and allow Palestinians to claim the same right of return European Jews claimed. The same rights that apply to Jews apply to Arabs. It is clear, from the Arab peace plan that the Arab world would accept Israel once it agrees to accept this peace and renounce its anti-Semitic Zionist foundations.

      The most stupid was the bombing of oil storage tanks … and THEN bombing the dirt berm around those which could have stopped the oil from flowing into the Mediterranean, and THEN preventing clean-up to begin quickly, thus creating the ecological monster that oil companies hate to think about having to pay for. I worry that they want to begin drilling in the sea, if they have THAT attitude.
