Suleiman slams Israeli threats to target Lebanese civilians

suleiman defLebanese President Michel Suleiman slammed on Thursday Israeli threats to target civilian areas in Lebanon.

โ€œThe Israeli threats are a blatant violation of the 1701 Security Council resolution, of humanitarian values, and peopleโ€™s right to live quietly and safely,โ€ National News Agency quoted Suleiman as saying.

Suleiman also โ€œpresented the Israeli threats to the international community and the UN,โ€ adding that these threats would โ€œspread a feeling of instability among the Lebanese people.โ€

On Wednesday, Israeli air force chief Major-General Amir Eshel accused Hezbollah of putting thousand of bases in residential buildings and said it would destroy these in a future conflict, even at the cost of civilian lives.

Eshel’s threat appeared to be part of an effort by Israeli officials to prepare world opinion for high civilian casualties in any new confrontation with Hezbollah in Lebanon. according to Israeli newspaper Jerusalem Post.

Israel claims that Iran and Syria have supplied improved missiles to Hezbollah.

“We will have to deal aggressively with thousands of Hezbollah bases which threaten the State of Israel and mainly our interior,” Eshel said in a speech, citing Beirut, the Bekaa Valley and southern Lebanon among the locations of the bases.

Eshel alleged that Hezbollah uses Lebanese civilian homes as missile silos or gun nests. He told Fisher Institute for Air and Space Strategic Studies, a think-tank near Tel Aviv:

“And that is where the war will be. That is where we will have to fight in order to stop it and win. Whoever stays in these bases will simply be hit and will risk their lives. And whoever goes out will live.”

Eshel said Israel’s military was “dozens” of times more powerful than Hezbollah and had more capabilities than in 2006.

“Our ability today to attack targets on a large scale and with high precision is about 15 times greater than what we did in the (2006) war,” he said,

    The same tactic america used on bashars regime. In the end nothing happened.

    Suleiman you cannot condem HA and also try and protect them, try protecting the starving the poor and the pro lebanon before protecting pro iran malitias.
    Form the neautral cabinet with neither m8 or m14, use the 3 bill towards uncovering weapons and recruiting new soilders to man gangland areas under the new constitution. M8 and m14 will have to figure out there problems in their own time using their own money for their private shalet hotels and fancy dinner parties.

    1. here in israel, nobody wants this war.we are all scared of it.we know the price we’ll pay will be huge in terms of life and infrustructure alike.a war like this could take years to recover from.
      on the same time, we came to the understanding that it’s inevitable.

      so when it comes idf will lunch full scale to end it fast.
      and i am sad to say it will be terrible if those civilians will be caught in the cross fire.
      2006 was a idf bull charging at the red cloth HA was waving at him. the next time will be an oiled machine on the move.
      i say to you man to man: if you have any compassion to the people in those vilages, make a move- take the HA out of vilages or move the civilians out of them cause when it starts it will be too late

      1. No sure what war you witnessed in 2006. I remember HA doing a bit of ass kicking as well. I particularly remember the 40 or so Israeli tanks that were ambushed in one hit by a less armed HA. I can still see it now how the solders we trying to escape from the tanks with their tales between their legs. Apparently those tanks were the most advanced tanks in the world at the time and little old HA were able to blow them up. How are those solders by the way, still enjoying their stay in the mental hospital.

        1. this is exactly the 2006 i’m talking about .the one HA had a detailed plan and we went in blindly
          the one that made us understand HA did not abandon it’s way after 2000 withdraw.
          everything you talk about did happen but in the end it was still thousands of dead HA’s and a devastated lebanon..so who came the upper hand?do you think next one will be easier on HA? on lebanon?now that’s a mental hospital meterial right here and now
          why don’t we wait and see how the next one will turn out shall we?

          1. I would rather not wait for that. What we should be hoping for is all wars finish and the world lives in peace. What do you think Doron, you like that idea. Or is destruction and death all you Jews live for.

        Power tripper, if israel wants HA the warzone in syria is open the passage for the missiles is exposed, twice israel openly hit empty warehouses and not a rock was thrown back why doesnt israel just finish the job?

        1. HA’ arms are in syria but the body in lebanon.
          so far we attacked SA & yahont missiles headed for ha on syrian soil but if we’re attacked it would be from lebanon

            A risk managment assesment would suggest there is no point attack head on if the route for weapons is still in operation, israel hit 2 empty warehouses and there are numerous reports claiming new evidence of weapons recently reaching lebanon.
            To me this is an attempt to cause dischord in lebanon and israel flexing there muscles. While they are flexing there muscles they may just lose a testicle

            i do know that an attack on yachont missiles in latakiya failed cause the missiles were moved from there in advance. sad but true.
            there was one that succided on SA-17 that succeded- i saw the burned control vihicale in videos syria published.
            if i understand what you mean then i say :risk management is to not allow the riisk of advanced weapons to the arena and would do my best to stop it

        Why don’t people learn? Look what Assad has done to his country, do you think its deterred the rebels? The country is destroyed and they keep coming. What makes you think destroying Lebanese villages and Lebanese infrastructure will stop HA? It will just make them more hardened fighters that are more determined.

        1. Great quote mano, Lebanon,

          Iraq, syria should serve as an example of your quote….very poor results everytime! I wish someone would answer this question in 2006 140.000 people fleed to Syria, more than 300,000 people fleed north of the war zone from south Lebanon. With all the events and sectarianism and fracturing of Lebanese people today due to the crisis in Syria, where are all the civilians from south Lebanon go? only 1 on of many reasons not to play this dangerous game. My heart is with civilians F#$@K the warriors from both sides.

            Sadly, it seems a LARGE part of the whole Middle East is made up of tribes wandering the deserts again. There are fewer ‘homes’ all the time.
            The ‘prophecies’ of people like Wargame and Btru2u seem to be what they aim to accomplish, as ‘some’ are working to make them ‘true’ ad infinitum.
            And the ‘huddled masses’ of humans are NOT being led to anything else.
            Africa suffers in many places in the same way.
            Won’t be ‘adjusted properly’ in our lifetimes, Geo. Stay with the birds.

        2. i understand your point man’o but i beg the differences:
          Assad is systematicly destroying neighborhoods and vilages as a punishment act for harboring rebels.if you read the article you notice eshel speaks specificly on missiles silos and storage built intentionaly inside the vilages to deter an israeli assult.
          warning about it in advance gives lebanon (and HA) time to rethink it’s next moves.
          destroying lebanon will not stop HA but removing it’s arsenal would eliminat it’s powers for a long time.
          the finger should point to HA for intentionaly and deliberatly build it’s weapons storage under those vilages in the first place

          1. man-o-war Avatar

            Well, Assad would probably tell you that you’re wrong about that. Maybe he would make a similar claim. That the rebels are using civilian homes to attack the Syrian soldiers. Hiding weapons in homes and sheltering rebels within civilians areas. Who knows? Maybe they are, would you want to be in the open field against a heavily armed military machine? Also, when he does attack they can use it as propaganda that he’s attacking civilians.

            You are basing your opinion on the notion that what Eshel is claiming is true. We know that in 2006 the same thing was said, and many civilian homes and buildings were destroyed under that pretense. After 30 days of targeting HA and its missile silos, nothing changed. They bombed so much that they ran out of targets they had collected through intelligence gathering. The number of missiles being fired by HA wasn’t diminished. HA is still around and they have rearmed with even more sophisticated weapons.

            If what he says is true, than HA is putting civilians in harms way. I agree on that point. If HA attacks Israel than act, no need to start threatening that you will attack civilian areas, we know Israel would do that. They have done it in the past in Lebanon and Gaza.

            It’s almost like they are setting the stage to attack HA, before anything has been done against them. I guess another preemptive strike, in the name of self defense.

            (?) youtube dot /be /EAqhBma2oA

          3. man’o i agree with almost every thing you say about 2006, not hiding behind excuses :HA caught us off guard,hit the softest spots in our armor and we went berserk i agree but there are some assumption you make on the future that i don’t agree with:

            since 2006 and it’s shocking efect idf has 8 years to prepear. the amount of time and money invested in monitoring HA since then is unpredecended, we know much about HA’s capabilities and tactics then we knew then.

            vilages were stoage areas but not used for firing, HA did that from open land.this time it has a shift in it’s tactics and we’re aware of that
            idf has proofs for staging vilages as missils mass launching and storing locations.Assad can provide none.

            i really see it as a warning to lebanon to what might happen incase HA decides to start another adventure.
            would i fight idf in the open ? sure as hell no ,but if i come to the conclusion that the only way i can fight is from behind human shields i would never fight!
            HA is putting civilians at harm’s way and if they chose to risk them there will be proofs and we’ll all get to see them.idf has a habit of releasing videos of terrorists firing from musqs,schools etc’ when ever there is doubt on the attack.
            from israeli pov this is not the time for preemtive strike. HA is weak,spread thin and was never low on popularity as now.if we start a war ,we’d be providing HA the ladder to climb down from the high tree it climbed on,why should we do that??
            why should we let HA paint itself as the defender of lebanon when it’s not?
            STL will probably put the blame for Hariri’s death on HA & Assad as well and that will increase anger even more
            even if nassralah stay alive to claim “devine victory” V.2 the salafies/takfiris or whatever you call them will jump the opportunity to finish him off. Nassralah doesnt have the safety of lebanon and syria to regroup as it did in 2006
            here the popular believe is let them eat what they cook and it even comes with smirks but…there is also the concern that HA, in it’s despair, would be tempted to act foolishly and attempt a provocation of it’s on and here is where and why the warning was issued.
            i also believe Suleiman is no idiot and this retaliation of him is serving to increase the hype on the matter, make sure the warning reaches Nassrallah’s ears.
            any attempt to drag israel into the internal arab conflict will mean a big time intervention on israel’s behalf and Nassrallah should think twice before he tries one.

      The international community should dismantle this country of terrorists who came to the region from Eastern Europe to create civil unrest attracting extremists from the Muslim world. It is the responsibility of the International community to stop this dog barking before tearing Our flesh apart.

      The truth of the matter is you cant dispute the fact that Hezbollah is a very strong successful disciplined unconventional war machine that absolutely is nestled among a civilian population, they are too smart to be exposed to be hit as a stand alone military base or target. all the compliments I just gave to them does not mean they can shower Israel indiscrimanetly as they did in 2006 and not expect an ugly response in return. both are war machines and both will do a number on innocent civilians and although victory will be declared no matter what the outcome is Lebanon will be rendered unviable and unsalvageable in our generation. todays Lebanon is not half the Lebanon it was in 2006 on many level as far as tourism,stability, or appealing to expats. the only difference is that Hezbollah has bigger hammers which will beget even bigger hammers. no victories for civilians in order.

  5. hmm….
    this is a really bad move from HA, the villages will not protect the missiles in case of war.
    this is a fair warning to lebanon and it’s people:”HA is holding you hostage (again)on it’s way to destroy lebanon (again).you have the time to act. miss this opportunity and the blood is on your hands”
    unfortunatly,Lebanies are too tame to resist HA

      Well the Lebs have missed lots of opportunities to stand up for LEBANON, but the issue is they are brainwashed and most are stupid who follow groups driving around in BLACK tinted window Jeeps because they feel like somebody. WAKE UP PEOPLE OF LEBANON, any country has the rite to speak the way Jews are talking when the threat is at the door step.

      1. i dont think lebanies are stupid, i think they feel like they have a bomb do defuse but they fear messing with the detonator cause it might set the bomb.
        the thing is any bomb eventually explodes, this is what bombs do.and lebanies must realize that the best way to defuse a bomb is now

    2. cook2half Avatar

      Who said the homes are meant to protect hezbushaitan? thats not the point. The main tactic is that when civilians get hurt, the shaitan gets to show footage of it to the UN and western media who will then pressure Israel to stop the bombing. Its more of a political strategy than military.

      1. You are missing the point here, the strategy to kill Lebanese and to take Our land is a dirty game made in Israhell, so don’t come here playing stupid, because You think of You as very smart, all idiots think they are :-))) but before You do a massacre why don’t Your Eshel prove what He says is true, Otherwise will be fabrication of evidence to commit murder.

    3. No You are wrong We are not to tame to resist, and I found Your opinion most idiotic and hypocrite, But is not a surprise coming from a liar Jew, When Our Government seeks to get weapons to fight HA Your Country of Hypocrites (Israhell) protest against Our intentions saying that those weapons can fall in the hands of HA, and considering that Is Israhell the blame of that militia in the South, why not give back the Shebaa Farms to Lebanon and end of conflict.
      d’une telle maniรจre la raison d’รชtre de HA terminera
      Israhell is a Country created with the most dangerous criminals in the whole world, And the international community should dismantle those illegal settlements with squatters from Eastern Europe.

      1. why not give back the Shebaa Farms to Lebanon? cause UN resolution say it’s not lebanies to begin with ,ofcourse you wouldn’t let a petty thing as UN resolutions to come in your way.unless it’s against israel ๐Ÿ˜‰

  6. The 150,000 new Hezbollah missiles from Iran through Syria since 2006 and having them all aimed at Israel is a violation of U.N. 1701 which will be the cause of any new war between Israel and Hezbollah. The Shiite civilians who are storing arms for Hezbollah in their homes will have themselves and their homes targeted, especially in the South of Lebanon. That is what is being said.

Lebanon was in Syria, Syria was in Mesopotamia, Mesopotamia was a great fertile whatever, the key word repeated over and over is “WAS” and on that note with that reasoning, you are directly justifying Israel’s takeover of your dear Palestine.

            Ok, america was red Indians, and Aztecs and Eskimos but today the USA, do you think this is going to change? Fat chance! More importantly no one is being raped or beheaded and they don’t plant bombs they all sing their anthem in unison. Lebanon, thanks to the maronites you say bacame seperated from Syria due to persecution, well then they did great by grabbing the best part of Syria while the others remained in the flat lower parts. Anyway, today Lebanon is Lebanon and our anthem isn’t Syrian, let them continue to persecute us I can live with that, but why is your head all over Syria, Palestine, Saudi Arabia when your feet are in Lebanon. Make up your mind and talk straight, I will respect that a whole lot more.

            Ok then on that basis, the Jews were put on earth first, so they are entitled to claim whatever they fancy, you continuously refer to thousands of years of history records why not Go back to the day it started and then all arguments will be made void. Don’t forget the Jews are human too, believe it or not. Bye the way your one hot huminist.

            There is a misunderstanding here..Jews is a race not a religion. theres only one Semitic race in the World, Jews and Arabs.. we were all Semitc pagans beore. Jerusalem dates from the Stone Age, Jews wer not put on the Earth
            first. I like the Jews not the Fascits Zionists. So you are totally wrong when you say “Don’t forget the Jews are human too..”
            Zionists say Palestinians are mot humans..
            I go back to history because without history we would not be here.
