Times of Israel: If Hezbollah attacks, go to war with Lebanon, ex-national security adviser urges

‘In addition to Hezbollah targets, we should also attack Lebanon’s army, airports, seaports and other strategic assets,’ argues former IDF operations chief Giora Eiland

If Hezbollah attacks Israel in retaliation for the alleged Israeli assassination of terror chief Samir Kuntar, Israel should direct its own response not at Hezbollah alone, but at the state of Lebanon in which it operates, former National Security Council chief Maj. Gen. (res.) Giora Eiland said Wednesday.

Since a full-blown Israel-Hezbollah war will likely involve many thousands of rockets falling on Israel’s civilian population centers, while Israeli strikes against Hezbollah alone will leave the world “indifferent” to the results of the conflict, Eiland wrote in an oped in the Ynet news site.

WNU editor: By the sound of it .... if former IDF operations chief Giora Eiland is to be beleived .... it appears that some in Israel believe that war is just around the corner.
