Good news: If there's another war with Lebanon, IDF will target infrastructure
Defense Minister Ehud Barak said on Thursday that in the event of another war with Hezbullah, which as I have noted is appearing more likely, Israel will target Lebanese infrastructure and not pretend that Hezbullah is a state within a state as was the case in 2006.
Speaking to Israel Radio, the defense minister said that during the Second Lebanon War in the summer of 2006, there was tacit agreement with the United States to avoid targeting state infrastructure like roads, power stations, airports and other state institutions.
But if another confrontation erupts in the future, Barak added, the military will no longer be prevented from using its might to its full extent against the enemy.
