Israel will destroy Lebanon's infrastructure if Hizbollah fires rockets at Tel Aviv as Hizbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah threatened on Thursday, a senior Israeli defence source told Channel One television.
"If Tel Aviv is attacked, Lebanese national infrastructure will be destroyed," the state-owned television station said, quoting a senior military source.
Nasrallah, in a taped television message, had said his guerrillas would fire rockets at Tel Aviv, if Israel attacked central Beirut.
Rather disgusting on both sides. They phrase it in terms of infrastructure but this would result in a massive increase in civilian deaths.
I think it is also a dangerous sign that Israel is falling deep into the trap of becoming a monster to defeat one.
