reference news reported on september 10according to a report on the israeli times website on september 9, israeli mp nissim vaturi, a member of the likud group led by israeli prime minister netanyahu, claimed on the 9th that an all-out war between israel and hezbollah in lebanon is "a matter of days."
watturi reportedly told israel's public broadcaster that if war breaks out, beirut's suburb of dahiyya, a major hezbollah stronghold, "will look like gaza."
"there is no alternative," vaturi said, adding that netanyahu shared the same view and "this will happen in the next few days."
he said netanyahu briefed military officials on the situation on the 8th and told them, "we have to end this farce."
watturi said he believed a war in lebanon should begin with a massive preemptive strike similar to the one that largely thwarted hezbollah's planned attack on central israel in late august, except that this strike would last at least four to five days before a ground invasion.
"i think it's time to deal with the north. we can't continue to sit on the sidelines and watch ourselves lose the north. we have to make a decision. hezbollah is not willing to leave the border, so we need to solve this problem with a strong war. our patience has run out," he said.
waturi has been criticized in the past for repeatedly calling for "burning gaza". in january, he claimed that there were no innocent palestinian civilians in the gaza strip. (compiled by wu mei)
