And this information was given to you by the army chief-of-staff?
I've discussed this before on the Lebanon/Israel thread. I think you've missed it.

Also, try the Jersualem Post (very much pro-Israel of course!). The Independent has some good past articles on Israel's plans. Also, search for PNAC documents on US-Israeli plan for the Middle East...it makes for a very interesting read.
disarmed=destroyed? In what language
In the language of discernable people that read between the lines and don't believe everything that politicians say. Buzz and irrelevant words like "fighting for freedom" "pangs of birth" (haha) "sustainable" "enemies of peace" etc. are empty propaganda phrases that are spoken for lack of truth. You know.. propaganda... But hey, Israel itself has said that it wants to destroy Hezbollah, it has said this several times since it was kicked out from Lebanon. I guess you have missed this too.

How about telling Hezbollah to stop firing rockets from civilian areas. Where is the evidence that they have done so? There must be some reason why Israel is firing missles where it does. If it just wanted to randomly kill civilians, it has the firepower to flatten all of Beirut. Yeah, it's called: "collective punishment". It has mostly killed Shiaa who are in the South by the way. You do know that many (though not all) Lebanese Christians supported Israel during the Israeli occupation, right? Israel is probably counting on the same type of support certain sectors in Beirut, but it doesn't seem to be going in that direction. It has the support from the House of Saud though! The high civilian death count is inexcusible, but Israel is not the sole culprit. No, no, poor things, their hands are really tied...onto their weapons.
