Dan Gillerman: “We will do whatever is necessary, by whichever means are necessary, in order -- in order to incapacitate the Hezbollah…”

This war is not just about the safety of Israel or the freedom of Lebanon, it is about preserving civilization as we know it.

When I say eliminate, I mean totally disarm them, dismantle them so that they never again have the capacity to do what they're doing now, not only to Israel, but to Lebanon and to the whole region.

Israel truly feels that it has to do as much as it can to degrade the capability of the Hezbollah.

This man is ruthless. This man has no compunction about killing women and children. It is, in fact, his declared aim, to kill as many Israeli citizens as possible, and, ultimately, to destroy the state of Israel.
