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.
Gillerman clarifies that Israel's goal is to disarm Hezbollah to prevent future threats to the region.

I think that the statement made by the secretary general was very unworthy of such a seasoned diplomat. I think it was premature, hasty, deplorable and irresponsible.
Syria is a perpetrator and harborer and financer and initiator of terror.
Israel truly feels that it has to do as much as it can to degrade the capability of the Hezbollah.
As we know, the Hezbollah is really just a proxy of Iran and Syria. This is not just about this horrible terror organization in the south. It's about Iran and Syria, who are financing it and using it in order to destabilize the region.
