"“The [Israeli army] is preparing seriously and professionally for another
Lebanon war. The response will need to be sharper, harder, and in some ways very
violent. The next war will be with very heavy exchanges of fire on both sides,
and so both need to make every effort to stop this happening,” said
Brigadier-General Hertzi Halevy in comments published Friday in Haaretz. Halevy’s comments were echoed by a senior officer in the Israeli army's
northern command. "The next war will be different, and therefore we should stop it as quickly
as possible, in order to make things easier for the home front. This means
carrying out a very strong attack against Lebanon and the damage will be
enormous,” said the unnamed officer."" (thanks Basim)
