Hezbollah dismisses Israeli threats of destruction in next war
2008-10-06
Hezbollah officials have dismissed Israeli threats of massive destruction in a future conflict in Lebanon as "media war," speaking to the United Arab Emirates newspaper Al Ittihad.
"You can't hurt us! Only pain hurts us!"
The officials said the Lebanon-based militant group is ready for any Israeli assault, including a surprise attack. They told the paper that Israel is a "cardboard state" that will collapse in a conflict with Hezbollah. "Israel is wrestling with its many problems and has no capability to start a war over Lebanon," Al Ittihad quoted them as saying.

The Hezbollah officials were responding to recent comments by senior Israel Defense Forces officers who intimated that the next war will appear very similar to the last one. In particular, GOC Northern Command Gadi Eisenkot spoke of the IDF using of "disproportionate power" as it did in 2006 Second Lebanon War.
