    Naftali Bennett, a member of Israel’s security cabinet, says any future attack by Hezbollah would be considered a “declaration of war by the Lebanese state” as a whole. He says Israel won’t operate “surgically” in the next war with the Shiite militia.

    Bennett’s remarks to Army Radio on Monday follow Nasrallah’s threat Sunday to crush any Israeli force that enters Lebanon.

    Israel and Hezbollah fought a month-long war in 2006. Hezbollah fired over 4,000 rockets at Israeli communities, while Israel bombed targets in southern Lebanon. About 1,200 Lebanese died, most of them civilians, as well as 44 Israeli civilians and 121 soldiers.

    Today, the two neighboring countries remain technically at war.

    I hope the Zionists don’t start another war in trying to stop the deaths of so called Israeli Arabs, last time around of the 44 civilians 30 were Arab and 121 Jewish boys are dead defending them.
