JERUSALEM, Aug. 19 — Despite a cease-fire agreement, intends to do its best to keep Iran and Syria from rearming and to kill the militia’s leader, Sheik , says a senior Israeli commander.
commitments to exclude the Hezbollah militia from southern and to disarm it already seem hollow, said the commander, who had a well-placed view of the war and its planning and has extensive experience in Lebanon.
The officer would only speak on the condition of anonymity in an interview on Friday. But, speaking one day before commandos carried out a raid that Israeli officials said was to disrupt arms shipments for Hezbollah from Syria and Iran, he was explicit that Israel would continue to seek out and block any such attempts. ....
Furthermore, he made it clear that Sheik Nasrallah remained a target as the leader of a group that Israel and the United States have labeled terrorist. “There’s only one solution for him,” he said. At another point, he said simply, “This man must die.”
