Israel Has A Plan To Destroy The Lebanese Army In 4 Hours
August 27, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui
Roee Nahmias for Ynet:
A senior advisor to US special envoy to the Middle East George Mitchell has threatened Lebanese army commander, Jean Kahwajim that should his army initiate additional fire exchanges with Israel, the IDF would annihilate his military within four hours, Lebanese newspaper al-Liwa reported Friday. The report further quotes Mitchell’s aide as telling the Lebanese commander that Israel had decided to carry out a plan “which would completely destroy the Lebanese army’s bases, centers and offices within four hours.”
Both the words “Destroy” and “Annihilate” were used in Ynet’s translation. Presumably to avoid repetition. Regardless, that’s like killing 4 Lebanese soldiers every second. I expect an American denial soon.
