Brig.-Gen. Hertzi Halevy, Commander of the IDF’s 91st Division: “Lebanon will sustain greater damage than that done during the second Lebanon war. The response will need to be sharper, harder, and in some ways very violent. After the Goldstone Report, people in the international community and in Israel thought that battle in a densely populated area could be carried out in a nicer way. It cannot be nice. Without the use of great force, we will find it difficult to achieve our aim, and the enemy should also know that.”
