Israel accused
Lebanon's Hezbollah guerrillas on Wednesday of putting "thousands" of
bases in residential buildings and said it would destroy these in a
future conflict, even at the cost of civilian lives.
The unusually explicit
threat by air force chief Major-General Amir Eshel appeared to be part
of an effort by Israeli officials to prepare world opinion for high
civilian casualties in any new confrontation with Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Israel says Iran and Syria
have supplied improved missiles to Hezbollah, which fought the
technologically superior Israeli military to a standstill in a 2006 war
in Lebanon.
