Colonel Roy Levy, in an article published in the Hebrew-language Ma'arakhot
magazine, which is affiliated to the Israeli army, wrote that "targeted
killings" must be carried out, and that Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah should be killed
by commando forces backed by the air force, the Hebrew-language Walla news
website reported.
"His personality and military experience have turned him into a center of
gravity. All of his organization - from senior commanders to the low-ranking
soldiers - and thus the fighting spirit of the enemy will be harmed once he is
targeted,” Levy wrote.
He then recommended Israeli military operations deep inside Lebanon, asserting
that the offensives would yield many benefits despite the risks associated with
them.
The Israeli military commander also called for "a proper positioning of combat
commando units with the aim of subjugating the enemy.”
"Should we make a similar decision and kill the leaders of enemy organizations,
for example, Nasrallah? The answer is not easy.
"But the idea of harming the enemy's fighting spirit by damaging its property
must be examined. We must adopt a policy not anchored in force, but in ruse
instead. The deep activity of commandos in a way that surprises the enemy and
strikes its equipment will be an important means of damaging its fighting
morale, and will lead to its defeat,” Levy commented.
On November 28, 2017, the Israeli military's chief spokesman said Nasrallah
would be a target for assassination in any war between Israel and Hezbollah.
Ronen Manelis added that the Israeli military is conducting psychological and
media warfare against Hezbollah.
"One of the things we talk about is the transition from traditional media
consumption to social media,” Manelis said, adding, "We are also active in this
theater, and it is an operational theater in every respect. Just in the past few
weeks, we’ve taken a great many actions that caused consternation on the other
side.”
"There won’t be a clear victory picture in the text war, though it’s clear that
Nasrallah is a target,” he added.
