Israel Must Not Allow Hizballah to Return to Its Border Positions
[Ha'aretz] Ze'ev Schiff - Israel has no choice but to hold Lebanon responsible for what happens on its borders and for what comes out of it. The Lebanese government must see itself as responsible for what Hizballah does out of Lebanon, particularly since Lebanon essentially rejected UN Resolution 1559, which called for disarming the militia. Hamas and Hizballah set the rules of the game with the ongoing rocket fire into Israel and the abduction of Israeli soldiers. If Israel loses in handling this, its strategic and military standing in the region will change and its deterrence of guerrilla warfare and high-trajectory weapons will be undermined.
