(JNS) Yaakov Lappin - On Saturday, a Hizbullah rocket hit a soccer field in the Druze town of Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights, killing 12 children and teens. IDF Brig.-Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser, a research fellow at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, emphasized the need for a strategic and decisive response. "The primary objective must be clear: to deliver a severe blow to Hizbullah to show that we do not overlook such a heinous act." That Hizbullah had used a rocket with such a heavy warhead in a civilian area "with full awareness" was a new development, he said, and something Israel "cannot accept." Israel must "stick to its goals in Gaza while exacting a very heavy price from Hizbullah," said Kuperwasser. In addition, Israel will need to rearrange the security situation in the north to allow tens of thousands of displaced Israelis to return to their homes. "Our actions should convey that we are not deterred by the possibility of further escalation. This could involve striking Hizbullah's military infrastructure, its strategic capabilities, and national [Lebanese] infrastructure that serves Hizbullah's military capabilities."2024-07-30 00:00:00Full Article
