Israel should “target the civilian infrastructure of the ‘Hezbollah state,’ emphasized head of the Alma Research and Education Center and Middle East expert Tal Beeri, during an interview on Radio 104.5FM.

During the interview, Beeri spoke about data indicating a significant increase in rocket launches toward northern Israel since the start of the ground maneuver in southern Lebanon. After stressing his opinion on how the IDF should conduct its operations in Lebanon, Beeri explained, ”I emphasize the 'Hezbollah state.' This includes their electricity, fuel, and water infrastructures.”

“This is in line with international law, which permits striking infrastructure that enables terrorist activities, and in our view, not enough has been done on this issue of targeting the civilian infrastructure” in Lebanon, which Beeri called “Hezbollah state,” throughout the interview.
